Stinger Low Flare Alternative
« on: October 18, 2006, 02:44:09 PM »
Hi, I'm most likely what you would call an amatuer bowler. I more bowl for fun that anything else. I'd love to bowl a little more competitively, but time is probably the most deciding factor when I choose not to.

Anyway I'm looking to pickup another ball. I have had my Ebonite Stinger 2-Piece Low Flare for over 2-3 years now, and have really enjoyed the way this ball has rolled. I was looking for something very similar maybe with a little less hook than the Stinger. One thing to keep in mind is that I roll with only two fingers, I know its very unethical and inconsistent, but thats the way I taught myself and thats how I bowl.

Thanks in advance for any responses/tips. I'm always looking to improve my game.
Tim

Sorry, it is a stinger my mistake.

the ice and the black ice do have the same core but with alittle more aggressive coverstock but wouldn't be a bad option if u are replacing your low stinger low flare

Black Ice and drill the flare out of it. If you are prone to early hook go with longer Pin to PAP. If your ball goes too long then snaps look at an early rolling drill with a closer PIN to PAP. Like a 2X2 or 1X3. I am guessing using two fingers that you put quite a few revs on it.
