I'm a down and in player when I can. Ball speed 14.5 - 15 mph at the pins. The lanes are the original wooden lanes installed in 1962. I'm a low rev player but don't have the rev rate number.
ok got off the phone with my buddy and he said the ringer platinum pearl went longer then the ringer but has more of a move then the ringer did.
my 1 jr bowling coach has not acculy gotten ether of the DV8 balls yet but he did test out the misfit solid and he said his words with testing muti layout that it was kind of not consistent.
so the ball I would say is the one roblv1 said the LT - 48

Um Rob, I routinely resort to balls with very low friction covers.Originally Posted by RobLV1
Are you saying I can't move in and open up the lane?
Rob is a Bowling God! Amen,,, I say AMEN!
Yes Mike that's what he is saying, Mr 600 rev guy! So don't do it!! Hey ,,,,who won the Aslan vs Michael tournament?? Sure I beat Aslan, but who knows next time if a 67 year old can beat a 41 year old! I am pretty sure I will be victorious again, but its not written in stone!
Rob is the MASTER! His word is truth, not to be questioned, its dogma! Do what you want Mike, but suffer the consequences of defying The God Of Bowling!
Rob used his HUGE Knowledge Base to defeat the magnificent four!!
I, ICEMAN, will never question his thoughts or ideas again.... I am in the market for a plastic spare ball as I type!!!
(I even noticed that his wife seems to WORSHIP HIM!)
People at the lanes, (in Suncoast), would reach out just to touch him,,,, swearing never to wash their hand EVER AGAIN!
Such is his POWER!
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
I'm pretty sure that Rob was referring to bowlers with much lower rev rates than Mike and who change to lower friction balls so they can continue to play the outside of the lanes.

Why be such a d***? We are ALL sure Rob was referring to less experienced bowlers and or rev rates.
I am pretty SURE TOO! I am just playing around with MIKE! Can't we just some times have a little fun, and not be so serious!!
Never Question The Great Rob!!!

well reading it rob never said anything about revs it was someone who cant move in and open the lanes?
meaning someone that is not comfortable or does not know what that means
I use to play the outside with all the revs I have and it took me awhile to get use to moving in at this different bowling alley I did not want to play on the inside because I kept thinking the ball would never come back in.

No, Mike, you can definitely move in and open up the lane. Please let me explain why I made a general statement about most bowlers who resort to balls with low friction covers. I'll be as brief as I can, but I need to cover the bases for everyone.
First of all, most bowler's egos will not allow them to accurately evaluate their bowling styles. Most strokers really believe that they are tweeners, and most tweeners really believe that they are crankers. You also have the issue that most bowlers fall somewhere along the middle of the spectrum in terms of being balanced between speed and rev rate. Of those who are out of balance one way or the other, for every rev dominant player (such as yourself), there are 20 speed dominant players.
If you watch tapes of Jason Belmonte when he first started on the PBA Tour five or six years ago, he would often use a plastic ball for strikes in the TV finals. Now, you never see him use plastic or urethane for anything other than spare conversions. The reason is that he has learned to temper his rev dominance with speed and loft control so that he no longer needs to resort to throwing plastic at strikes.
I feel like I needed to explain this for the simple reason that rev dominant players are really pretty rare, and I was afraid that those who resort to low friction equipment out of a fear of leaving the comfort of the second arrow would rationalize that they, too, are rev dominant.
I guess I opened a big can of worms, didn't I? All I asked was what balls people are using on drier conditions, or what they switch to when their shot dries up. I've seen people walk in dragging 6 to 9 balls for tournaments. Don't tell me they just pick one ball and keep moving left and open up the lane.
Yes, there are people who throw super-hooking equipment and loft the gutter cap to do so. I'm not wanting to do that- I'm too old for that. I keep moving left until I start leaving 10 pins, and then it's time to switch to something else that hooks less and carries the corner pin where I bowl in league .
