New Equipment

Hello. I have decided after many years of throwing Brunswick balls to
go somewhere else. I have just purchased a Storm Rapid Fire and was
wondering what other balls I should look for to give me a good group.
I am a medium player across all specs; speed, revs, etc. I normally
play down and in at about the 8th board. I think this new ball will
force me to move inside some more as the ball I have been using is a
very old Proactive Quantumn 2.0. Thanks for any advice.

The best person to seek out is a qualified, respectable Pro Shop
driller who will watch you toss a few shots THEN make ball
suggestions. It's even better if you already have an established
"business relationship" with a driller who already "knows your style,
etc."

The 8th board is a point, but what LINE do you play?

I think we could use Arlene Francis or Bennett Cerf about now? (smirk!)

nothing to him!

Is it bigger than a breadbox? (I'm old enough to understand the references ::sigh:: .)

I'm not sure what you mean by "line" but I can tell you I play pretty
much straight up the 8th board. The ball goes pretty straight and then
breaks to the pocket (hopefully).
