OK, here’s my first impressions. Fresh 40’ house shot. Both balls OOB finish.

BWP: To be honest, somewhat disappointing. It is by no means bad, but not exactly what I was hoping for. The ball did go longer, but it didn’t go as long as I wanted, and it surprisingly had more mid-lane than I thought I would. The backend reaction on this wasn’t as snappy either. But I might put an X hole in it to fix all that. Throwing this ball side by side with my solid at 2000 abralon, I am about 3 boards deeper with my feet on the solid. This is still a good ball, but it does have some pretty big shoes to fill.

I had thrown one a couple of weeks ago that was drilled very, very close to this one. But I have to assume that because of grip differences it skewed my ball reaction a bit. I did chicken out on this ball and didn’t do it pin down like I thought I was going to. So I set it up like my solid.

Anger: Holy shi-ot. This ball should be in everyone’s bag that bowls on anything other than a THS. This ball will tame alot of difficult patterns. It was setup to roll early and continuous and it didn’t disappoint. I think I even heard it laugh at carry down a few times. This ball will need some oil and if your bowling on a THS you better be comfortable moving in. Back to back with the BWsolid, I was at a minimum of 5 boards deeper. I think this ball is going to impress a lot of people.

I will try to get some video comparisons up in the next couple of days.

Definitely sounds like a good review for both balls.

About the BWP, many took the surface to a different level for a stronger reaction than their BWS.

The Anger sounds very nice. I'll be looking into another bowling ball here soon before the first MJBT of the season and before I leave for college.:D

I agree. Althought I dont really want it to be stronger. I would like it to be a little longer though.

Go put that X hole in the BWP and get back to us.Makes all the difference in the world.

The X-hole would make a stronger move. The only thing that I can think of is getting it plugged and redrilled with the pin a bit farther over the middle finger and having it higher to put the cg up for more finger weight for more length. Watch the finger weight though, too much and you will screw yourself.

Young...why plug and redrill a brand new bowling ball? I understand the logic here, but some balls require some oil on the coverstock to unluck their true potential. I certainly wouldn't plug a brand new ball because it didn't act as you had wanted right out of the box. Bluerrpilot knows this. I'm sure he'll give it more time, make some surface adjustments, and maybe punch the x-hole in it. Truth be told, never jump to conclusions with your bowling balls. Give them some time.

Repolished, super high gloss! Maybe some Power House Extender Polish.

There is about 1/2oz of finger already. Im sure the x-hole will work out fine

X2... But if I like somthing out of the box, I tend to like it until I'm done use it...

My BWP was not great for me out of the box, but it does seem to bet getting better. But I have changed the surface, several time.

The Anger and NMB are going to be a great compliment to each other.

No S#%T...How much could it cost to ship something to you? Or do you have to pay all kinds of duty fees and stuff.

Uploading video to You Tube now. Sorry I didnt get more shots with the BWP but I was having issues clearing my thumb and couldnt get a consistant release with it.

Also, this is my first attempt at creating a video like that so be kind. As I am very sensitive ;) Had to put some music in there too. Alot of screaming kids on the lanes this morning.
