Title: Medium oil ball
Post by: TheMan14 on December 24, 2005, 02:20:49 AM

Which ball would you recommend for medium oil? I throw 15-17 m.p.h. medium-high revs. Looking for a ball to fit under my Xxxcel.

Ebonite Big Time
Ebonite Big Time Pearl
Ebonite Overtime
Ebonite The One

Any of those would work, but if I had to say , my suggestion would be :

OverTime
Big Time Pearl

I think the Big Time Pearl is a great ball.  I also have the XXXcel and the Big Time. The Big Time fits under the XXXcel but is still a heavy/medium ball IMHO.  But my teammate and pro shop operator has the Big Time polished and he is able to adjust the surface from dull to shinny easily.  Both bowling balls outstanding but the Big Time is a little more versatile.  Another bowler I bowl with throws the Big Time and the Overtime and he states the Overtime just has more back end then the Big Time drilled the same.  I have not thrown the Overtime but I did watch him throw both.

I'm sorry, but unless your going to have a three ball mini arsenal the btp does not cut it.  It is not just a step down from the xxxcel it is a leap.  I would go with either the bt or the ot.  The ot is my personal favorite.  The ot to me is rollier and more continuous than the bt.  The one is not a bad choice, but drill it accordingly and add some surface.
