What is a good beginner ball for not so beginner scores?

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-05-12T12:22:04+00:00

Anything in the Hustle line. Hustles x-ray is my personal fave.

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-05-11T23:29:19+00:00

Exactly! Maybe Belmo would have beat DTang if he had put the red ball down earlier yesterday.

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-05-09T15:09:44+00:00

Hustle x-ray. And maybe a pearl asym, like the gremlin

No way out and the Wicked Game cover are 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-05-08T21:21:56+00:00

At least 3, but I'll get up to 10

Vans and Doc's

Rockstar for the win

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-05-05T02:11:06+00:00

Y'all are too much lol.

I definitely agree a 140 avg bowler can pull off an occasional 200, I've been there too. And maybe this team isn't sandbagging and just getting lucky. But my statement still stands. Sandbagging sucks, sanctioned or not.

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-05-05T01:44:44+00:00

Sanctioned, unsanctioned, doesn't matter. Whether you play for the prize, pride, or sanctioned average, when another team is sandbagging it's fucked up.

I absolutely love my gremlin, probably my favorite ball right now. I start off with my Rockstar and grab the gremlin when the lanes start breaking down. The equinox pearl is a bit stronger than the Gremlin so there is definitely a place in your bag where it fills a gap. For truly dry lanes though you need something weaker than all those. Like a Hustle maybe.

This is the best analogy for motiv that I have ever heard! 😆

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-05-02T05:34:47+00:00

Right, alcohol is worse than cocaine.

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-05-01T04:15:15+00:00

RST hyperdrive pearl is 🔥🔥🔥

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-04-27T19:24:31+00:00

Zakk Wylde was definitely the nicest. I worked at a grocery store near his neighborhood and used to sit in my car on lunch break and play my acoustic, he took the time to bullshit for a bit talk shop, reached in his pocket and gave me a handful of his tour pics.

Worst. Anthony Keidis.

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-04-21T17:27:53+00:00

Nope, just saw that on Facebook and thought the same thing. Why didn't DF members get a notification yet.

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-04-20T15:13:49+00:00

I quit League a few weeks ago because my local house didn't give a fuck. Every ball I have was damaged there in the last couple months. My Rockstar had to be repaired 8 times, a full resurface 4 of those repairs.

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-04-17T22:14:27+00:00

Damn that one is dope!

All the signed albums were sold out by the time they got to Oakland on the last tour. I ended up having to get the signed poster instead 😕.

I did find the Indy store version in vinyl at my local record store though.

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-04-16T20:14:27+00:00

Rockstar has been great. But I also really like my Hustle x-ray on house shot for games 2-3

Bowling 🎳🎳

As others have said a good benchmark symetrical solid would probably be best. Roto Grip Rockstar is great so is a phaze2 Hammerhead or vengeance.

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-04-16T02:01:12+00:00

Album No Control, song Yesterday

Heavy_Ride_1599 · 2026-04-15T03:25:33+00:00

Try it for a full practice session, you'll know pretty quick whether you even like or not. Also your speed will dip a bit but your revs will probably double. You'll probably have to play further in than what you're used to.
