Looking for a smooth ball for drier lanes
« on: July 18, 2008, 12:35:21 AM »
Ok. I'm bowling on older synthetics, and as of late the lanes have just had screaming backends. Fairly playable when fresh, but when they start getting blown open, this starts presenting trouble for me. I purchased last year a jolt pearl for dryer conditions. But this ball is way too skid flippy, even after I dulled the surface. The pin is already under bridge, so I'm not sure if redrilling will help.

What I am looking for is something that is going to be smooth on dry backend, toasted up lanes. I really don't care about brand.

Well I don't know what to tell you as far as the lanes being dry, because they rarely have any on them. Thru this summer league I'm in, it's the only ball I can use because it doesn't jump dead left when it hits the dry. Maybe the Resurgence I got was a dud as far as hook potential but I'm not complaining because it's the best ball I've got. My Resurgence turns a nice smooth arc from start to finish. It's the weakest of all the balls I have as far as hook potential & it's because it doesn't have a hard backend move. My Momentum I have, was supposed to be weaker than the Resurgence but for me it's about 10-15 boards stronger.
Like I said, I haven't seen anyone else throw this ball so I don't know if all are like mine or if mine is 1 that fell thru the cracks. Either way it doesn't matter because I still like the ball.
