Green light for new ball for Xmas

[Kudu22]

I asked for a new ball for Christmas. I am wanting something to take over for my Modern Marvel and also more for medium to light heavy oil. Right now I have Deep Purple Taboo( favorite ball), Marvel Pearl, Modern Marvel, 2 Furious, Game On (never used any more). I am torn between the JB Taboo that I have seen thrown a lot and I really like the purple Taboo but the DV8 Marauder has my attention as a hybrid ball. I am a stroker and live on 10 board and outside. Up and in is my style with medium revs and slower ball speed. I get to pick one so what one should I ink in for my wish list?

id go with the marauder and i am a hammer fan but i hear way to much good stuff about it

[Kudu22]

That is the boat I am in. I was set on the JBT but the buzz on the Marauder has turned my attention to it. I haven't seen it thrown personally.

When do you use your Modern Marvel?

I don't think that ball technology is getting better so you can probably find a good deal on a year or two old ball that will be really good. Get a pearl!

but but but hes not paying for it! lol

I LOVE my marauder, its a great ball to have, I'm surprised you can play so straight with the deep purple, the marauder isn't as strong and as such won't hook quite as much. Its a great ball.

what oil conditions do you bowl on? can you keep using the taboo when the lanes break down? if so, how far left do you move?

[striker12]

well the marauder is a good ball but i can say this if you could get your hands on a hy-road or prodigy thats a perfect ball that works great i have used one of my buddys prodigy and i was going right up 10 and it was hitting the pocket like a truck.


only thing prodigy is retired so hope you can find one im still looking for one for myself but if i cant im going to get the hy-road

lockwood i just move 1-3 boards left every night lol

[Kudu22]

I move at most 4 boards with my feet left and 2 with my eyes all 3 games. It all depends what condition the lanes are in from the beginning and what pattern we have. Lately for the past few weeks the oil has been really close to the edge of the 5 board and that has been eating up a lot of people with the big hooks. They can't bring it back. Me...right up the 5 board and arch it in. Been crushing it for the team and carrying us lately. If it is light oil since they didn't oil before league I get beat down with most of my balls. The Modern Marvel is what gets played then.

For medium to light heavy you would actually want the Marauder Madness. The original Marauder is a medium oil ball. Both are very good balls. I've used my Marauder on all conditions so far and it works well with a few boards of adjustment. When that thing sees friction it turns and goes.

I have a marauder. Hits like a truck. Play down and in around 7 or 8 on Medium Oil. Medium revs @ approx. 16.5 MPH

[MICHAEL]

I have had 3 700 plus scores with the Red Marauder! I also have the New One Madness! It’s a fantastic ball also, but more aggressive a bunch on heavier oil! I can use both on house oil, and they are my go to balls, now!

My account got messed up with some sort of Mobil view and can not for the life of me change it back. Anyways last night I did a major fubar and was having a whiskey or 2 watching the game and found a Taboo on eBay drilled once ending in a few minutes. I thought hey get the Jet Black Taboo for a great price and get the Marauder for Christmas. I won it for $36. My bubbly calls and tells me it is not a JB Taboo but it is a original Taboo that looks like a JB but if you real close you can see the blue and purple in it. Oh did I cause up a storm. I paid for it and it will be here next Monday. Drinking and ebay didn't mix well for me.

LOL, yeah trust me, the only thing you should spend money on while indulging in alcohol is more alcohol... and maybe some take-out later. :) Other than that, keep your credit cards safely hidden. :D

My fiance just got the prodigy in august nib from a guy locally who used to own a pro shop... She throws straight up ten and doesnt do all that bad with it. A buddy of mine thrown it a few times and loves it.

Btw I love my marauder ... my second six came with this ball...
