Hi guys,
Happy New Year.
Very impressive first Bite pass around tonight. Wood lanes from 1962....pretty big top hat lane condition to start because the track blows open with about 5 units outside 8 but very little friction on the wood out there, so I can play up the boards without it over reacting.... Drilled it up box finish, pin directly under the fingers on the midline, MB kicked out to 60 degrees, CG was offset on the mb/pin line about an inch left so it's under the palm but still right of CL....I'm kind of speed dominant with a little too much tilt and axis rotation...... picture a little more speed and tilt on Danny Wiseman and you have a good idea of how I throw the ball....
I let a better hand than I have throw it first to convince myself the ball would hook. He tossed 5 out of 6 with it before leagues. I let one of my teammates (300/800 with my No Mercy last year) who has heavy end over end and a very high track check it out during practice...3 strikes....I got to throw it 3 practice shots..all strikes.....game one started for me, front 9, yank 4 pin - 279. Game 2 ....double, smash 10, sheet...279....started thinking the house record a possibility again (oops!), 3rd game, transition time!... earlier break outside, around 6, but with carry down towards ten inside... tap 10, a missed spare, adjust high, adjust again - chop the bucket, adjust slam split, muddle along making good moves left with less hand and more reach and still slamming but no string...oh well..right lane became finicky..still a strong first showing - 740 total....passed it around some more after we got done to the opposing team....
This ball makes a super quick transition from axis tilt to heavy roll. The cover reminds me very much of the Pain cover (which I can really use as a selling point) , yet this ball reacts nothing like the Widow solid or the Widow pearl. I think might be good around here. Where the Pain flipped, stood up and rolled heavy, almost flattening, this ball stands up the same and then flares to keep it going! Very interesting entry angle....Where the Widow solid made a sharp move and stopped, this ball continued....
Unlike some high end balls in the past, like the One, No Mercy, Gamebreaker, Widow solid, Hawgzilla, I hope this cover maintains the bite I saw tonight for awhile and doesn't require the same high maintenance as those balls. Most bowlers just will never keep the cover as clean and oil-free as those balls require and thus become disappointed. I hope this cover stays as tacky as it is now and not lose that "Bite"! It REALLY reminds me of the Pain, but with more continuance...
This ball will get a VERY long look and numerous pass-arounds!
Looks like another big seller for me and a ball I can manipulate for my customers! Thanks guys!!!
