Title: Storm Spit fire/ Sure fire
Post by: strikeking on September 26, 2008, 02:37:18 AM
Do either of these balls roll in an arc? If not, can you suggest one that does? I am looking for a dry lane ball that has good length and small hook.

Thank You

if these are the only choices that u r deciding to choose from then i would have to go w/ the spitfire. The pearl coverstock w/ the addition of  4K abralon pad would help and the med flare core would be a good addition. FYI- i don't own one but have through a games worth and it allowed me to go up the boards(my game is the swing shot) on a dry to med condition. Just my 2 cents

Thank You. Your reply is worth much more than 2 cents to me.

NEITHER! The Fire Line is more of a benchmark reaction type line. These balls are best suited for medium conditions.

Shell down to a pearl Street Rod. A lot better suited to handle a lower volume condition. I have a solid that I drilled 6x5 for house shots that I have love for. It's smooth and allows me to stand closer to the dry for once without it jerking through the face. I went with the solid to avoid it squirting on the oil.

Good luck with your decision!

Technically it'd be core down -- the Spit Fire and Street Rod Pearl have the same Reactor coverstock.  But yes, I agree that would be the right choice.

The Tropical was designed for what you seek.

I find it hard to believe that any ball with Reactor on it can be a dry lane ball.

Strikeking, since you dont have a profile and you havent given us any of your bowler statistics (i.e. revs, speed, preferred style of play) it is a little more difficult to suggest a ball and layout.
