Question from Rick B:
Q – Hi. I am in somewhat of a dilemma. I bowl in leagues year round and i also have started bowling in tournaments. On a recent trip to my state USBC tourney I found myself in a bad spot. My equipment was too agressive for the drier lane conditions. I have a Brunswick C(system)alpha max, Track 715T, and Track 718A and a plastic. My question is what ball would be a good choice? I have been doing some research online and its looking like maybe a Hammer vibe, Columbia freeze, Track 300C,and Brunswick Slingshot. Could you help me please? I have heard that after the 300C gets a few games on it, it starts to hook more(which i dont want to happen). I love the Track equipment. But, I am not locked into only having Track. If there is any advice you may have it would be very much appreciated.
A – Hi Rick, it does appear that all of your equipment is aggressive, and meant to have some oil underneath it. You are looking in the right area for a bowling ball that will fit into your arsenal. Relating this to golf, your bag has a driver a couple of fairway woods, and a putter. You need some irons and wedges in that bag.
From my (John Congdon) personal experience, I really like the Slingshot and the new Roto Grip Bandit for this spot in the arsenal.
There is nothing more frustrating than dry lanes where all of your equipment is too strong.
