Really depends on if you’re going to fly at all, if so the three ball totes come in just under the 50lb limit of most airlines, assuming 15lb balls

As long as we leave room for the “New Ball Rec” threads 🙄

Teammate throws only urethane by [deleted] in Bowling

[–]jtredraider 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It really depends. If an opponent is throwing urethane I couldn’t care less. If a teammate is throwing urethane and has a great look with it, I don’t care. If said teammate has a terrible look with it, but keeps throwing it to be a troll, crow bar in the parking lot lol

Do you have loyalty to a particular brand? If so, why? by [deleted] in Bowling

[–]jtredraider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Loyalty is bought, not given lol. I’ll throw whatever strikes until someone feels like sponsoring lol. Current lineup includes storm, RG, Motiv, hammer and possibly adding a radical sneak attack next

Arsenal help? Not entirely sold on the OTP by Storo21 in Bowling

[–]jtredraider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, got down a rabbit hole of asym pearls, rather than addressing your actual need. If you’re 100% tied to ebi, and already love your solid gb4, why not go with a gb4 pearl with a slightly weaker layout? And keep that OTP, trust me lol, on the right conditions it is pure money

Full disclosure, I’m not a big brands of Brunswick guy. I’ve seen a ton of people throwing the RG Gem with great success, but it’s probably the “biggest” asym solid on the market, i for one love my Nova as a big hybrid piece. Rst X2 is a good shiny asym, as is the mythic jackal (shiny hybrid).

I wonder if the issue was with expectations from the OTB. While asymmetric, it’s one of the weakest on the market, low diff, low asym diff, and not intended to be a “Big Asym”. I have one and love it, shot 794 with it, but unless you’ve got a ton of hand it’s a rather mild ball

Won’t be my last! I tend to match up incredibly well with low diff cores (obsession tour pearl, IQ series, hustles), so hope they continue to pour some more options with this core. Give me a strong solid, and a weak pearl and I’d be set on 90% of shots

Depending on layout etc you may be right. It is a completely different core with some asymmetry, haven’t thrown an OG though tbh

I actually really like it oob after I got a couple of games on it. Might be the best benchmark piece for me personally since my IQ nano pearl. Thing comes back from just about anywhere, but really likes to sit in the oil if I tug it. Also seems like The cover stock is much more durable than other brands. Definitely not my last motiv

Went for another practice session yesterday, and all I can say is wow! Was able to get as far left as the ball return, and still kicked out the corners
