Chossing a ball
Question
I am a 68 year old senior ball with arthtitic knees. My ball speed is slow(11 to 12 mph at a house with a ball speed indicator) and I do not have a high rev rate. Currently, I throw either of 2 balls depending on the lanes. For drier lanes I use a Hammer Rayzr and on heavier oil I use an old Storm Paradigm. I am looking to upgrade The Paradigm to something newer. My preferred line is straight down the 7 to 10 boards, but I can move in as far as the 15. I can also throw a consistent shot down the 12 to 13, but if I hit the pocket 10 times in there, I'll leave 8 ten pins. Can you recommend a new ball for me. Bear in mind that I'm on a less than fixed income, so I need to stay in the 100 to 125 dollar range.
Answer
Jerry,
No idea what stuff might cost where you live. The Paradigm is a high end product from 2005-2006. You might find something comparable at one of the local shops, if you call around and ask if they have something comparable that's been discontinued and the price reduced. Get some options and drop a follow-up note.
Thanks for your question. Good luck.
