As a preview, and to test a different web platform since putfile.com seems to have some problems lately, here a link to a video of my latest addition: a New Standard², almost drilled label leverage:

http://de.video.yahoo.com/watch/3283661/9245302

The video was taken last week on a 39' medium pattern with 23ml of oil (oil graph included) im my club house with brand new Brunswick lanes. I used a wide range of "shot qualities" - just like an "average bowler", to provide a realistic impression

As a novelty, I made took some footage shots close to the back end and pit area, for better close-ups on the ball's final reaction and pin impact.

Besides some general ball reaction views I tried to make a comparison with my benchmark Frankie May Gryphon, but I suppose that the reaction differences are hard to tell due to the resolution.
Interesting: both balls play similar lines, feet at about 24th-26th board and between 2nd and 3rd arrow, with a breakpoint pretty close to the gutter. But the NS2 would read the lane much earlier than the FMG, and show a kind of hook-set reaction in the back end, while the FMG has more length and back end (due to its shinier surface and the stacked drilling).

Enjoy (?), a review is about to come but will take some more testing of the nice piece on different lanes.

Thank you very much!

I hope I can boil down impressions and information so far that the format becomes useful. I also thought about omitting the positive side view, since it does not look spectacular and as if I only have 50 RPM on the ball. But since you can see when and how the coree revs up, I included it.
