So... There's been some looking on my part at other companies products in the last couple of months, and it was due to several things.
1. Didn't really match up with the newer releases (Dream, Respect, Moxie) and selfishly felt like I should. I had an idea on what the releases were supposed to do, and I just didn't put in the worm.
2. I didn't follow any of my normal rules. I didn't practice, or change surfaces, or anything. I threw them, didn't find them agreeable to me, and threw my hands up in the air.
3. Been going through some personal changes in my life, and bowling kind of fell by the wayside, which is new for me.
So, with all that out of the way, allow me to say this.
I've done a little work, and have decided that I will remain in San Antonio for the foreseeable future. Looking forward to giving my BR brethren the honest scoop on some pieces from 900 Global!
That being said, lets get down to some minor reviews!!
Dream - drilled 60*5*35 oob surface.
This ball is skid flip at it's most extreme. I couldn't use it on a house shot unless I took all of my hand out of it and played up the gutter. Haven't tried it yet on this particular condition, but feel like a longer pattern where you need recovery would suit this ball.
Dream On - Same drilling as the Dream. This ball was interesting. Expected it to check up earlier than it does, but it reads the mids well and when it hits... Well dang. Very strong through the pins, allows me a lot of mistaken room on long patterns ( I used it on Route 66 and it was great!) And on the house shots, I can get in and really wheel it. My favorite out of the newer releases. Ready to drill another 45*4.5*65 with more surface for floods.
Moxie - 60*5*40 no hole oob - Wow, is this ball early. I tried it on Route 66 and it burned up. Wow. Balls usually don't hook too early for me. Used it on a house shot, and it was as smooth as butter. Might put a low hole in it to separate the flares some.
Respect - 60*5*40 4000 grit. This is the polar opposite of the Moxie. Long and strong on the back. I hate 1500 polished, so I hit it with a 4000 pad. Read much better, but I think I need to keep my angles more in front of me with it. May need a hole as well.
All Day - 60*5*65 OOB. Talk about another smooth ball. I couldn't get this ball to jump off the spot if I tried. Very smooth, good hit. Actually read the lane a little earlier than the Moxie.
Night Hawk SE - 60*5*65 OOB. This shouldn't come as a shocker, but this ball is amazing. Clean through the fronts, reads the mids right, and more on the back end than any medium oil ball.
Boost Pearl - 60*5*35 OOB. Loved the Hooks, but the Boost is smoother off the spot without being too smooth.
