I need a suggestion on a serious backend ball.
« on: December 02, 2005, 01:31:09 AM »
I'm looking to buy my last ball for the year and i am looking for one with serious backend (somewhat of a snap). You could also say I'm looking for one that is the most aggressive.

With zero knowledge of how you throw the ball or on what lane conditions you intend to use it, I'll still offer the following:
Vendetta Black Solid, drilled with pin 3 1/2 - 4 " from PAP, 1 - 2 " above fingers, cg 3 1/2 - 4 " from PAP, at or just above mid grip line, balance hole on PAP.  I've set a couple of these up like this and they turn very hard once they flip.  I've also set up a couple with the pin above fingers, cg in mid grip, and got a strong, arcing reaction.
Wish you luck with whatever you decide to go with.

Storm Fired Up has a ton of back-end.  Mine is drilled up 5.5" (pin over bridge) with the CG swung slightly right, which puts the MB about 2" right of the thumb.  This ball glides easily through the heads and makes a sharp left turn when it hits the dry.  The Paradigm would be a good choice also, it seems a bit stronger overall, and appears to give a nice mid lane read.

I've been lucky long enough...now I'd like to get good.

xxhuyxx,

Without some idea of how you throw the ball AND some idea of what oil pattern/amount for which you want this ball, few people can make a safe and valid suggestion for such a ball. There are 49 or 80 skid/flip and/or strong backend balls currently available.

One of my favorites for backend is the Track Rule. I don't own one (yet), but my teammate who's style is almost identical to my own, has thrown it along with the Freak-A-Zoid and they both have serious backend.
