hey storm, how does the hy-road perform on mid - oily lanes? drill it up strong for arching line

**polarak** · 06-10-2009, 12:06 AM

Thanks storm for the link

I actually saw tt earlier this afternoon. But like that means no difference? Sorry i'm asking lots of newbie questions . But does dis means thats a entry level reactive balls can be drilled to act like the reactive balls for oily lanes? Or does it just means that every ball can be drilled to suit my playing style? Oh no i am digressing to drilling. Should i open a new thread for this? ps newbie here both in forums and bowling .

every ball made has got its specific condition to play for,its just a matter of matching up the ball with the right lane condition

Twisted Fury line is a bit hard to find now. Personally, I think that for spinners, any reactive ball is good as a start. It's only when you get sensitive to lane conditions (I'm still not), then you need to test out balls to see which suits you.

Yeap.. Good choice.. Before the TF Solid, I was using a Black Widow. Now, I keep the BW for when I think my hand is too tired to handle the TF Solid, since the TF Solid is 12 lbs.. The BW is 11 lbs. But I'm going to condition my hand to 12 lbs, and I think it's unlikely for me to drop back to 11 lbs.

Spinners use a lot of wrist movement. Spinning with a heavy ball can injure your wrist, that's why spinners now mostly use 12 lbs. The highest I've heard of a spinner using was 13 lbs, and that was years ago..

Hi currently I am having my first ball with Hammer Vibe Onyx, 13lbs, drilled #2. The problem I have is less total hook. my I am thinking of getting aonther ball with much controllable hook. Any recommendation on the ball selection & drilling layout?

**123seeyah** · 12-10-2009, 10:10 AM

Hi bowlers.. I need help in choosing my next arsenal.. Im considering a good med dry to med oil ball to replace my Brunswick Mighty Zone.. Some of my choices are Storm Fast, Roto Grip Nomad Pearl, Storm Reign and Hammer Burn..

Current Arsenal :
Virtual Energy - drilled Leverage
Mighty Zone - (1st ball so i dont know how it was drilled) 2 1/2 " from PAP - be replacing it so it doesn't matter

Bowler Type :
Speed : 16~17 mph
Rev : 220~250 rpm

or any ball that you might suggest or layout to use based on my arsenal? thanks

lay out suggestion : putting the cg 45degrees from your center grip,put your pin at center of grip,balance hole 6 3/4" from pin

ball suggestion: something in the lower range of various companies why not consider the freeze from columbia?momentum cover with messenger core
storm uses modified core from messenger in their street rods and fast & furious

sounds like RICO layout to me

as for columbia, i don't usually see PRO shops around my area selling columbia stuffs.. upon further reading im leaning more towards the Storm Fast as it fits the dry condition too.. but im still gathering thoughts.. im kinda considering RG Cell Pearl too but i think it'll react close to my Virtual Energy..

**zhikang** · 12-10-2009, 07:19 PM

hmmm dry balls ah... why not try the Brunswick Avalanche? I'm using one, drill it up strong and it's quite snappy on drier conditions.hits hard

**King4hao** · 12-10-2009, 08:09 PM

If you like the roll of your brunswick,
which seem to roll earlier,
then maybe you can try Hammer Onyx Vibe.
Mars is pretty decent,angular enough,
yet not too skid snap
maybe tell us how you prefer to play. Straight up or big swing

**samltk1977** · 12-10-2009, 09:28 PM

Hammer psycho or burn will be a nice choice too, I use my psycho when the lanes are drier tho hehehe

**holychef** · 02-11-2009, 09:54 PM

Hi, I am an amateur bowler here. Currently using the Columbia Scout Reactive bowling ball. It is quite damaged and it is about 1 year old. I am currently thinking of getting a new ball. Does anyone have any balls to recommend? I usually play at safra mount faber and civil service center. So, does anyone have any recommendations for balls that can hook well and the area? A drilling layout will help too. Also, I am still a student, so I do not have much budget, my budget will be about S$180~. Thanks!
