ball replacement

[blistershurt]

Well. I figured it out, some people the Gas Mask core just doesnt work for, and I seem to be one of them. So I sold my BWS today to some guy who throws all Track (convert to Hammer hopefully) and I need advice on a ball to replace it.

My current arsenal looks like this....
Anger (my baby....I love this ball so very much)-heavy
Cherry Vibe- light/short
Target Zone-spares (once I get it redrilled)
U dot- fried...usually use it for tournaments with two 5 game blocks.


I am missing a good medium-heavy ball...I have a few options in mind, I know this is a Hammer forum but I trust everyone on here enough to guide me in the right direction.

1) Anger with a different drilling and polish
2) Kinetic for long and strong
3) ...a different ball?

I really need help on this one, I have some time to think about it, right now I have been throwing alot of my Anger, my BWS needed to be sold because I used it for 10's I'd just throw harder and it wouldnt move a board. (when it was very clean at that too)

Maybe a Toxic?

IMO a good Med-Heavy oil ball could be a NMB with Pin about 4" from you PAP . This will get the ball rolling earlier throught the oil.

The other choice would be the Anger . I don't know how your other Anger is drilled but a length with Backend drill on this would work well also. I would put the Pin on this around 3 1/2 inches from you PAP and keep the Cg in the center of your grip. Keep both balls at OOB finish.

1) Anger with a different drilling and polish = Good idea. How is your current one drilled ? or a Doom with no polish

2) Kinetic for long and strong= The Temper is a better ball

3) ...a different ball?= Maybe a Gamebreaker or Momentum

2) Kinetic for long and strong= The Temper is a better ball

Y do u think the temper is better in that area?

[bluerrpilot]

Not necessarily in that particular area, but a number of staff players and reps are telling me that its just a better ball overall than the Kinetic

Blue, my anger is drilled exactly like yours

Actually, I wanna throw a Rival into the mix as well, anyone have any insight on this ball? I've seen it rolled a few times and it looks like a great ball. I already have my benchmark (anger) and building around it, the Rival looks very smooth at OOB.

[bluerrpilot]

I have heard alot of good things from that ball. I've seen it in action many times too and so far doesn't look like it would disappoint

[blistershurt]

Yeah I'm afraid another Anger would almost be too much ball even polished, but the Rival actually looks alot better suited for what I am looking for.

Rival or Temper definetly
