Trap
« on: December 12, 2010, 11:06:37 AM »
Hi, I'm a noob here.  Anyways I just got back into bowling a couple months ago, my last league was in 2006, to give you all an idea how long it's been my previous arsenal was an Ebonite Red Wolf pearl reactive, ProZone, and ProZone Blue.  Anyways I've been rolling with a used Jigsaw Corner to get back into my groove, however I wanna try and get something new, as I don't wanna burn out the corner.  I was wondering what everyone's opinion on the trap was for medium to heavy?  Also is it a considerable step from the previous balls in the Jigsaw series?  I'm not really getting too much info in regards to how it compares to the Jigsaw and the Corner.  Thanks for the info!

The Trap is a Pearl version of the Corner. In comparison to the Corner it is going to be cleaner through the front with more backend. As far as heavy oil goes it really isn't too good on heavy oil with the out of box finish. Do you like the way the Corner rolls? Does it just burn up the lanes too much for your liking? I guess what type of ball motion do you like to see?

hey thanks for the info!  I really like the way the corner rolls, on good conditions it gives me a couple of boards to compensate if I miss my mark.  I'm just getting back into bowling after a 4-5 year absence so I got the corner used.  It still has more games on it, however I don't wanna burn it out you know?  The only complaint I have about the corner is that it needs that oil to react, in my case I'm low-mid rev on my release.  Also there will be some days where I can't get a pocket shot and I'll go 5 splits a game, but that just could be my timing or approach who knows.  So I'm getting a Brunswick Damage in a couple of weeks for dry conditions, but all in all I love the corner!  However with what you were saying in regards to the Trap, if I got the Trap it would probably be a good idea to get it sanded if I were looking for medium to dry?  What would you recommend?

If you are getting the Trap for medium to dry, out of box condition would be ideal. In your previous post you said medium to heavy, that is why I suggested sanding it. Since you like the Corner so much the Trap would be the way to go, like I said it is just a pearl version of the Corner.

That's what I meant medium to heavy, I don't know why it came out medium to dry.  But again thanks for the info!  I'll most likely pick one up after Christmas
