Medium Heavy Ball needed
« on: March 24, 2006, 02:28:35 PM »
Okay guys i want a new ball, and on our typical league shot its a pretty heavy shot, i want a ball that on heavier oil can move, a more of a skid snap type of ball for a guy with above average speed and lower revs, now i will consider balls outside of storm but this is on the storm site for a reason

Okay and the other thing i am considering a Diablo, would this work with lower revs a faster ball speed and i'm a pretty high tracker too, well i'm open to suggestions so please post em', thanks inadvance guys

These parameters (heavier oil + skid/snap reaction) are contradictory for a person with low revs and higher ball speed. The best you can do is to try to maximize length by placing the pin a bit higher (approx 3" above the midline) while keeping the pin in the 3.5-4" range of distance from your PAP, in order to keep the ball's reaction strong. The CG or the MB/PSA should also be in that same strong position. Then modify the surface as needed.

You might get some degree of a strong backend from a Vertigo because it's a resin while you'd get less from the Trifecta because it's a particle, bu tit will handle more oil.

Brunswick STrike Zone is strong resin mass bias ball; it handles a good deal of oil but is not snappy (neither is Vertigo or Trifecta).

Track Delta1 handles a lot of oil and can be flippy for certain releases. It may be the closest you'll get for your desires.
