A video I put together last Saturday - since I reactivated my "Lemmi" (due to a crack of its predecessor, my XXcel) I felt it was about time to pay some tribute to this great piece, one of the best balls know and still a force on today's lane (just came home from elague and made a 197 avg. through 5 games with it - I love it and fear the day when it will pass away...)

Enjoy:

BTW: the first six strikes in the video were consecutive, just in the first game I taped. I just cut the material down and changed their sequence, the "cleanest" first and the uglier ones to follow

I'd like to hear some comments about the video's format - not my style, that's rather poor, but I am working on it. I tried to put good shots, bad shots and a direct ball comparison into it.
It has become 4:30 in length and was taken on a virgin 37' THS situation Saturday morning, plus some shots from last year (on too dry lanes for the ball, you can see it) where you can see well how the core migrates towards its PSA on this strong piece. Therefore, I omitted shots from the positive (left) side onto the ball on the lane.

Do you think this "format" is generally helpful? I guess the only thing truly missing is a lane graph? Thanks in advance!

No opinions, also concerning the basic/general topic of "user videos" and how to set them up properly for some valid insights? I am surprised...

Stop bowling at once!

Stop making them at once!




Just joking!

"Nice roll this ball has! Nice Slide YOU have!"

my old pal Yoda would say.

Me slide proud of is 1 year ago, there was none, just bug stomping at the foul line... But I resisted the dark side of the hook and even though my delivery looks wodeen at times, things have improved a lot through slight adjustments and simply better mechanics. Thanks!

Oh, thanks a lot , LL. But I am a big fan of that ball, too. I was just too late when it still was on sale (but it was also too expensive for my taste) - so I was lucky to get mine through ebay, from a lefty with low mileage. Except for the plugs my Eliminator had a virgin track and was as good as NIB.

The Fuze Eliminator: Ugly, underrated, but a true force, even today. VERY good ball.

If you love the fuse eliminator, try and find a AMBUSH! They are still out there, and usually on clearance.

No match! The Eliminator is a stronger solid. Even the new Sidewinder is IMHO not "enough" to catch up with it! But thanks for the tip
