Ball reccomendations
This is my first time asking for advice to the masses. I average between 190-210 a game. I average between 16-17 mph. Typically a high rev bowler. I am currently using a blue coral venom as main ball. I'm looking for another ball to use as a secondary. When I'm off on my blue coral I'm super off. Playing straighter typically shows results when I'm off my game with the coral. I'm not sure what works as a good backup. My current backup is a Monster Smasher from 20ish years ago. Any reccomendations?

Re: Ball reccomendations
Are you looking for a less dramatic response to friction or a more dramatic response? AKA a weaker or stronger ball?

Re: Ball reccomendations
I'm thinking weaker? I can use the coral to cross the lane well, but if I have to adjust because I'm hitting flat 10s I move to the middle more, but then I hit high headpin. So I'm not sure what can help fill that void in my bag when I can't get my coral to work.

High headpin like a 4 pin, or a split?gingersaturn wrote: ↑July 19th, 2023, 8:45 pm I'm thinking weaker?

Re: Ball reccomendations
I would try splitting the difference between splitsville and flat tens.
