Columbia Alter Ego
« on: August 16, 2009, 08:48:23 PM »
After working on my game for a while, I took my old Alter Ego with me to practice...was I surprised.  This ball is a house shot monster.

Thought I'd share a little video of it...

One of the best all around sport condition balls of all time.

Good video.  Only well intentioned criticism. I'd work on your slide foot and get it more square to the foul line than pointing at your intended trajectory.

Thanks Scott.  I have plenty of areas to improve...I've come a long way but still have a very long way to go before I'm where I'd like to be.  All constructive criticism is welcome.  Thanks again.

leftyinsnellville,

It's only meant as constructive.  Take a look at hookin' Bob Handely he's a lot like you are so maybe this will work for you.  I am more like Dave Arnold also in the video.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYNnH53RKic

Check hookin' Bob's slide foot if you get a chance watch both parts of that video on youtube lefty.  Same type of style w/ slide foot.
