    Default The little Old Lady that Lived in the Shoe!!!

    I need help!!! Getting another ball today for the top gun league! Getting the DV8 lemon Drop! Not sure how to drill it, but need a ball for medium/dry lanes!

    I have more bowling balls, then the little old woman that lived in the shoe had kids!!! And I don't know what to do!! Anyone know a good bowling ball shrink!!

    Also not sure if I want to go 16, or 14 pound? I have the marruder, Marruder madness, and this would be the weakest of the 3. But pin up? Down? location of pin if up? These are the things I do not completely understand at this point in time!

    LOL I guess you're talking about the misfit? Here are the drilling options:

    It all depends on your PAP, and what you want the ball to do.

    My suggestion is to talk to your pro/driller and let them know what you have already and how it is drilled, and what the conditions will be for your new league and ask for their suggestions.

    And I understand your Shoe Complex... I now have five bowling balls, a "full arsenal" for most conditions, and I usually only bowl on THS...

    And I all want to do is buy more bowling balls, they're just so.. shiny... and awesome... this must be what rednecks feel like when they look at the sparkle finish on speed boats.

    Well I did it!!! Purchased the Lemon Drop, 16lb'er. Not adding the Vise system on this one to begin with! Why, because they are out!!! Can you believe that! Anyway might be good to get back to basic's!! Who knows I might like it, or not!

    balls works great!! Very happy with the 16lb'er! I wish now all my 15 balls were 16!!! Much better control, and more accurate hitting the mark. I got on some fresh oil and thought it might not work well!! 5 strikes in a role two spares, and then I had to move! VERY happy that I went up instead of down! The extra weight feels great! I believe my 15s are in reality too lite! It will be interesting to see how it works out after I use it a little more. It does not have the Vise System, and it felt great! James, the driller did a great job!! He is the guy that drilled my Pearl IQ, that resulted in my last 300 game!!

    Interesting. I had the exact opposite experience. When I was with 16lb'er I was all over the place. 15lb'ers was when I got my average from sub 200's to the 220's. Allowed me more control and repetition of shots.

    I have a couple balls driled 65 a 4.75 x 65 and find it to be a good "long and strong" layout....
