*sigh* cant make up my mind
« on: December 06, 2004, 07:23:02 AM »
Once again I've gone back on a plan. Now Im NOT goin to 14, just going to stay with light 15 because I can handle that. Second, I dont know if I want to go all storm now, because everyone is telling me its a bad idea! So, I've decided to just say F it and let you guys make something up for me! Something with 4 balls, as I have a triple x factor right now that is the right weight for me. (light 15). So make me up something pretty! The only thing I want is particle for heavy oil. I dont care what company, except lane 1! (cant afford it)

Heavy-
Medium/heavy/carrydown-
medium-Triple X Factor
medium/light-
light-


AND DONT START BUSTING ON ME CUZ I CANT MAKE UP MY MIND!!!! Its not my fault Im indecisive! So lets hear it, what would be the 'perfect' arsenal? A friend of mine was supposed to buy the triple x, and a guy on here offered me money for it to, but I decided to keep it.

Heavy - Animal (stacked leverage) - sand to 800-grit if needed
Medium/heavy/carrydown - Rule
Medium - Xception
Medium/Light - Crash or Crunchtime
Light - Dry Heat/Powergroove/Scout Reactive

....That's just what I would choose (if I had some money)!

Heavy : Warp Zone (sanded)
Medium Heavy: Nemesis (when I get it this week)
Medium: Ultimate Inferno (might add polish)
Medium Dry: Cuda 2000 (will test after the fingers are redrilled)
Dry: Optyx Spider (need to replace)

LOL, yeah, I was wondering why the UI was in that spot too.  I also thought the Nemesis could go in the Medium spot? I dunno.

I would suggest the following, based on what I have seen recently:

Heavy - Brunswick Goliath (or, for real floods, Swamp Monster)
Medium Heavy Carrydown - Track Rule
Medium - Triple xxx
Medium Light - Power Groove Reactive (with a good drilling)
Light - Barbed Wire (or XXL from Lane 1 if really fried!)

BUT!!! I would say it depends on your stats, and the skill of your ball driller. The power grooves seem to be stronger than just a light oil ball, but that does seem to depend on drilling.

Reality Is.......Working out how to carry the 10, only to start leaving the 7.

well, i would suggest lessons, but since you asked for an arsenal (which i think you just asked for a few months ago), here it goes:

Heavy: weapon of mass bias drilled 4 x 2 (pin to pap, mb to pap), prolly needs a weighthole

Medium-heavy: Ultimate inferno drilled 5 x 5, pin up, little bit of polish needed.

Medium: flashpoint drilled 5 x 3, weighthole on pap

light-sonic x pearl: 6 1/2 put cg in grip center, pin up

Should cover anything you are going to see, I might throw in a ball inbetween sonic x and flashpoint, but thats about the only place i see open.

If I could take lessons, I would! I want to really badly. There just isnt anywhere around here to do so. And yea, I asked about setting an arsenal up a bunch of times, just never did it.

The Xcel particle 14# has a differential of 0.075!  With that high of a differential (and if you track high), you could probably track the whole ball...I think it would be a great heavy oil ball to try out.  

A great mid-price heavy oil ball is the Goliath.  

IMHO, I'd choose one company and stick with it to help avoid any overlapping.  Track and Brunswick appeal to me; however, if I were you, I'd go with a company that fits your style well.  Some people match up a lot better to some companies than others.  A lot of companies have a variety of balls that will cover most of the lane conditions so whichever you choose, I'm sure you'll have a great selection and you'll be happy with what you end up getting.  Just my $5.00

*SCREAMS* AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! So many people are telling me different things. Now Im hearing I SHOULD go all one company, some say I shouldnt. I think if I go all one company its gonna be Brunswick now. After closer review they have a lot of stuff that is appealing to me. So, I guess you should set me up a Big B arsenal then! As long as it includes an intense and chrome yellow power groove.

If Big B is what you'd like:

Heavy - Goliath / Ultimate Inferno
Med-Heavy/carrydown - Nemesis / Original Inferno
Medium - Original Inferno / Intense Inferno
Medium/Light - Punisher
Light - Highly polished Chrome Yellow Power Groove

Good luck!

I have shot great third games with the UI if I throw it hard enough but with pain in my lower palm and wrist I need to cut down my speed, that's where the polish comes to play.

If you go all brunswick, get a wmb for heavy, as this is the best heavy ball out right now, and it has a brunswick cover. heres your brunswick arsenal:
WMB drilled 4 x 2
ultimate drilled 4 by 4
nemesis drilled 5 by 5
punisher drilled 4.5 by 3
and i still think you should get a sonic x pearl drilled 6 by whatever, pin in grip center, otherwise, powergroove, although i think it's too strong personally.
