Dry lane ball...
« on: August 15, 2003, 09:27:31 AM »
I am in need of a ball for drier conditions and was looking at a Wild or a Sonic X. Whats the difference between the two?? I would assume the Wild is a stronger ball, although drill dependant. Also, what other balls do you recommend for drier conditions??

How am I supposed to knock all 10 down with one ball?!?

I have heard the V2 dry is supposed to be real good for dry.

I have had my most success to date on dry lanes. 4 pins under avg this summer. normally I drop 15 pins or so on anything less than a light oil shot.

I drilled up a Blade Pearl. polished the heck out of it. I drilled it with 135deg layout. pin above bridge.

I avoided a weight hole, which would have been on the flair side of the ball, by getting a low top wt and drilling the fingers deep.

IM me with your email and I can send you a pic.

I was able to get the ball through the heads and mid lane before the backend reaction kicked in. I played 3rd or 4th arrow out to 5 on dry up lanes. i still had to keep the speed up but when I didn't the ball would really hook set and would still stay on the pocket side. In 4 weeks I never have an errand shot bounce and go Brooklyn.


as for the wild and sonic x. I would pick the sonic over the wild becuse the core is more dynamic and gives you more layout choices.
