Mega Friction... anymore reviews??
« on: February 03, 2009, 02:12:16 AM »
I am thinking of picking one of these bad boys up and was wondering how everyone is liking this ball? Anyone changed the cover?

I know its pretty new, but there are zero reviews in the review section so I thought I would ask here..

I'm just shocked that a video cannot be found of this ball yet!

I can move all the way in to 12 board with mine. Swing out to about 9-10 and it turns hard off of the dressing!

Christ the ball has only been out 10 days, Brit will most likely be the first to post one if he has had time to do a vid. Used mine last night for a game, standing 40 to 18 out to the 8 at 42 ft, back to the hole, ball is just a monster, covers boards like Pacman eating dots !!!!!

Steve,

Not asking for an indepth vid, just something with 3 shots or so is all. Very interested in seeing what this ball will do. We will probably have something after tomorrow, on the shark pattern at Box finish...

Well i'm not a staffer and not sellin these on ebay.. and this ball is the real deal. Only thing i've ever seen close is the reaction of a NIB black chaos when it was released back in the day. Not saying this is the best ball ever, just saying, the only thing the buyers need to "beware" of is the warning label on the ball.

I WISH i was a staffer!  Threw it last night for about 8 frames.  To much ball for our normal league shot which is normally med-heavy.  The few times i did throw it way out into the dry it didn't have enough left in the tank to recover, since it was trying to hook when i put it down.  Left two 8 pins in a row so it was pretty much DOA and deflected.  I pretty much knew i was going to have to up the surface, but had to throw it OOB lol. Im going to take it from OOB up to 3000 grit to get it to push a little more down lane and turn the corner harder, and see what that gets me.  Reports to follow next saturday.  This ball DOES and WILL hook

layout: pin over ring, cg stacked.

i drilled mine last night 5 x 5 placing the pin above and a little right of ring finger with pin stacked under ring finger no balance hole.   I tried it for two ball on my league practice thru middle where the oil is the heaviest.  We have a med to med heavy ths but it is extreme wet dry it is dense in middle and toast outside of 8.   I tried throwing it at about 20 and it puked at the dots before the arrows didnt even try to get into a roll.  Even with the pin being up it didnt even try to get any length.  It tried to hook as soon as it hit lane this ball needs oil and alot of it. I bought it for a flood ball for tourneys and got just that i am going out of state so i might find more oil when i practice this weekend i will update when i see what this ball can do on the given shot it is designed for.  I left it in oob finish.
--------------------
I want my share of the bounty but I cant find enough oil for this monster, i dont want to polish it cause it rolls so good now damn I hate dilemmas.


update......  I got the chance to throw my MF on a heavy house shot 42 ft with very dirty backends with carrydown from open bowling.  The ball was so powerful that it was hook settting.  First game I threw with it was 300  continued to throw it next game shot 255  was praticing with my little nieces so i only bowled two games.  ball needs much more oil but at least got to throw it.  Has very strong midlane grip and hits like no other can wait to find more oil for this beast to come alive.

Ok, I finally saw this ball in action! If I ever decide to bowl regionals then I would probably be getting one!
