Arsenal Help for ABT
« on: October 15, 2006, 04:53:08 AM »
Hello fellow Trackers!

I want to start bowling ABT tournaments soon.  After almost of year of comparing brands that suit me and considering priceerformance:longevity ratios, I've decided to stick with Track.  My Equation has done nothing but save the day whenever my Black Widow or Pain aren't giving me what I want.  I've tried Storm and liked it, but too pricey.  Brunswick and Columbia didn't impress me much.  I liked Ebonite a lot, but I'm scared that their covers will die on me after 50 games or so.  Track was the only brand that withstood my high standards.  On with the show...

For my 4 ball bag, I was thinking:

Mean Machine
Power Machine
Track Equation (Already have, drilled 4x2)
Spare Ball

Do you guys think that would cover a good spectrum of oil patterns or should I go with something more versatile in place of the power machine?  I was at the Ebonite Demo days yesterday and I loved the One and Infinite one, but due to the low life of Ebonite covers, I'm a little scared to invest in them.  All help would be very much appreciated.

In general, I would say a dulled Inertia or a Robo would be a better choice for a true heavy shot. The Mean, although dull, is still rective and pearl. While it may overall cover as many boards as my Inertias (dulled) do or Robos did....it does it differently, as it rolls much later than either of those 2. If you need soemthing to start up quick, then look at the Robo or dulled Inertia.

If I had to choose a 4 ball arsenal right now, including a spare ball:

Robo or dulled Inertia
Artillery or factory Inertia
Equation
Spare

You know Clint, I was thinking the same exact thing right before I read your post.  If I went with an Inertia for heavy, what would be a good grit to bring it down to? 500?
