new ball for a two handed approach

[TweakX4]

so i'm a two handed bowler and currently own a misfit and zombie spare but i'm looking to add to my arsenal when i get my tax return. any suggestions?

[ecub]

Depends. What shots are you having problems with? What reaction are you looking for? Do you bowl in leagues or just open bowling? Do you know what oil pattern you bowl on?

[I suck at bowling]

I'm a two handed bowler myself, so I can help you out.

Like Ecub said above, what kind of reaction are you looking for?

Columbia VOW(Medium oil) and Defiant,Sync,Raptor talon for heavy oil.

It has been my experience as a two handed bowler that really aggressive equipment does not work too well with such a high rev rate. Even when the conditions are on the heavy side. If I use anything more aggressive than my Outlaw, I leave corner pins, or the ball hits light leaving splits. Now if your as talented as Belmo or Osku, and can constantly drill new balls until you get the reaction your looking for, then you can get away with using Vivids and Syncs. For amateurs, I would recommend staying away from high end equipment. I wouldn't get anything more aggressive than a Marauder, or Disturbed, even on heavy oil. Again like everyone says, it depends what you want it for, conditions, type of reaction. If you want more aggressive than what you have now, I say try the two balls I just mentioned, or the Arson Low Flare, or the Track 503t. If you want something a little less aggressive, go with the Misfit Pearl.

My bad on the Arson Low Flare, it's not more aggressive than the Misfit, it's about the same. The regular Arson is more aggressive.

Two quick things. Zothen, if the OP is a typical high rev player, where would he use any of the heavy oil balls you suggested?

Rocco, I've seen two handers who had very low revs. It was rare and very funny!

thanks for the input on my limited info. but i would say that i'm high rev and fairly slower (about 14-15 mph at the pins) on drier lanes i can go from gutter to gutter missing the pins all together with the misfit. in that case i switch to my zombie spare and can bring it into the pocket from between the 3rd and 4th arrow. but, on the lanes at my school, which i'm assuming are just super oily i have a hard time bringing the misfit back from the 3rd arrow.
i also want to add that i'm new to bowling, just took it up mid january so i'm not super sure on a whole lot.

Yeah so have I. The other two hander in my league has low revs. In fact his rev rate two handed is no higher than it was one handed. I just assume high revs from a two hander, probably shouldn't make that assumption.

If you're bowling at a college, you may just be bowling on a sport shot most of the time. Check with the manager there and ask what kind of oil pattern they use and if they change it and when. This will give you a heads up as far as which balls you'll normally need to shoot at those lanes. If you go to other houses though you might be shooting on a THS (typical house shot) and then those aggressive balls (with your high rev rate) may come back to bite you. if you start bowling in a league at your school and don't venture out to other houses, then you may be able to get away with the more aggressive equipment.
See if there's a coach at the lanes and ask them for some advice. Most coaches are more than happy to help out new bowlers.
Good luck and let us know if we can help.
