My arsenal is simple, and seems to work well:

Thing Lives: Flooded Lanes
Phase: Heavy Oil
X Factor Ace: Medium Oil
Flame Reactive: Light Oil/Spares
Phase II: Monster Backend

This arsenal works great for me, the thing lives hooks to much on most condition, it is drilled very storng. My phase is a strange ball, as it really likes to work on fresh oil, but then it works when the shot starts to break down, you just have to adjust a little. My phase two is my most versatile ball by far, and my favorite. X-Factor Ace is to new to judge, but it seems veryb good...

Columbia Ti Traction - Medium to heavy oil, pin 1/2" below ring finger.

Wow.  All you guys with your fancy smancy top of the line new equipment

As far as my arsenal....I dunno, ask the people in the wanted/for sale section.  They bought all of it.

I use my teammate's Big Blue Pearl and a Tour Power now just until I get some cash to scrape up a decent arsenal.  And I'm bowling better than ever, without having my own equipment.

one word OBSESSED...

i though i was bad bringing 3 balls once in a while but who da heck brings 5-6 balls every week. it's just league for goodness sake. i mean i love bringing all the balls i can but i just dont need them.

anywhere from medium-lite to medium heavy= V2 Sanded
lite= V2 Clean
medium (if i feel like using a different ball)= Tornado Lt. Blue/Violet
Heavy(though i've never bowled on it) Ultimate Inferno

and that wraps up all the balls i own pretty much...recommend a V2 Sanded to anyone though it's one of the most versatile balls and can be used on pretty much any conditino minus the extremes..
Title: Re: So what is YOUR aresonal?
Post by: agroves on November 10, 2004, 06:09:29 PM
I have too much equipment right now.

Super Carbide Bomb
Shock Zone Pro
Werewolf
Bone XS
Sledgehammer
Inferno
Ravage
Intense(Friday)
Power Groove
Sonic X pearl
XXXL

I only use the XS and Sledge for league bowling.  Kind of a fun thing throwing the older equipment.  I haven't decided what to do with the Ravage yet.  I just haven't been able to line up with it.  I may have to sell it.

The power groove is probably gone soon.  The Sonic X is a better ball for what I want it for.

i can play on any condition with the 3 balls i have, instead of changing, it make since for me  to stay with the same ball and adjust my line.

amf cold fusion, pin over ring, cg right by ring finger
Columbia reaction REV, pin next to ring, cg under and has an x hole
Brunswick Command Zone, pin above ring, cg kicked right.

I don't need a spare ball as i can flatten mine out well enough.
