Stick with urethane or move to a stronger cover
« on: October 11, 2015, 09:06:20 PM »
So the last few weeks I have exclusively thrown urethane in league. I have been throwing an OG Natural and a Super Natural. A brief about my bowling right now is I am lower speed rev dominant. Speed is around 16 and the deck and revs are plenty but unknown actual number.

I usually start with the natural and move to the super natural later in the set when I need slightly more length and more pop.

Now I have had GREAT success with these 2 balls in the house I bowl in. But occasionally I struggle getting the ball to tip on the back end and cant move far enough left to get the 7 pin out (lh).

So my question is this. If I wanted to go with a 3rd ball should I go with something that has more cover (weak reactive) or go with another urethane and drill stronger?

Other balls I have tried without success. Motiv recon, tag, primal impulse, storm hyroad, IQ tour pearl, and Gravity shift. All of these are way too much off the spot for me if I venture inside with them I struggle with accuracy and would prefer to stay further left.

For about a month now, I have had a Teal Wilson Prostaff ball in my league bag---Early 90's Urethane with a lightbulb core. I put a "250 degree strong backend" drilling on the ball found here

With this drilling I get more length than Urethane will typically want to give you, and I get a more angular break point than I would get out of Urethane with a more "conventional" drilling.

Try a black/cherry Tropical Breeze Hybrid with a strong drilling,  with a high RG, but a lower diff, you will be able to stay left and make gradual moves right.

Its a slight step up from the Natural series.

I have looked at the Roto grip loco. But there isn't much at all video wise to see what it might do.
