Title: Motiv balls
Post by: J_w73 on January 06, 2015, 05:37:36 PM: What 6 Motiv balls do you carry? For super heavy / Long to super dry / Short.

Post by: milorafferty on January 06, 2015, 06:01:34 PM: I use a Sigma Hybrid @ 1000 for true heavy oil.
Sigma Sting @ 2000 for most sport shots that are medium length
Sigma Sting @ 2000 + polish for most THS shots
Venon Shock if the polished Sting and sanded Sting aren't quite right and I really want to stay on the Big Dot. :)
Tribal at box finish when I need to move in with some burn on THS and shorter sport shots
Accent Apex if the lanes are dry.

I don't carry all of these all the time though. Usually the Polished Sting, Venom Shock and Tribal for house shots plus a sniper for spares.

I have the Forza which looks like it might need a spot, but not sure where yet.

Tribal for when the pattern breaks down and is great for him. If things get really broken he pulls out a QZ2. He will be adding primal rage by the weekend for longer/heavier.

For heavy patterns he currently uses a Ruckus Feud.

It's a monster. The only way I could use mine was polished but it carried like nobody's business if there was enough oil

My son had one at 13#. Used it mainly for sport shot tournaments. Didn't often need it but it was nice for him to have something that strong. I saw its utility although I think he was not as high on it. Mainly because it reads early and he prefers more movement on the back end. But it did very well for him in heavy conditions.

What ball can handle more oil? The Jackal or Raptor Talon ?? Or is there another ball?
