HEY ALL, NEED SOME HELP WITH NEW BALL SELECTION. IM LOOKING FOR A HEAVY OIL BALL, THAT CAN HANDLE HEAVY CARRY-DOWN CONDITIONS. CURRENTLY THINKING ABOUT, HAMMER HAWG, TRACK RULE GP2, ROTO-GRIP EPIC BATTLE, COLUMBIA EPX-T1, STORM PASSION AND A FEW OTHERS.

IM A TWEENER, 18-19 MPH, AROUND 300-350 RPM, SEMI-ROLLER. CURRENTLY STAND AT ABOUT 15, THROW OUT TO ABOUT 10 AT THE BREAK-POINT, BUT HAVE TO PLAY STAIGHTER WHEN CARRY-DOWN IS EXTREME.

LOOKING FOR A BALL THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO OPEN UP THE LANE A LITTLE BIT MORE AND NOT SKID DOWN THE LANE WHEN CARRY-DOWN IS EXTREME. LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT WILL HAVE A STRONG MID-LANE TRANSITION, BUT WONT BURN UP.

CURRENTLY USING:

COLUMBIA ACTION- AWESOME BALL, GREAT FOR MEDIUM-HEAVY, CAN HANDLE LIGHT CARRY-DOWN, BUT SKIDS TOO MUCH WHEN BACK-ENDS ARE SOAKED.

TROPICAL STORM- DRILLED FOR LENGTH, USE ON LIGHT CONDITIONS AND FOR SPARES.

STORM SUPER CHARGE- DONT USE MUCH SINCE BUYING THE ACTION, BUT STILL A GREAT MEDIUM OIL BALL.

DRILLING SUGGESTONS AND OTHER BALL SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME.

THANK YOU.

It's hard for me to give you an accurate ball for this type of condition because I have not tried many of these heavy oil balls. However there are some things that you should consider.

First you should probably be looking into a particle ball only for this type of condition because it will grab better on the carrydown. The GP2 is probably a good choice.

Next the drilling maybe a little tricky. You want a ball that will eat thru carrydown but not burn up on the way to the pins. You could try a pin at 4.5" from your pap and kick the cg right far enough to require a balance hole. This should help it get into it's roll once it reaches the carrydown.

I hope this helps you.

I say look at the AMF TERMINAL VELOCITY. I have seen this ball in action and all I can say is WOW! this is the most underrated ball out there right now.
