Packy Shows His Three Best Bowling Balls For Dry Lanes Become a House Member!! 👇👇 / @thehousebowling Merch Link 👉 thehousebowlin... #TheHouseBowling #BowlMoreStrikes
I bowled once on wood lanes that had not been oiled in years. Use a house ball and rolled from the beginning of the take off area. Rolled across the lane from the left. Had to go to the 4th board from the right gutter before it broke back to the pocket. It was interesting! This was a Nellis AFB Aux Field back in 1979!
I'm sorry Packy that didn't look like no oil to me , that was a good lane condition in my centre ! No oil is when you put the ball on the lane and it hooks just past the arrows and if your lucky hits the corner pin .
Ocean vibe is one of my favorites. I can usually throw it from very far left(i’m right handed), throw it slower and it hooks so sharp to the pocket downlane. Great video!
Hi Packy, this Lane looks pretty fine for me 😂. Here in Germany i has to be glad for such conditions. Back to Topic, i use a Storm Hit with extra long Layout for the most of the Time if its really dry.
I use the hammer raw on dry lanes, I bowled a few times at lanes where the front desk guy said they oil the lanes every Wednesdays. I practice on tuesdays. It performed perfectly.
"....almost broke my ankle." This is why urethane approaches suck. (They are also knee-killers.) Rosin bags, or cancer dust (talc powder) apparently fix it some. Wood approaches that are well-maintained are best.
I bowled to the driest lane last night, the Gem, even when it was strong and pin down, did ok but i was surprised with the result i had more issues on the floor not letting me slide and almost tripped, need new shoes lol
I use the only ball I have a Chicago cubs ball assume it’s plastic tough to control on dry lanes for me I have no approach I stand at line and throw cause my left side is paralyzed can’t figure out a good ball to buy and use
From my understanding, wouldn’t flare be mostly affected by pulling weight near the pin? For balls intended to work high friction, low flaring drills sound like a rather logical solution. On the other side, for anyone with a lesser refined release, getting that close to 0 intermediate diff with a symmetric ball is likely to give inconsistent ball reaction. Just my 2 cents
Where I bowl (Bury St Edmunds, UK) they only dress the lanes for the Wednesday night league. When I bowl other times I use a Hustle Wine or, if it's really dry, I use a DV8 Zombie and try to bowl as straight as I can!
I love my sneak attack! I got about 20 or so games on it and it still rolls great! I use it at the end of league or if I’m playing against a lot of high rev players around game 2.
For dry lanes, I have A Hustle Wine and a Tropical Storm, both are great on the dryer lanes, but don't discount them, they will indeed grab and suddenly take off on you. I have a Hammer Ocean Vibe (new version), and it's not the greatest on super dry, but it will get job done with some effort if I do my part. We seem to have good oil, ludicrous oil, or Sahara desert dry lanes.
The original tropical storm was ridiculously good. I'd rather got one as his first ball and it was always great reaction. I got a tropical breeze later as a low oil ball and it was nowhere near the same, although I've heard the surge is better.
Dude i’m constantly throwing my tropical surge at league and anytime i go to a new bowling alley i also has a raw hammer for when the lane is definitely more oiled.
Packy I have a Radical Bonu$ Pearl that's going on two years old, my question to you is if you don't mind. What is the difference between this Sneak Attack and the Bonu$ Pearl? Just to see if there is any difference. Then you bring out this Purple Hammer reactive That I really liked but then there is Radical's Rattler. Dilemma dilemma. Thanks and keep up the good stuff.
For me it is the ebi magenta urethane hammer from overseas with 360 grit , a Geico viza ball ( that you would see the pros use on tv for their spares in 2004-2007) , the ebi black hammer urethane,
i mean i dont really have a choice since i only own 3 balls so i try to see which one moves the best down lane and then i choose either the hammer diesel heavy duty or the black widow ghost
League night is usually a light volume, and about 30'-32'. Everything hooks too much except my spare ball. Im still looking for something that can be reasonable to use.
I usually use The Motiv Pride Solid for really awful dead zone spots when my center doesnt oil the lanes (which is usually on cosmic weekends, and then during the day before league nights), and the Storm Crux Prime to really blend the reaction down.
So isn't it primarily about the differential of the ball? Meaning the lower the diff the less the hook, the less the hook the better for playing dryer conditions.
I generally drop right down to my Spy once they start drying up, I don’t get enough speed on the ball to throw reactive if they’re dry and be able to control it.
For dry lanes i typically use an ebonite crush/r or a ten year old (very worn out) hy-road. Or worst comes to worst il use grandpas old rubber ball (brunswick all star i believe)
hey man you should be more detailed with this question, what do you mean by opinion, what he likes/dislikes? just a guess but as a 2 handed lefty id guess he likes shorter patterns with the purple hammer because he can keep the ball infront of him and play an easier shape. and since hes left handed if it starts easy it will remain easy for most of the day. but if its a challenging pattern he could dislike it. really just depends.
I just started bowling In leagues and I am adjusting to the change of having fresh oil out there because when I would bowl on my free time they would usually be dryer lanes. What would be the best ball for me to use. I am also a right two handed bowler.
With the way i throw it really doesn't matter if the lanes are dry or not, i can still play the same line. My go to ball for league is Cutting Edge and if that doesn't work i use my DV8 Grudge, Turmoil 2 or Rhino.
Using professional bowling terms to describe what you are doing is really making sense to me!!! I'm moving 2 & 1 along with other terms in pro lingo doesn't make sense to a once a week league bowler like me!!!!
i use a ball that everyone can use it is so populer that nearly every bowler uses it before getting their first ball. It is ofcourse the 12 pound house ball :)
