    Default Balls on YOUR wish list

    As of right now

    -Clear spare ball like the brain storm, lane 1 blood diamond etc

    - motiv primal rage

    -seismic venator

    - motiv tank or storm supernatural

    - radical yeti

    - endless nightmare or radical reax

    -lord field korrupt

    Highest probability of actually buying is the tank or supernatural as im looking to get a modern urethane so i can put away the ol amf angle

    Forme it's a Primal Rage and Tribal. My next purchase nwill be either a Raptor mTalon or a Cruel Intent for my son as his Sunday money league is putting out more oil than his Modern Marvel handles. Plus I need to replace my daughters victori Road pearl

    Mine:

    1) Hammer Big Block Diesel, 16lb
    2) Hammer TNBA Rhythm, 16lb (GOT IT!!)
    3) Brunswick Slingshot, 16lb (GOT IT!!)

    4) Track300A, 16lb
    5) Brunswick Aura Mystic, 14lb
    6) Storm Hy Road, 15lb

    Thats my main list. I have a longer list that includes some newer balls…some brands that I've wanted to try but haven't yet; like:

    7) Radical Reax, 16lb
    8) Lane #1 Ripsaw, 15lb
    9) Lane #1 Pearl Panther, 15lb
    10) Lane #1 Stealth Bomber, 15lb
    11) Seismic Venator, 15lb
    12) Rotogrip Deranged, 15lb
    13) Rotogrip Rumble, 16lb
    14) 900 Global Eagle Pearl, 16lb
    15) DV8 Dude, 15lb
    16) DV8 Ruckus, 16lb
    17) Radical Reax Version 2, 16lb
    18) Storm BYTE, 15lb
    19) Lord Field Bad News, 16lb
    20) Lord Field Off the Chain, 16lb
    21) Motiv Primal Rage, 15lb

    But I'm probably never going to get very far down that list since I am more likely to buy balls that have been discontinued where I can get them at a significant discount. For example, I recently bought a 900 Global Bullet Train, a Columbia Encounter, and a Columbia Dark Encounter. Why? Because I saved a SIGNIFICANT amount of money buying these perfectly good, high performance balls…by just waiting for a newer version to come out and getting the perfectly good previous version at a huge discount. Same way I save money on my electronics. Each of those I bought I got for $80-$100 off regular price. ANd I don't mean the absurd regular price you see on most websites…I mean $80-$100 off the regular price on most websites. All the balls I've bought have been under $80 shipped.

    Experimenting. I used to roll a 14lb ball and moved up to a 15lb ball. I feel like the move up to 15lb has been helpful in terms of pin carry…but I'm not sure if I have the same control as I did with the 14lb ball. However, with the tri-grip 15lb ball…it feels lighter…good control. So I'm going to try and start throwing a 16lb ball…hopefully tri-grip…and see how it feels. But I'd also like to try the Aura Mystic at 14lb…sorta try out the theory that actually 14-15lbs is "better" than 16lb. The old theory is that you want to throw the heaviest ball you can to get the most pin carry. But…I've heard some new theories that you want a ball with a little more "deflection" and should go with a 14-15lb ball instead.

    So, just experimentation. Hopefully 16lb isn't absolutely unbearable….because I have 4 undrilled 16lb balls in my closet…I'd hate to sell them at a loss because I hate the weight.

    where did you get the 4 16lb balls..... and why do you have 4??? why not 6 undrilled balls??? I don't get it!

    Yes there are guys I know that are huge, look like NFL football players, throwing 14lb, and swearing by them!! After much research I am not sure you gain anything with the heavier balls anymore!

    I have all 3 and threw the 14lb'er last Monday, Columbia Freight Train! I used it for all three games, not changing balls, had a 637! Not bad, but I think it could even give me a 700!

    So,,, I like all 3 weights... I don't seem to have a problem changing weights at all!

    I did get my Tri Grip fixed frantic,,, can't wait to take it out tomorrow and give it a spin!!
