New ball

[crzysnake137]

Hi guys, i usually buy a new bowlingball every 2-5 months, and its time agian, the last ball i got is the reign, im a storm guy and thats all i will bowl with, Now with the help, which ball should i get, for a fresh to mild flooded house shot, standing at 32 throwing to 10, and medium to medium high rev rate, throwing at 14 mph, thanks, considering the invasion, virtual energy, reign of fire. or whatever you say, i already have a virtual gravity, and sold it because of wrong weight

[Beech]

I have a Virtual Energy, very good ball i never use it on oily lanes never works for me if its high oil id suggest the invasion, from what ive heard its 5-6 boards stronger than the mutant cell so that should work

[Stormed1]

Storms new heavy oiler he Invasion is about -7 boards stronger than the Mutant based on the 3 i've drilled so far. oof the people also have Mutants so that's how i base the comparison. Both player are lower rev players. 1 each male and female. If you like your Reigns ball motion you can also look into the Reign of Fire which handles more oil than the Reign as it is a solid at 1000 abralon

ok now im wndering if the invasion wil work for me, i stand at 32 and throw at 10, ball speed at 14mph will it work?

[Stormed1]

Depends on many factors. How heavy and how lonng is the pattern. If it's a typical house shot outside of 10 is DRY and can cause an aggressive ball such as the Invasion or ROF to hook out and die on the backend. With either of these balls you will more than likely need to move left and play deeper.

[crzysnake137]

heavy house shot, 40 foot house shot, and sometime shark and pba patterns

So im going to buy my new ball tomarrow, the proshop has the invasion on sale for 130 free drilling, and the reign of fire for i think 125, so im so dont know which ball i want or need, Reign of fire, invasion? please leme know asap

[Stormed1]

If it is indeed heavy oil i would go with the Invasion. Most reports so far on the ROF is many have tweaked the surface a little smoother than the 1K it comes at. Price wise at 130 the Invasion is below cost. With your ball speed i would definatly go with a pin up drilling.

[Drano]

holy crap seriously 130 for invasion? drilling inc? my proshop charged me 250 :/

[tj4ndirish]

Yeah, no kidding, my shop is in the 230+ range. For that I can get it off ebay and take it to the shop and still save 30-40.

Where are you that you can get it for that price? I'm gonna come for a visit.

[Stormed1]

We sell them for $200 out the door w/slug and grips

[crzysnake137]

baltimore md, shot makers proshop, the proshop is running a sale on the invasion for 130 with drilling, so about 150-180 for me with tax and iT interchangeable thumb

In the shop where I work, we have the Invasion for $185 out the door. Sounds like you got a good price on it, I hope it works out for you. I have actually liked what I have seen from the Reign of Fire, that looks to be a good fit in the Storm lineup, and a very good compliment to the Reign. The Invasion does appear to be the stronger of the two, but you may have to consider altering the surface if you are a higher rev guy and only throwing 14mph. Just a thought, good luck!

[crzysnake137]

medium rev to be honest, but we will see tomarrow on my morning league. Other then the ball smelling like grape lollipops and grape candy, i really really like it

[Strike Domination]

That's a great price! After tax I would have to play $270+ for that ball. Looks nice, I hope it works for you.

[Stormed1]

Onr of my customers went 280-300 tonight with his

[crzysnake137]

Bowled with it today, bowed ok with it being a youth bowler, 142 142 176, for a 460 set, not bad for the first time throwing the ball

[crzysnake137]

Also could anyone tell me about the layout on my ball, i only found success with the[I] ball rolling it up 10, but i wanted it to go from about 30 to 10, seems like a weak layout, please help
