AMF Top Notch Again
« on: August 27, 2008, 05:26:01 AM »
I would like to thank Eric Thomas for being such a good guy, I had a Radar that cracked the entire ball that I had bought about 9 months ago.

I emailed him about the situation and he wrote me back within a few hours and asked for photos, well he then asked me which ball i wanted to choose from and listed the Nkryption Code as one of the choices.

I actually chose the Nkryption Code and sent him the spec's I hoped for and within 1 week a ball with exact specs showed up to my disbelief. If it was 0-1 it would have been fine with me, but this shows you the AMF team is run by a class act Eric Thomas.

Well I had it drilled pin over ring 4 3/8 to pap and the mb is right and below my thumb, let me tell you this ball is a huge winner. The ball handles medium to medium-heavy oil and has tremendous back end reaction, I shot 256 and 236 in games 1 and 2 for sweepers, I fell off game 3 to 196 with a Mystic after a huge fight on the lanes with my wife.

This ball is the real deal it looks like a half solid and pearl to me with the green pearly looking cover and the burgandy being solid. Revs up nice and hit is way above average hits like a mack truck for all you fans of that saying hahaha



I did take second with 0 handicap

Eric also helped me with a ball crack.  I appreciate his help, and will buy more AMF/900 Global products in the future.  Let me also point out that my Radar, Radar Lock, Creature, Creature Pearl, and Nighthawk were all and still are long lasting, easy to maintain pieces of equipment.   Joe

I wish AMF wasn't as overlooked as they are, because they are making awesome equipment, along with 900 global. They also have great people that help you with their products.

At the moment that is all i have been buying other than an Uprising

Mainzer,

Don't be nervous, give AMF a try.  The Nighthawk, Nighthawk Pearl, Heist, and Code are all great choices.

About what?

AMF bowling balls have been good for a long time. Unnoticed, unappreciated, yes, but still good. Maybe Columbia may have mismanaged the coverstocks BASF were able to provide them, but somehow, AMF has matched their covers to their cores, as their designers have changed over a few years time now. While everyone has stinkers now and then, some more often than others, AMF has minimized theirs for a long time.

Want a true "Retro" ball, try a Villain.
Want a dry lanes ball, try an Orbit.
Want a benchmark ball, try a Code.
Want a strong, reliable backend medium-heavy oil ball, try an EnKryption.

Want a proven ball, dig up a Radar or a Radar Lock or a Radar Alert. Incredible core that works with many coverstocks.

I think AMF deserves to be considered in the same vane as Roto-Grip: small, underappreciated but proven, time and again.

Sorry to ramble on.

charles, benchmark can go to code or heist

--------------------
Im so glad people are brainwashed to think that TRACK sucks. And its even funnier when im carrying with my TRACK ball and they're going flat ten with their BRUNSWICK ball.

Not arguing just making some reasonable suggestions.
Don't want to get into a debate about which might suit a particular purpose better. Only attempting to get a fence straddler to "come on over".

A major fight in the alleys that affected your scores.  For many bowlers it would be time for a new wife!

Give AMF a shot,
I currently have the NHP, Code, and the Heist and all are there with the performance of other companies.

We have totally revamped the line and I feel it is the strongest from top to bottom.
My bag consists of the an Angle pearl,New Orbit xtreme, the villain, the code and the Nkryption
The performance of each perfectly matches up to the ball before and the ball after, really have no guess work when making moves or predicting performance.
The Angle has an F25 coverstock rating and is 3 piece
 the orbit has a stronger shell than in the past, the core is one I developed years ago and was used in the Track Heat, we now added the same cover formula that made the heat so successful rated at F35
The Villain has an F45 cover rating and is my favorite core of all times, used in the Dynothane Vendetta, Track Elite Performance is same as the 44 MAG was for D/T only in a solid shell. Pearl to follow.
The Code is the benchmark ball of the line F65 rating strong mid lane lots of continuation down the lane
the Nkryption is a mild asymmetrical with an F70 rating and lots of pop down the lane, strong enough out of the box for most medium to heavy conditions but lots of hook with surface adjustments.
