    Question Need A Lesser Ball ( To Much H00k)

    I Just got my JigSaw a few months ago and its drilled Very strong with the pin as far right of the finger tips as you can go, As Robert says 4x4.
    Then I have my icon300 particle Ball Drilled with the pin very high above mid fingers.
    Now I need a ball the Will not only Look Real good(a must) but will skid far and flip med.
    I want Some type of ball that looks Just as good as my jig or my Purple ICON, Any Ideas?
    P.S. I am a Power Stroker

    look hybrid balls... Storm Hy-Road, Virtual Energy, or maybe a particle pearl drilled to arch on the back end... I have actually found that my Second Dimension has good length and is probably one of the smoothest balls on the back end out of all that I currently throw.. I would say something like Hy-Road would be a good fit between them..

    (This is just my opinion on the current Storm balls)

    I say to look at the Brunswick Python. That should have good length and snap, but shouldn't hook as much as other stuff. If you need something weaker, Avalanche Pearl oughtta do it.

    How does the Icon compare to the Jigsaw? Do you use the Jigsaw on fresh and switch to the Icon or is the Jigsaw too strong to start with also?

    Red face balls out of the dungeon

    Hey Strike, Yeah I start off with the jigSaw then Work my way left untill the 3rd arrow, then I pick up the ICON witch go's longer on the back end so I wind up moving back to 2nd arrow with my eyes and almost start all over again. The ICON was top of the Line in particle balls back in its day.. A lesser ball Should do the trick.
    P.S. I was also wanting to practice going up 1,2,3 boards and get that Line down pat as well..

    Thanks onefrombills, Sweet looking ball and Now it's On my Short List

    What I did Was just for Sh-ts and giggles was pull my Black Rhino(Big with Mark Roth in the 80's PBA) and My Radical InfernO, Prime Time, and Monster Retired balls out of the dungeon.
    Now all I have to do is drag them all the the lanes and see what they can do
