Best Ball for Burned Lanes
« on: March 08, 2016, 07:09:45 AM »
Short of plastic and Urethane what is your best dry lane ball.  I have an old Desert Heat from Track and was looking for a ball that hooks even less.

I would suggest a Radical Rack Attack Pearl or a Brunswick Strike King which have a pearl cover that would skid down the lane better when the lanes start to dry out. Another good choice would be the Brunswick Vintage Gold Rhino Pro which would give you a little more reaction down lane.

A Motiv tag would be a really good choice

I have a NIB 15lb Slingshot and a <5 game 15lb Slingshot. Doesn't get much weaker than these on burn. PM me if interested.

I'm very rev dominate and mostly throw straighter equipment. Having said that I have a Brunswick Strike King, which has great length but is super flippy. My current favorite is a Roto-Grip Loco solid, pretty straight and easy to get length out of.

Rack Attacks. Predictable and great ball, best bang for your buck out there IMO.

I have a teammate in one of my scratch leagues with big hand. The house we bowl has a short dry pattern and even his Motiv Ascent was too much. So after some research, I bought him a Storm Ride and it works perfectly. It's a weak reactive cover with a high rg, low diff core. You can still find them for less than $100 shipped.

The weakest reactive I have ever thrown is the Lane #1 Bullet...actually I use it as my spare ball on those occasions that I need one. Very mild..and there happens to be a 15 pounder on ebay  at the moment.

None of the balls mentioned will be weaker than a Desert Heat.

I love my Desert Heart.  How about the Sling Shot.  I read a lot of good things about that ball.  Would it be equall or stronger.

Slingshot will be close.  PK17 vs. Superflex cover with similar cores.

For me it is the Hooligan Taunt.  It has enough of a core to roll and shape up properly, yet unlike most weaker balls it is not sensitive to wet/dry.

I used a slingshot drilled fairly strong for quite a few years and liked it for playing tight to the oil line

My personal opinion is that plastic/urethane anywhere inside of 2 arrow is like begging to leave buckets and weak 10's.
