What is working good in your arsenal?
« on: November 30, 2016, 08:40:03 AM »
I am just curious to see what balls are working the best for everyone. For me, currently what is working is my  --LOCK--. Most of the time this ball gives me the most consistent ball reaction. If I do need to change balls, the other main 3 that I use that are working very well (depending on the lane condition of course) are the   -- Snap Lock  -- Wreck-it  -- and Defiant Soul. For the lane conditions I am seeing at this time, I can definitely say that with this arsenal, it's getting the job done!

Depends on which house.  On the synthetic house, the Storm Snap Lock is my go to, but at my old wood house, it's the Storm Ride.

Fire Pearl Quantum has been money for me. 2 honor scores (300 in league and 802 in State Senior Tournament) and a couple of near misses (799 and 299 on separate nights) since starting with that ball. I haven't had this much confidence in a ball in a LONG time.

He's been right on every ball recommendation for me personally for years here. I'm going to punch up one of these to clear out space from all of the 4-5 year old equipment I'm throwing.

Old school here. I never retire a ball unless it cracks like a walnut. Our house shot is 39' to 40' med to light oil. I use a Roto-Grip Top Fuel at 4000 lightly polished. When lane starts to blow out, I change to a G-R Sonic Boom at 2000 polished. No one is bitching at me, so I guess both balls are working well.

Ebonite Gamebreaker 2 -
Roto Grip No Rules
Track 503T
Ebonite Mission unkown (red)
Roto Grip Hyper Cell-Skid
Roto Grip Hectic
Hammer spare ball

spare ball has started to crack so ive ordered a white dot off of bowlingball.com and it will replace teh hammer.

Hectic was meant to be the weakest ball in the bag. But based on the drill pattern that we used it hooks more downlane than any ball i have. But it is also the only ball without the Turbo switchgrips and the feel of it is off just a little so it doesnt get used a ton. I will likely replace it with another hectic soon but put the switchgrip in it.

I dont get to use the GB2 often as it is just too much ball for a house shot much of the time.

No Rules i can use if their a little juicier than normal or when we are bowling against people that are more beginner types and throwing urethane and plastic everywhere.

my go to's are the Mission unkown and Hyper Cell-Skid

Skid is a little stronger on the back than the Unknown. It makes for a fairly easy transition if i'm looking at it correct and not fighting it.

You release the ball chest high now.  To get more loft, do you release it like an NBA player shooting free throws?
