Needing to tackle dry lanes

[MajorPhoenix]

So i've been looking at either a hammer vibe (orange or blue) or the brunswick rhino. Just wondering what everyone's opinions of each piece are. I'm also up for other suggestions (sans urethane, since my revs aren't really high enough for them)

I've had a lot of success with the Brunswick Twist. It's an entry level ball with a very high RG to help it get down the lane. I suggest looking at taking the polish off by going down to 3000 and then finishing it off with a 5000 pad.

Either should do the job Rob comment of the Twist would work in this spot also. You may consider a storm Breeze or a 900 global after dark also. all of them are good choices.

I can speak to the vibe series, I personally got a Cherry Vibe for this purpose. From what I understand on the Orange and Blue Vibes you are essentially looking at the same ball - very very small difference in which the Orange allegedly has a little more "hook" - granted when I look at the numbers they have the same cover, same core, same finish, and same RG/diff so I'm skeptical on the actual difference. I think a better comparison is that the claim is that the Cherry has the most length, the Orange/Blue is in the middle, and the Onyx has the earliest roll...but the RG/diff/finish are the same for all three and the difference is that the covers under the polish are different (I'm not going to say absolutes, but they may be closer to the same ball with different colors).


Steer clear of urethane because there is a very big difference between dry lanes (not for urethane) and short oil/low volume lanes (more applicable to urethane). From what it sounds like I would agree with the boards and go with a higher RG option such as the Twist.

My lower volume ball is the Brunswick Twist that I hit with a used 2000 pad to break the polish.

I have the Rhino. I'm a higher speed lower rev bowler and this ball goes pretty straight for me. I'm always afraid to use it but think last week might have been perfect for it. Currently the Rhino is at 3000 polished but I make knock it down a little. But all in all I think it's a good ball
