Arsenal Hindsight (End of 2022) -
Phaze II: A great benchmark as it was smooth and hits like a truck, never had any issues.
Hy-Road: Used for when the lanes began to transition. Strangely this ball was very hit or miss, the backend reaction would sometime completely blow past the pocket ending in brooklyn. When it works it's awesome, looking into options to calm down the backend.
Rubicon UC3: Being a Two-Handed Bowler, "Urethane" is a naturally in the arsenal. Except rumor has it that this is actually a Fake-ethane ball. The ball still gave me the control I wanted, except I treated it more like a Smooth Resin ball rather than a Urethane ball. This ball was soon succeeded by the Purple Hammer.
White Dot: It's a spare, nothing much to be said
Conclusion: It was a fun arsenal to work with, definitely played with the safe "can't go wrong" bowling balls here as I was still somewhat new to the sport. Phaze II soon became too much ball to be a benchmark as I continued to polish up my game with higher revs and speed, for that the Phaze II will now be used for Heavy Oil. For the 2023 arsenal, there will be a shift down as I will be using much weaker balls to compensate for the high revs.
