something for wet/dry
« on: September 15, 2006, 04:57:20 PM »
I've recently returned to bowling and the center I bowl in had a long wet/dry pattern. 37ft with "screaming backend" My equipment is too strong for this type of shot. Any suggestions? My specs and arsenal are in my profile. To put in perspective, my Flash Point is too strong to use for 3 games! Thanks in advance.

I really like what I see with Jolt Solid.  I have a Razor Wire with the pin 2 1/2 to the PAP and 800 sanded finish that brutalizes wet/drys.  The Jolt Solid or Fired Up with a control type drilling would be awesome.  Also if the volume is heavier a discontinued Raging Banshee may do the trick as well.

My tour power is too strong for this pattern, it burns up too fast.

I'm thinking of a Tropical Storm drilled pretty strong and it will fit between my Tour Power (Polished) and my pearl beast...

polished passion works well on wet dry, mine is at storm #2 and it skids and turns hard when it hits the dry

The Jolt Pearl is very smooth throughout the lane. It doesnt read friction as hard as the Jolt Solid and even the Tropicals. The Accu-Tread cover allows it to roll more than jerk

Jeff,
So the Jolt Pearl will be more controllable than a similarly drilled Tropical?
Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure how "wet" the wet/dry may be. I'm becominig more confident through experience and the advice of friends, that it's the length of the pattern that is the problem. I believe it's shorter than what
I used to. That's the reason I'm leaninng towards a ball like the Tropical Storm and drilling it "strong" maybe even stacked leverage. Any ideas, even other ball companies. IIRC, didn't Columbia make the best equipment for length a few years back? Also, didn't bowlers have a lot of success with their "Groove" line??? Thanks all.

Columbia has the Scout series which is good and Brunswick has the Power Groove which is also good.

Just a tip...  If you drill the Tropical strong it may be a monster.  Some people have said that they thought the Tropical was stronger than advertised to begin with.
