Need something below BW, Help!
« on: December 03, 2007, 01:33:25 AM »
I bowled in a scratch tourney this weekend for the first time and I was pretty happy with my bowling except for one thing. I used the BW almost exclusively to start and after 3 games when the lanes broke down, I struggled when I had to change hand postions and target to get the ball to work. I have a BWP and I switched to that and it did not give me the look I need which is a little longer than the original BW with the same type of roll.
My question is, what would be a good ball to fit below the original BW with OOB surface when the lanes are too dry for that. A doom or maybe a BW with polish? I also have a cherry vibe, but that was not quite turning the corner.

I dont see why the BWP didnt work. It rolls very similar to the solid but about 3-4 feet longer. And yes, you could look into a Doom

Thanks pilot. That is why I bought the BWP but it seemed more rolly on this conditon than I wanted. The heads were pretty shot so that didn't help. I will probably try it at a couple of different places and see what happens.

Doom or Toxic would be my suggestion, if the pearl didn't work. Might hit the pearl with a VERY light polish, might give you what you need at no/less cost of a new ball.

I have the Doom just under the BW solid.  I have the BWpearl, but it is either too skid flippy or just too strong under the BW.  So I drilled a Doom with the pin almost under the middle finger and CG swung to the right a bit.  It goes long and still has pretty good punch into the pocket.

Thanks for the replies. I am not ready to give up on the BWP but it was sure frustrating this weekend not getting the reaction I like. Maybe the BWP is not a tourney ball. I have used it in league and it works very well on THS.

The Cherry Vibe hands down. That ball is very comparable to my Black Widow, but for lighter conditions. Great angle, carry, hit, you name it. My Widow and Vibe are drilled the same, and great together.
