If you can find one, try to get the Visionary Slate Blue Gargoyle.  Great dry lane ball.

If you're looking for urethane, I'd go with the Liberator from Lane #1. http://lane1bowling.com/balls/liberator.html =:^D

I would look into getting a good urethane ball.   Lane 1 has the Liberator which is a very good urethane ball.  Just make sure you use a length layout with it because like most urethanes they tend to be strong in the mid-lane on dry conditions.


If you can find a Scout High Flare urethane(strawberry/blue color) get it.  A great urethane ball with awesome hitting power.

I'm sure you could also find a Slate Blue which is another good urethane ball.

Balls like the B/G Centaur, Neptune, Lane#1 Bullet and Power Groove Dry/R are better hitting than ANY urethane and will go longer and not roll out on too much dry backends. Most urethanes, especially strong ones like the Liberator, are far too strong and far too early rolling, even polished, than these super mild resins.

The man has spoken i was thinking the same thing earlier when i posted Silver Bullet, I would add weaked drilled jinx or Jolt Pearl they are more of a gamble but cheap enough to be useable if too strong.

See if Gary has any used 3d violet pearls left that you could plug and redrill. The older reactive's do not over react to the newer lane oil's, i averaged 215 a game last summer when i used a pin high 3d violet pearl.

Also killed with a visionary Scorcher NPT, I would just trade weeks of which ball made the trip. The NPT is a mild reactive that does not know the meaning of over reaction.
