Once again it’s an arsenal, not a bunch of balls that are for the same conditions. If that’s your price then follow Eric’s guide and you’ll have all bases covered.

there not all for the same comditions ? a method is my benchmark its a drier benchmark i woukd use my tanacity or soon to be vapor sone all 3 of those are for medium to heavy oil then the kinetic would be my ball down from those which is medium to dry anf then id eitger go twist or cherry vibe whitch is for very dry so im confused i would be keeping the comversayion between me and him in im but he said he wants us to talk om here . the mothod is my ball with surfave with my style i only need one of those and now i need to figure out the back end of my bag

Method is definitely not a dry ball. You don’t have a strong asymmetric solid or hybrid. With the Tenacity, 035, Vapor, Kinetic etc they are very close to the same type of ball. So the different layouts like control and low flare will be key to see something different. Just trying to help, Not trying to conflict what he’s saying.

If you’re staying on house shots then that’s fine, but a big asymmetrical like a Katana Slash/conspiracy would be good on long heavy oil. If your balls get too jumpy off the end of the pattern then hit them with a abralon pad to take the shine off to smooth the reaction. Good luck

Storm/Roto are good brands too, those numbers are pre drilled. Medium and high rg balls are needed to fill out an arsenal. Low rg’s hook earlier and high rg’s give more length. Low differential is low flare, high differential is high flare. You already have a decent arsenal, minus a big solid or hybrid asymmetrical. I’d take the money after drilling to Eric’s recommendation and get a coach. Work on your game since you’ve only been bowling 2 years.

I’d probably get a new PSO, hopefully he’s not just selling you balls. If you leave them just change surface until you get something you like. Use Eric’s recommendations for anything new and find a coach.

Sorry to hear, if you post your location I’m sure someone can make a recommendation on who to go see. Unfortunately PSO’s usually are ball reps so if they’re Storm guys or Brunswick then that’s what they push. Eric has done the heavy lifting for you, so I’d use his layouts in the future. He’s good about giving a recommendation on a layout for every ball you purchase, so I’d use that for info and let the PSO just do the physical work. And just remember that even pros still use a coach, so even a lesson every couple of months will pay off.

10 balls is around $2,000

If you you want the best of the best in my opinion, take a trip to Lake Wales, Florida. Visit the Kegel Training Center. A full day lesson will be $620 a half day $320. Book two half days with one day in between for practice. Take an extra $700 for balls. We’re at $1,340 plus 3 nights at an economy hotel $300, car rental $200, plane ticket (let’s say $350). Plus food but you eat every day anyway. Grand total $2,190. I know it sounds like a lot of money but you’ll come home a better bowler with properly drilled balls. Del Warren is an excellent coach but all of them there are some of the best in the world and have plenty of experience coaching at all levels, from beginner to PBA stars. Save up the money or use your credit card. You’ll thank me later.

You can do that, but it’s not giving you different shapes.

I’d go something like Intense/Fire, Hyroad, IQ Tour Solid, Pitch Black.

It is both you and your equipment. You only have 2 years experience, there is alot for you to learn about the game and the game in your own body. How you modify your release subconsciously to adjust to what you gave your mind in feedback from your last shot, etc.

You already have too many bowling balls drilled god knows how. You think you know what the ball is supposed to do based on what your driller said it but from our conversations he doesn't know the difference between Symmetrical and Asymmetrical equipment.
