New Released Balls, help pick two
« on: July 28, 2008, 10:06:07 AM »
So if you had to pick two balls out of the new releases from any of the company's, what would you pick and why?

Hey Johnny-Six-pack,

As I said, if you've got oil, thank God, get a couple of oilers and have fun.
I've got 2 basic finishes on my balls: polish and 4000 grit Abralon/White Cerium oxide Trizact pad.

Maybe I should move to Kansas I like windy days .... (Tornados? not that windy, however.)

But in some of the centers in OKC, yeah, there is a lot of oil at some of them. Enough that I can take a mid-heavy to heavy oiler and use them at most centers here...and you know I have a heavy hand and speed as well.

That being said.....two balls to pick from and use here, Chris? The Street Rods would be usable at most every center here I think. Why, because both showed extreme veratility at the Open House at Heritage on the THS, the Viper and the Chameleon
 


Hey Mike, I am beginning to question my ability to recognize what is medium oil and heavier or heavy oil. I tell everyone I bowl on medium oil and never see heavier or heavy oil and in the meanwhile, I keep seeing you, Six and Chris post about the heavier oil here. Maybe my inability to recoginize heavier or heavy oil of today and call it medium oil is because of back when Richard Altman owned and ran Blvd. Bowl, the oil he put down WAS heavy oil without a doubt. The oil of today here when comparing how Altman oiled the lanes causes me to refer to it as medium oil.

Then again, I think maybe you guys play thru the oil out to the break point, whereas I play in the oil but along the outer edge of the oil line because of my inability to get the ball to turn back because of my low revs.

I do know that Donnie says Heritage puts down more oil than other centers and almost all of my bowling is done at Heritage anymore because of the equipment at Blvd Bowl constantly marking up and destroying balls has caused me not to go there anymore.

Once again Chris, I appoligize for hi-jacking your tread, but I think both Six and Mike have answered your question of what 2 balls to get because they both know bowling balls better than many people and both recommended the same thing.

Six,

If it isn't a marble, then you're not on the East Coast!!!  2000 grit and better over here! (unless you like to loft )

Hell, move out to western Oklahoma. With 3/4 of the calender year having wind, at least here you get to see some trees as opposed to Kansas. Sorry you Jayhawk/Wildcat fans! lol

I have talked to Vernon....I know all about how you guys have to polish and prep your ball surface up there.

Don't know how long the others have been sportin' a 'chrome dome', but I've been maintainin' mine for many years!!!  Always kept a low fade and decided to extend my shaving session one morning many years ago.  Been smoothe as a baby bottom ever since

One word of advice, do not let your girl/mistress/wife/escort etc. shave your head... LMAO

So went to pro shop last night and talked to Anne Marie,  actually recommended the Twisted Fury Solid and the Smash Zone to go with it, so we drilled them up last night.  The Smash Zone is really a good looking ball.

I'm definitely going to pick the Smash Zone because I like the ball motion of Ultra Zone, but want it to below that ball.

I'm thinking about getting the Copperhead because I need something that is going to be controllable on the oil

And some of you guys were worried about hijacking the thread.  I shoulda knew there was a 60% chance he would not use any of the advice given.  Freakin Leftwich.

Brickguy,

Compared to what I was used to seeing in the Houston area most all of my life, the centers in OKC are flooded.  Some of you have seen me bowl.  Now you tell me??  I could use my used original Fury, standing around 25 looking anywhere from 12 to 15 and end up right of there at the end of the night.  On wood at Blvd.  I will never be confused as being a flame thrower or having a weak release, but you do the math, that Fury was one of the most hooking balls I had ever owned.  There was some serious jizz in the middle of the lane there.  Heritage was only slightly flatter.  Yukon was about the same as Edmond.  I went to Holiday a few months back, and everybody telling me they scorch over there.  I ended up right of 25 with my feet, wishing I had more ball.  Think I threw my Special Agent all EIGHT games.  They got earl around this here place!

Amen to that Mike...I too kept telling myself that he wasn't going to listen to anyone which is usually his trait, and that he was going to buy what Anne Marie told him to buy. And then he will keep them what????....2 weeks at the most maybe and then sell them and go buy 2 more balls.

When you and Six slap him up along the side of the head, give him a couple extras next time.
