Bowler Profile
Name: Big Red
Hand: Right
Arsenal
Brunswick - Zone Classic
Surface: Varies but usually sheen
This ball makes ugly dry conditions look like a walled up fresh house shot. Just have to find a line and keep firm.
Ebonite - V2
Drilling: Short pin drilled with extra hole above fingers to remove top weight
Surface: 800 polished
Another ball that can navigate pot hole conditions with 16 lbs of fury.
Storm - Virtual Gravity Nano
Drilling: low pin with low quadrant Xhole
Surface: Usually keep about 2000 but varies
Probably the most consistent look that will always find movement. Sometimes too much!
Track - 716T
Drilling: Pin left of middle finger with mb still right of thumb.
Surface: 500, 1000, 1500 Abralon Soft
Ball layout saves energy and lets the ball get down before ALWAYS making a strong move. Even with 1500 surface, most of the energy is expended at the pocket. KAPOW!
Track - 718A
Drilling: 55 degree layout, no xhole
Surface: 2000 polished
Sometimes first ball out if it has a good look in shadow practice. You can stay with it all night and just keep moving in the oil. Multiple 700's this season using mostly this ball in at least two of the games.
Track - 919C
Drilling: 55 degree with Xhole "Double Thumbed"
Surface seems to let this ball go long - react a little late before turning up the juice. So have to be careful when or how much speed to use.
Track - Desert Heat
Drilling: Drilled with stable core
Surface: 2000 polished
Sharp hooking ball in "desert" conditions. Zero flare (i like it like that).
Track - Inertia
Drilling: Pin above ring, Xhole mid-low quadrant
Surface: 1500 polished
Light load particle ball can make the big turn or go D&I. It is a true go to ball in anything but heavy heavy oil. Many practice 300's with this one -- nuttin santioned though.
Track - Power Machine
Drilling: 55 degree layout with xhole near mb
Surface: 2500 Abralon Soft
Just redrilled it from my own previous layout to experiment on grip. Ball still works great after 5 yrs. Big move off of any dry spot, even at 20mph.
Track - Robo Rule
Drilling: Pin above ring, Xhole lower quad
Surface: 800 and polished
Light particle load and core makes the ball roll and hit like a madhouse. Makes a gradual move but with a heavy roll in the last 15 feet.
