2. Hammer Toxic
3. Ebonite Smashtime Pearl
4. ???? Brunswick Monster Bruiser (maybe, maybe not)
5. Columiba White Dot (spares)
6. ????
I dont no if i should have anything else in there.. by then i mite have a Track Mean Machine and/or a Brunswick Fury. in which case i got both the Bruiser would come out
think i am missing something??
any input would help
How are these balls drilled? Have you changed the covers?
You have 3 pearls and a polished solid.
I'm wondering about your coverage for long and/or medium to heavy (by volume) oil patterns.

Any of the Mean Machine or Fury will fit that perfectly but if u don't get one, sand the NV to 600 and that should be fine.

well firstly, i dont see why you have got 3 strong pearl balls?
save your money and just sanded up the total nv
This is what i reckon you should have in a six ball arsenal
Heavy Oil-Sanded Ball
Carrydown and Meduim-Heavy Oil- Particle, Pearl Particle or Solid Particle(depending on revs)
Meduim Oil ball- Strong Pearl
Dry-Medium- Weak Pearl
Dry-Entry Level Reactive
Spare Ball
anybody agree?

I agree with that. The only thing that i don't get is that you need a ball seperatly for carrydown. I would just move. I would only have a heavy oil ball, medium oil and light oil ball. I don't need a spare ball really

When you play on sport pattern/pba patterns I think you will find that you need spare ball.
Other than that I agree with everything that Street Racer and you shared particularly re: a sanded ball around 500-800 is really important to have in a tournament arsenal.

i didnt say just for carrydown, but its important to have a particle ball in your arsenal and a particle ball works best in carrydown or med to heavy oil.

I am able to throw my strike ball straight. I just flatten my wrist and it goes perfectly straight.
or if i only wanted 4 balls i know what i would wanna bring with me
Heavy Oil- Black Widow
Meduim Oil- The One
Dry Oil- Sling Blade
Spare Ball- Soccer Ball

Yeah, see that is what i would bring. I only have 4 balls. I am replacing my offset with the bw pearl. My offset doesn't fit right.

hmm i dont know if thats a good idea? i dont know how your 3d hooks, but i'm 99% sure the black widow pearl is going to have a huge skid/snap to it(just experiese i have had with my black widow), the black widow pearl will be more of a med-dry lane ball cause its pearl, i would talk to your ball driller about drill patterns etc
i say right now, that i'm sure the black widow pearl, there will be some very high games and series with it

if you're looking to buy a new ball, i suggest to get a No Mercy or Fury, drilled most aggressive, this would be handy for heavy oil conditions. You do need a sanded or dull ball and NM is the 'bestest' for me. ;)
i agree you do have too many pearls already, which might be drilled for length so you can give away or sell some of your pearls or you can give your Toxic to me :D

I would suggest going with...
1. HawgZilla
2. NoMercy
3. Black Widow
4. Toxic
5. Black Widow Pearl (you will have to break into storage in kentucky)
6. Tuff
now that is a lineup

Well that is what i would need for drier lanes. I don't throw very fast, 15 mph so i would need it to go a little farther. Thank's though. My 3-d is very skid-snap considering it is the super-flip

yeh then i you could get the black widow pearl i guess, and drill it all purpose maybe... just ask your ball driller when you get it

Well, i really like skid-snap balls. I have a problem with power so i need all the power i can. Also, i think it works better.
