Need a weak ball that still hits hard?

Vegas I have a question for you. Do they put weight blocks in those 12 lb. balls you use?

They do not.

OK that settles that. When I asked advice on the weight of a ball I was hoping for a pro shop guy or a bowler with some knowledge of adult balls. Skidding a ball from the corner to the head pin doesn't make you an expert. Have you ever hit a 600 series?

[fordman1]

I forgot the part where you said you take 11 or 12 ibuprofen before using your 12 lb. ball.

[Amyers]

They do not.

Your 12 lbs. do have cores they just use a generic core that approximates the reaction of the core they used in the heavier balls. Your Danger Zone and the Thug have the same core as the heavier balls the Vandal may not.

Quite a few 600's Mr. Judge & Jury.

You are correct. But the VDZ has a different cover stock vs. the Thug Unruly (pearl vs. reactive resin), and it is drilled much differently than the Thug Unruly, where the VDZ will go a bit longer without the pronounced snap which is how I wanted it. Not to mention it was a bit cheaper as well. lol

Oh I wasn't saying the balls were similar just that they both had cores

I understand Wasn't looking to debate

Vegas are you self taught or do you have a coach?

Way back when, when I first started bowling I was taught by my father, rest his soul.

Since my return in 2014, I've self taught through watching videos, and by trial and error on the lanes.

Never had a coach.
