    Default New ball for drier conditions help

    Anyone reading this, will you please share what make and model ball you use for either when a medium condition has burned up, or just generally dry conditions. Thanks

    well you should go with a urethane ball or a ball that's ment for med-dry oil, there is a lot of bowling balls out there but witch brand do you want to get

    also if you want you can go over to bowlingball.com site, put your mouse over the balls icon it will lower a list of stuff, go to lane condition witch is right beside the brands and below the performance, you can click dry or med-dry balls and it will bring up a list and you can look threw all different brands there and look for the one that you like.

    but pick more then 1 at least 3 or 4 and come back over here with your choices and we can help you pick

    * *I'd like to stay in the Brunswick/DV8 line as I have had great success with my Marauder. I have been researching the DV8 Misfit Solid red/orange, the Johnny Petraglia Vintage LT-48, the Brunswick Ringer and Ringer Platinum Pearl, the DV8 Outcast, *and the DV8 Hooligan.

    I can't imagine a "normal" lane condition on a house shot that requires a bowler to resort to a urethane or plastic bowling balls unless the lanes haven't been oiled for about three days. When you start on a relatively fresh condition, as the lanes dry up, move left into the oil. Those that routinely resort to balls with very low friction covers are those who can't move in and open up the lane.

    I can move in and throw the ball right all night and pound the pocket. I'm looking for a ball to minimize the move and allow me to play straighter and carry better. As the night progresses the 10 pins start accumulating. It's an old tough house that has been open for 52 years and has less than 50 300's thrown in it.

    foreverincamo do you have idea what your rev rate is and also is the bowling alley wood or synthetic lanes.

    but I will get a hold of my buddy he has the ringer and ringer platinum pearl (all he throws is Brunswick)

    the only Brunswick ball I got is the brawler great ball.
    I did have 4 DV8 balls but sold 1 because it was 14lb and the other cracked but the 2 I still have is the nightmare and marauder (I just have to get a new thumb slug for my marauder the one in it is all worn out)

    rob you are right about that most people don't have to go to that weak of cover stoke. I only suggested it but also a med-dry ball because he never said his rev rate so I did not want to pick a ball for him.

    the urethane ball I have is the ebonite nitro with the pancake core, the only time I throw it, even on fresh but when I get left to where I have to loft the left gutter push out to around 10-5 board and it still over hooks so I switch to my nitro and go straight up 10, but not often that I do this because I will more go to my network go up 5 board. when I start leaving corners 1 after another even after making adjustments is when I do a ball change.


    but the DV8 outcast and hooligan I will have to call one of my jr bowling coachs and see if he has ether one of those

    without knowing alot about your game, rev speed etc... I would look at the Storm Tropical.It has polished factory finish and reactive resin coverstock with a modified 3-piece core design...
