What is your benchmark ball?
« on: September 27, 2016, 08:05:20 AM »
Mine is currently a Pitch black. I actually balled up to a Ride last night  ;D currently wondering where the oil is that allows people to throw mid to low strength equipment!

Night Hawk SE. I can ball down to a Boost or ball up to a Ops or Dream On.

Still the Motiv Sigma Sting.

I think Motiv needs to update the sigma core and give it a strong pearl cover.

Mine is an Arson Hybrid. Liked it when I first got it and then thought it died really quickly. Now that I know better and use quality cleaners, refreshed the coverstock, and have the NuBall it's looking great again.

Brunswick Brute Strength. If I need more backend I go to a Storm Fight or ball down to a Rhino

Just curious, what do you "ball up" to if the Scandal is your benchmark?

Thanks for asking. I was getting a headache with shaking my head at the concept of a Scandal being a "benchmark".

Hy-Road or IQ Tour (both preferably at 2000) serve as great benchmarks for me. Depending on the lane surface and pattern I bowl on dictates which ball would be at a higher surface.
