FOR YOU....what is the.....
« on: February 13, 2006, 06:07:39 AM »
first Track ball you grab out of the bag for league, and what is the first ball you grab out of the bag for tournaments?

FOR ME the first ball I grab during league is the Heat Blast. Over the last couple of weeks that ball and I have developed an extreme love affair . It just works on any lane condition that face.

The tournaments I have bowled recently were not super demanding conditions, but the ball I have used almost exclusively during those tournaments has been the Blue Heat. Remember, if you read my review I altered the surface a bit adding a touch of Magic Shine. If I start with it and the midlane starts to go I can grab the Blast and play the exact same line.

Before they build the new house where the old house used to stand, it was a urethane Ultimate Weapon. Right, there's was almost no oil. Now, I have no clue, but I'm leaning towards my Big Block Diesel or Particle Pearl Diesel.

I haven't been to a tournament in a while, but I will be going to Regional Pepsi for youth on March 25. First ball out will be my The One or V2 Sanded.

I usually pull out my Doom as the first out of the bag.  I use this to see if there is heavy oil.  If this ball skids too long then I know there is a good amount of oil on the lanes.  

The second ball I pull out if the lanes are on the heavy side is the Aggressive.  I use this ball too try and read the pattern.

So I use two balls for lane reading.

Now which ball do I use when the lights go on all depends on what the lanes are like.

For league I will pull out whatever happens to be sitting in a certain spot in my bag.  It varies.  I can read our house shot with whatever I have.  For tournaments, I will almost always start with my Roto-Grip Epic.  I play a line I am comfortable with, and I will either move or bag it based on the reaction I get.  If at all possible I will move with the Epic, because I don't have anything else that reads the lane as good, or hits as good.

I go with either my Polished SCB or Enriched Uranium for league, while a tourney would create the choice of Pearl Uranium or Tsunami.

The Action Packed.
I am guessing this reaction will almost be duplicated by the new arsenal artillery
