Dry Lanes: What ball do you use?

[cdolce18]

When the lanes get fried and you are up against the ball return trying to play inside, what ball/ball type do you go to and why?

[cdolce18]

I've never really had too much luck with reactive equipment when playing deep on dry lanes, so about two years ago I bought a Brunswick Karma Urethane. It allows me to move back to where I started and throw the same shot- not to mention it carries just as well as my reactive equipment if not better.

Lane masters Green Hornet is just the piece for this condition. Good luck finding one though.

I think a person has to have a hefty rev rate to use a urethane or plastic…even with the lanes dried up.

Its not a requirement, but it helps,

I really dont have this problem, but I voted plastic because that would be my only option in the arsenal that I currently have

any weak symmetrical ball, (going by the perfect scale info), with the right surface and drilling will work great on dry lanes! I have that DV8 Lemon drop, and for me its just a step up from a plastic. A lot has to do with your spend, rev rate, how ball is drilled, and what surface just to name a few important considerations. That DV8 Bright Yellow ball is very weak, for Iceman, but works great what few times I have come across dry lanes!

We have a darn good lady bowler on our seniors league on Mondays, ( Dolly), she throws a urethane BALL) and it does a great move to the pocket on fresh oil. How does she do it???

Its not her rev rate at all, but rather her speed. With her below average speed, that ball move great to the pocket!

She throws a 14lb urethane ball, only ball she has! She NEVER,,, NEVER misses the 7 pin, she throws her basic strike ball and gets it every time, ( right handed ),,, but Never picks up the 10!

She always misses that damn 10 pin by what looks like a human hair. (hooks off to the left) (

Side note: she has been bowling with that ball for over 10 years, and has never had it surfaced or modified! She is one of the top 5 female bowlers on that league with an average of 156. She is in her early 70s!

The only problem with going by the perfect scale is that it is not perfect! PLEASE take the time to learn the basics of bowling balls and make up your own mind. Is Ice Man man enough to step up to that plate?

Near enough to perfect for ICEMAN! Rob, are you attacking me!!! Is this a personal attack on ME,,, ICE! Can't you just make your opinion KNOW, and leave my good name out of it???

Speaking of stepping up to the plate,, ARE YOU MAN enough to step up to the plate? Are you and your lovely wife coming to the historic town of Plattsburg for the Real Men Bowl on Wood in Small Towns Championship?

Or,,, because you only beat me by 3 fricken pins, and are 6 months younger then Ice, afraid that that was just LUCK,( that 3 strikes you needed in the 10th to defeat me!!!!)

Every time I make a POST, you attack my GOOD NAME!

What Fricken Plate do you want me to step up to???? I never back down from plates, ask my wife. Are you going to step up to the wood??

JUNE 13th!!! Be there! Or just coward, and stand down!
