I need a heavy heavy oil ball...
« on: September 05, 2014, 09:03:51 PM »
Can someone please recommend a really good ball for when they are super heavy? I have tried everything and nothing wants to move all...straight as an arrow not matter where I move or what line I try...so far I have tried a deadly aim sanded to 500, crazy antics at 1000, widow assassin at box, original dude at 2000 and a vibe envy at 360...I have medium rev...

Was looking at a...cruel intent, original mastermind or a marvel s

With those outrageously low grits, you make me wonder if you are seeing much lighter oil than you think you are and the balls are burning up.

The Hyper Cell is a particle ball, one of the most aggressive balls on the market right now. If you're truly seeing heavy oil, drill it for an early roll with pin and PSA set for that (2.5" pin-PAP, short Drill angle, like 25-30 degrees) and sand it to 500 grit. If  that ball doesn't hook, drop your ball speed down to 15 mph or take up needlepoint.

I would say Mastermind , Ruckus Feud or Hyper Cell. If you cant get those to move something is wrong.

Go To BOWLERSCELLAR.COM    and grab yourself a visionary centaur amb particle bowling ball...they still have 14 pounders available. The most aggressive "reactive" bowling ball ever. I had one and a teammate of mine had one around the time they came out, and that ball is ridiculously strong, that'll get it done.

Of the three you were pondering, my vote would be the original mastermind. It has proven to perform well on heavy oil. Currently that is my go to heavy oil ball. No complaints with it on a lot of oil, but will burn up on light conditions, just like any other heavy oil ball.

My original mastermind is my best scoring ball ever when I see enough oil to throw it (more oil than I am comfortable throwing my primal rage on)

My vote would be a Sinister.  I drilled one up a few days ago and this thing hooks for days, plus it's more angular and continuous than any other heavy oil ball I've seen.  The hit and drive is significantly better.  Where other heavy oil balls may be sluggish and flat on the backend, this one still hooks AND transitions well.

yes...everyone seems to be...the best 2 guys in our league last year that were averaging 220+ are only at 190 and 195 so far...and everyone else is in the 160-180...it seems that some of the guys that throw a straight ball are having the best games so far

Like the others have said, there is the Hyper Cell, Mastermind, and the Ruckus Feud are all solid choices for the soup.  You could even get the Motiv Raptor Talon which is up there in strength too.  A new option that's just coming out is the Seismic Equalizer, which looks really good based on the reaction videos posted.

There was a similar situation last season at the start in my league where the people who would normally play in ran into a ton of problems whereas the outside line worked best.  Turns out there was a problem with the oil machine where it was putting down extra volume than it should have.  Either way, it forced everyone to adjust.

Terminator Juggernaut by Lane Masters, ball is not usable for me in any house in my hometown due to the amount of oil required to keep this ball on the Lane.
