Heavy to light oil

1. Rotogrip Asylum
2. Seismic Euphoria 2000 abaron finish

Spare ball will be added before league starts also thinking of adding something between the euphoria and asylum even if it means I put the finish back to the original polished

Considering motiv sigma sting or Rotogrip hysteria

Currently I only have 1 bowling ball.
1. Hammer Arson

I am considering getting the Hammer Spike Black/Blue and possibly even a spare ball since I have been having issues picking up my 10 pin on the new synthetic lanes where I bowl. If I do get a spare ball it will either be a Columbia 300 White Dot or a DV8 Just Black Polyester.

16lb Columbia Encounter (less aggressively drilled/higher polish)
16lb Columbia Encounter (more aggressively drilled/500 Abralon/scuffed)
16lb Hammer Rhythm
15lb Storm Frantic
16lb Brunswick Slingshot

That should be my arsenal for the entire Fall/Winter season. However, it's possible that sometime November-February I'll be replacing the Frantic with a 16lb 900 Global Bullet Train. That'll give me a consistent 16lb weight for the remainder of the season and into the Spring/Summer league 2015. Then I have a few 15lb balls that I'm going to have drilled up and see how I like a lighter arsenal.

all man weight:
Black Widow Legend (Skid/Flip, 1000 grit no polish, first game ball)
Black Widow Pearl (Skid/Flip, 3000 grit polish, 2-3 game ball)
Deadly Aim (Skid/Flip, OOB, experimental finger drill, first game ball typically waiting on finger drill to truly test it)
Raw Hammer Jacked (for when i get angry and want to throw two handed, don't use this in league but it's been in my bag since 2009)
WD Spare ball

i usually just use my legend and pearl. they are the perfect 1-2 punch for these 60 year old wood lanes i'm rolling on. depending on how the oil holds up i can roll me legend through the first 2 games and bring out the pearl in game 3. but either way these are my go to balls right now. coming soon to the bag is the BW Venom and BW Sting with experimental drill for my fingers, (ring finger knuckle pain, trying to avoid Sarge Easter drill, going to drill these to use my index and middle finger instead of ring finger)

Storm Vivid
Storm Byte (dulled)
Brunswick LT-48

Will be leading with vivid or byte depending on how practice goes. LT-48 is great for when the lanes are dry!

I'm starting this new season out with the same old
bowling balls that I used for the last season or two
but I will be replacing most if not all of them in the
next few weeks / months.

Starting line up for this fall:
Storm Reign On
Roto Grip Riot
Roto Grip Nomad Pearl
Roto Grip Defiant Edge
DV8 Hellraiser
DV8 Hell Raiser Terror
Ebonite Evolve pin up
Ebonite Evolve pin down

To be replaced with these, at the present time my choices are these but they may change:
DV8 Ruckus Feud
Roto Grip Sinister
Roto Grip Wrecker maybe?????
Storm Optimus
Storm Hy-Road Solid
might go for a Storm Pitch Black maybe?????
Storm IQ Tour Fusion
I will more than likely keep the Storm Reign On in the line up for the next season or two.

Right Now:

Mastermind
Melee Cross
Meanstrak Brawler
LT-48

This is the base. Depending on the weather and the conditions at the particular center, I may change out one or more at any given time. The main thing is that I always carry 1-2 aggressive balls, 1-2 mid rg balls, and 1 high rg ball where ever I go.

The Spike Black/Blue (Titanium?) Has been an extremely popular choice for a bunch of people getting a new ball for league. A friend of mine shot 772 against me on the first night of league. Another buddy decided to throw it the last game of league and shot 250.

Depending on Rev rate and layout, everyone will get different reactions but from what I've seen the ball moves really well off the spot and seems to hit hard and carry well.

I'm recovering from wrist surgery I had March. I made the decision to throw 14# for the entire 2014-2015 season. I was fortunate enough to have a couple 14# balls given to me. So my current arsenal is:

Black Widow Pearl
Defiant Edge

I traded in a 15# Pivot that I won in a ball raffle last season. It had less than 10 games on it, so the pro shop operator said he can give me some money off on a new 14# ball. So, once I get caught up on my bills I'll have a new Hyper Cell.

Meanstreak Brawler
DV8 Misfit (orange/blue)
SLinsghot(red/orange)
spare ball.


I may not get much use out of the misfit and slingshot this year. The alley bought a new lane machine and changed the pattern longer and more volume.

Still working out Details and testing to see how they relate

IQ Tour Fusion OOB
Optimus OOB
Ebonite Cyclone (May Polish up to 1500 polish)

Depending on how The Cyclone works polished up, I may add a High road Pearl or Punch out if I need something for lighter conditions.

Wed night : Uproar + TZone
Friday night : Rumble + Uproar + TZone

I really need to find something for really light oil. The Wed night lanes have the potential of being drier than a popcorn fart.

15lb DV8 Dude
15lb DV8 Hellraiser Terror
15lb DV8 Marauder
15lb DV8 Zombie Spare

Mostly I just use the DV8 Dude and my spare ball for right side spares. Occasionally the lanes will be a bit to oily and Ill need to bring our the HRT.

An addendum to my last post... a 15lb DV8 Rude Dude will replace the HRT in my bag.

I ended up selling the Sinister before I drilled it. Need money to fix my car and can't start back drilling balls for another 3 weeks. Te center I intended it for was supposed to have more oil this year. I wemt last Friday to support my team and if there's more oil it's not much so the Sinister would not have got much use anyway. Going to add a Hysteria when I get back to work and bowsling.
