hey tech. I thought about that ball. Love the look of it. But Im wondering if its not too close to my swarm and copperhead already. I dont want to make the mistake of building an arsenal of balls that are too similar. KNow what i mean. How are you liking it thus far?

For layout, there's a couple options. You could drill the weak ball the same as your Swarm and the strong ball the same as your Copperhead. You could also drill the strong ball stronger and the weak ball weaker. You don't have to pick one of these methods, I'm just bringing them up. For me, your Swarm would have a strong layout, I wouldn't lay my light oil ball out that strong. The Copperhead layout is medium-strong for me, and I don't think I'd lay very many balls out that strong either.
Keep in mind I'm talking about the pin distance from my PAP, not the position relative to the fingers, when I mentioned strong and weak. So maybe those layouts aren't as strong for you as they are for me. Personally, I would put the pin on the Siege in a similar position to your Copperhead if that's the ball you got, or anything similar to it. That is if you like how your Copperhead reacts for you generally. The weak ball I might even lay out similar to both those, or the same distance from PAP but lower. Just depends on the ball and my preference.
I play on three different lanes. It varies. I would say most of the time it is med-heavy at one house, med at the other, and med-light at the final one. So jigsaw may be a bit much for med-heavy huh?

Honestly from what your telling me I dont even need to be able to see you bowl to tell you the BWP is deffinately the best ball for you. I've seen this ball work for more people than any ball.

Well I have my very first ball ever, The Power Groove Reactive by Brunswick. The only time I use this ball is when the lanes are ultra dry.
The Columbia 300 action packed for low oil conditions, (hardly ever use this ball)
The black widow pearl by Hammer and the mars by Roto Grip. These are the 2 balls i use the most of all. They work the best for me on most lane conditions.
I also have the Hammer spare ball, the gray one with the spider on it.

Uhm.. 5 days ago you were looking for advice about buying a black widow pearl. 2 days ago you said you were still looking to buy the ball. You also said you were stepping up from a power groove. How can the two balls you use the most be one that you still hadn't bought as of 2 days ago, and one you never mentioned when you said you were looking to "step up" to a new ball?
What you're posting in a lot of different threads, along with the info in your profile, doesn't seem to add up.

Funny you say that, I did post a thread about getting a new ball. The reason I posted it was due to one of the moron in my league who persistantly told me that my BWP was useless and that I needed the BWV soo I posted a thread on it. I dont mind posting a pic of my BWP if this is an issue.
