Title: If you could
Post by: 3M Dust Remover on April 08, 2008, 12:31:23 PM: If you could only bring 4 balls (not including your spare, or including it)to tournaments, what would they be? List your dream setup or even the one you have if you like it! List the ball and intended condition. I know for sure i would have my Cell in the bag!

Post by: tenpin477 on April 08, 2008, 08:37:52 PM: Does it have to be stuff we have, or A dream 4 Ball Arsenal.

The Cell drilled strong
The Gamebreaker drilled weaker
A weakly drilled Columbia 300 Icon2
A very weakly drilled Ebonite Bash
A Rubber Spare Ball because Plastic hooks too much.

Thats a dream arsenal, and I have the Gamebreaker and the Bash now and I love them both, but I wish I could find an Icon2 again, I used to love that ball.

Post by: dizzyfugu on April 09, 2008, 10:15:26 AM: From the equipment I have, my tournament arsenal currently comprises:

Spares:
Ice Storm OOB, label drilling

Medium-dry to dry, short oil:
Slate BLue Gargoyle, stacked leverage, OOB

Medium to medium-dry, later games with brunt track area:
Revolution Renegade, 2.000 Abralon + polish, 4.5"x5" stacked, pin above fingers

Medium-oily to oily, fresh lanes
Frankie May Gryphon, 2.000 Abralon sheen, 4.5"x4.5" stacked, pin under fingers

Oily shots/long oil:
Fuze Eliminator, 1.500 matte, 4"x3", pin under fingers

Very versatile, not really flashy but work well and has very complementary reactions. I miss a bit a pearl reactive, but the Renegade perfectly fills teh gap between FMG and SBG that I stick with it.
Basically, I'd only drill the SBG a bit weaker, but I guess that future replacements will be close to the candidates above with similar setups to copy their reaction shapes. Heavy oil ball will surely be a solid light load particle again - the Eliminator is hard to replace.
