Needing a Medium to Medium-Light Ball
« on: September 30, 2005, 02:47:16 AM »
I have a Vertigo and a DC and am looking for a ball for medium to medium-light conditions with a strong backend. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The hot rod Hybrid seems to fit that bill pretty well. It gets pretty good length and gives a nice turn on the backend. If you're looking for really light conditions, one of the new Tropical Storms might be what you're looking for.

I think that a Hot Rod Pro Stock Pearl is the best Storm choice.  I've talked to a few people that like that ball better than the Hybrid.  The new Tropical Storms might fit the bill as well, but I think they're more for desert conditions. I have a 16# Pro Stock Pearl that's done very well for me.

By far, the best Med/Med-Light oil ball ON THE MARKET right now is the STORM SCREAMIN' BANSHEE. I absoloutely love this ball and can't say enough about it.

I bowled today a best 2 of 3 match against a local pro (who is on the Senior PBA Tour and averages over 230). I challenged him to a match wagering that if I were to win, all of my 17 games that I bowled would be FREE. If I lost, I would pay him $10 extra. Needless to say, he won. LOL. (But I kept it close!) I bowled my Screamin' Banshee, and, to my surprise, HE ALSO bowled a Screamin' Banshee. It was the battle of the banshees!!

Anyway, back to the point, the Screamin' Banshee has increased my average by at least 10-15 pins, and my confidence by 100%. Phenominal ball.

It's fickle and precise, not to mention that the equipment is especially important.
I've been known to break golf clubs and throw them in lakes to take out my frustration...
Do you think I'd get in trouble if I chucked my X-Factor through the pro shop window?

Trying to decide between the Fired Up and the Screamin' Banshee. I would like to know the pros and cons of both of them.

For what you have described, pick from the Hybrid or Screamin' Banshee.
