Recommend me a ball!

[iamxam]

The only issue is, it has to be a Brunswick ball. The team that I'm on (college) is sponsored by Brunswick therefore the only balls we can use for tournaments are Brunswick balls. I've already got the Marauder in my bag for the long patterns now I'm just looking for something that will be good for the short patterns. Oh, and it must be one of their new releases. I know, picky picky. So yeah, what should I get?

[eugene02]

I suppose short patterns means need dry - med oil ball? Do correct me.. if so.. why not the NEWEST NexXxus P+S. It's meant for medium oil lanes..

It would help if you told how you bowl. Cranker stroker low,med,high revs speed etc.


But I'll throw one out there a:

Brunswick Karma Urethane

Be good for drier and/or shorter patterns. Give a good consistent reaction.

You said you have the marauder but that is DV8...so wont you need another ball also? ...but i would recommend the maxxed out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Znkwd7ZSBQ or the nexxxus f(p+s) like Eugene said http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=audILkAYH38 ....those are if you want to see the brunswick ball reaction videos

The DV8 line is by Brunswick.

Wow, given most of the answers I can tell who has little to no experience on sport patterns. I would recommend the Karma also. I love urethane on short patterns. Another option may be the Misfit although judging by your long oil ball it may be too aggressive on a short pattern for you. How about a Slingshot?

He said it had to be one of their newer releases. The Slingshot may have been around too long.

[Hot_pocket]

Do you know what exact shots you will be on? Kegel Sport or challenge patterns WTBA Short patterns Or PBA Patterns... something i read said balls made for heavy oil are good for shorter patterns because they control the friction by using their energy early. Billf was right about the slingshot it would have been a great choice.

i have 0 experience on sports pattern to be honest.. they don't oil it here ><

[billf]

John, I know the Slingshot has been around awhile but companies are making balls so aggressive now it's hard to stay with just new releases anymore.

[striker12]

well from me the karma urathane would be a good ball for short patterns but what i use is a entry lvl ball soo the slingshot would be another option.

but if u say want something little more agressive then go with the brunswick maxxed out its good for med oiled lanes and jsut need to adjsut alittle for dryer lanes

[Zothen]

After rereading the post,I would strongly suggest looking into the getting the karma urethane and the C-System Maxxed Out for the following reasons.

1)If team event is anything like i've heard Nationals were your going to need 2 balls.

2)Maxxed out if their is oil on the lanes

3)Karma urethane if their is light to no oil on the lanes.
