What am I missing?

Post by CPWaste »

Hi all,

I am a league bowler who bowls in competitions once a month. I average 170 on house patterns and around 175-180 on tournament patterns. I am a youth bowler who bowls for England. I have 5 bowling balls at the moment but feel like I am missing something.
My bowling balls are:
Power Torq Solid
Omega Crux
Deadly Rattler
Purple Hammer
Plastic for spares

I am open to any suggestion just need a bit of reasoning behind it. Money is not an issue either
Thanks in advance!

Hi, CPW.

There is no information on your bowler specs or the conditions where you bowl.
So my comments will be just looking at your arsenal, and assume they are the right balls for how you bowl where you bowl.

You have two solids and two pearls (plus a spare ball).
In the solids (SYMs), one is higher RG and Lower DIFF, and the other is lower RG and higher DIFF.
In the pearls, one is a higher RG and lower DIFF SYM, and the other is a lower RG and higher DIFF ASYM.
Seems reasonable to me.

The only thing you might add is a medium RG and medium DIFF Hybrid that might function as your middle-of-the bag benchmark ball.
You should wait to see what Eric and others offer you.

As always, I'm no expert, and your mileage may vary...

How long have you been bowling?
Do you or have you worked with a coach/instructor?
May all beings everywhere be happy and free,
and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life
contribute in some way to that happiness
and to that freedom for all.
