Title: Need LM Skid Flip Recommendations
Post by: LanemasterLefty on February 06, 2008, 11:00:43 PM

I am looking to order a new LM ball tonight for a skid flip type reaction...
I am thinking about...

1. WCR - pin over bridge
2. WCPP Shined - pin over bridge
3. Buzz - pin over bridge

Any suggestions - recommendations ?

For how much oil?  For heavier volumes of oil, I'd go with the Black Pearl over the WCPP.  The World Class core is very rolly and even with a flippy drilling, it won't be a true skid-flip ball.  For lighter volumes, the Big-R-Bang is the way to go.  Be careful how high you put the pin, it's got a LOT of length already, but it sure does move when it hits the dry boards.

Sting and Buzz are my two most skid slip LM/L pieces that I have.  I don't have a lot to compare though.

IMHO, you may want to think about the Sure Stike too; it's a reactive pearl with easy length and a big backend. Depending upon what condition(s) that you plan to use it on, as well as all of your own personal variables, I believe that it could work for you also.
A call to Galen Gentry at LaneMaters wouldn't be a bad idea either ...

I'm with Robb.  If you want to see a big skid/flip reaction, drill a pin up Sure Strike.

Sure Strike, Big-R-Bang and Sting are the 3 most flippy balls made bt LM/L recently. they handle medium-light to medium (SS & BRB) and medium to medium-heavy (Sting).

Other balls can be made more flippy by the high pin drilling.
