I'm look for a new ball to help me when the oil start to push down and I can't get the ball to the pocket. I currently have 2 Dooms, a blade reactive and a Storm Passion that I just bought. I really don't like the passion but that is another story. I have high revs with med to high speed. I like to swing the ball but have started to play straighter when needed but that still doesn't help. Thanks

and play it a little straight. I think you would be happy with the control and the punch.

I sometimes throw my power diesel or the turbo diesel when i get a lot of carry down since they have a smooth roll to the pocket. That is always a problem with the skid and flip balls. that happens alot when beginning bowlers throw plastic it pushs the oil to the back ends Hope this Helps!

The Blade series has never let me down (neither Diesel) Find a ball in this series w/ the right RG and hook your looking for.

Lets hear about the passion. Your the only person I have heard that doesn't like this ball. This ball should be very similiar to your blade and you can really do anything with the cover and drillings. With carry down, alot of times either moving left or right works (depending on if your right or left handed), otherwise another ball with a touch more surface would work !!

I was thinking about buying this as a backup but decided against it.
ebay.com item # 7235975679
The sling blade since I bought it, has been my favorite ball, everyone should have one.

I was looking for a ball that was going to roll up earlier than my dooms. I talked with my Pro Shop guy and he suggested a Passion. I like the ball when I'm on synthetic lanes but when I bowl on wood lanes it goes to long before it starts to break and doesn't hit the pocket hard enough to carry and I get a lot of 9 counts. I bowled in a tournament the day after I got it on synthetic lanes and lost by 2 pins. I have played with my line, speed, axis rotation, and rev rate and it doesn't seem to help on wood lane which is what I mostly bowl on. If anyone has any other ideas I am open to them.
Thanks for all the advice!
