Title: Looking for a ball when the lanes dry out
Post by: wholagan on March 15, 2005, 12:14:48 AM: I bowl in the ABT and I am looking for a ball that I can use when the lanes are GONE. We bowl 3-4 games then wait and then bowl 3 more (If I make the cut) by the 2nd game in the second round I am throwing my plastic ball and the reason why is that all my other balls are over hooking. I change my line but I like to throw (right handed) 23-27 and go over 13-9 My AVE is 165 and ball speed depends on lane but normally med. I also have MED REVS on the ball..
any suggestion please send..

Thanks
Wholagan

You can also pick up old Faball Black Hammers and pearl urethane Hammers at BowlingBall.com. The new Hammer makes a red pearl urethane with a pancake weight block.

Yeah, if you're shifting from a Sling Blade to plastic, then you need a tweener. The Pure Hammer is a great ball, but it's partially reactive and maybe stronger then you need. I think the recommendations you see above are all good. I depends on what you're willing to spend. I do agree that something with a core is better for strike balls. Even the XXXL (polyester) from Lane #1 is great for desert shots.

Post by: dizzyfugu on March 15, 2005, 08:46:52 AM: If you still can get one, the TPC Shooter from Ebonite is a great ball for dried up/light oil conditions. With an aggressive drilling, this ball should fit well into your game/line.
