Opinions please?
« on: September 16, 2005, 04:50:09 AM »
I'm thinking of building an all Track arsenal. I've done a little research and gotten a few opinions and have come up with this:

Medium/Light - Heat
Medium - Freak-A-Zoid
Medium/Heavy - Slash
Heavy - Rule GP2

I guess I would ask for them to be drilled as strong as possible to help me with my lower rev rate. For a low rev, medium speed and high track player does this sound ok?

Thanks, Andrew

I think I'd go with something a bit stronger than the Slash for Med/Heavy. I think I'd set up something like this (*NOTE* just going off other people throwing this stuff):

Light/Med = Heat
Medium = Freak-A-Zoid
Med/Heavy = Xception 5.0
Heavy = Rule GP2

You might also be able to drop the Delta 1 in place of the 5.0, but I've only seen it thrown once for about 5 frames...by a Track regional Staffer last night. It was hooking WAY too hard, so he switched to his Heat! Hope this helps any...

Must have an Arsenal Reactive in there....:-)

Ball is simply amazing and can handle such a variety of conditions....

My suggestion...

Rule GP2 - For the Soup
Med Heavy to Med Light...Arsenal Reactive..yes it is that versatile...
Skid/Snap.....Xception or Delta 1
Light....Desert Heat...

Just my 2 cents.."-)

All this can be yours............

I like srlunatic's idea. For greater differential between the FAZ the next ball, the Arsenal Reactive seems like a good idea.

The GP2 is probably excellent at the top and the Heat is hard to beat.

Hey Andy,

 
quote:
Medium/Light - Heat
Medium - Freak-A-Zoid
Medium/Heavy - Slash
Heavy - Rule GP2


I'd suggest the following:

Heavy - GP2
Med Heavy - Rule Delta 1 or Arsenal Reactive
Med Med - Arsenal Angular or Xception 5.0
Med - FreakaZoid
Med Dry - Heat
Dry - Desert Heat (must have)

I'm focusing more on some stronger equipment for you based on your description of having lower revs.  I always advise to bowlers to have more strength then not enough.  It usually is a little easier to move or not lift as hard to get a desired (or needed) reaction vs having to try and use muscle or physical effort to achieve that reaction.
