Suggestions? Semi weak ball?

**sukeetoshyoo88** · 03-19-2013, 06:30 PM

hey guys,

Im looking into buying a new ball, maybe next month some time. and would like some suggestions, please.
rev-rate: somewhere in the 300s (maybe around 330-360)
ball speed: 15-16mph. takes about 2.6-2.8s to reach the pins hooking the ball.
lane conditions: broken down second shift league

current arsenal
nexxus pin up pin up above middle finger.
versa-max pin up between bridge
-just went to a sarge easter, and my pap changed, never found the new one, so i can't give you distances or angles.

Im looking for a ball that'll go longer and not read the mid-lane as much as either ball.
the nexxus is too strong for bowling second shift, and the versa-max (polished) starts up too early in the 3rd game.
by the end of second/ start of third game in, im sliding just to the right of the gutter, and throwing at 5th arrow. and by the end of the 3rd im lofting a wee bit.

i was thinking maybe a pearl ball drilled similar to the nexxus?

what do you guys think?

I would look into an entry level reactive. Most of them shouldn't have too much mid lane movement and are great on broken down lanes. I personally have an Ebonite Cyclone which I use when the lanes are dry.

Since you seem yo like Brunswick stuff i would think originsl DV8 Msrsuder ot Misfit, Storm Frantic or Tropical Heat, Roto Wetcker or Shatter.

Cyclone.

should mention that the proshop mostly or carries dv8, brunswick, track, hammer, storm, rotogrip. dont think i've seen any ebonite.
i shy away from storm stuffs, due to the scents.

when to the companies generally come out with their new stuff?

I love my Tropical Breeze for the light oil. The smooth polished surface gives it plenty of length, but the core inside it still allows it to hit the pocket pretty hard.
