Title: 857 with Melee
Post by: baer300 on December 10, 2013, 10:34:07 AM

Last Monday Night I had 290, 300 and 267 for 857. Used the Rico'd Melee all three games. This is my new personal best and the new House Record at that center. I had 28 in a row, another personal best... FIGJAM over, proceed with your day.

Great Bowling!  An 857 earns some chest pounding.

Nice shooting! I'm thinking about adding a melee. Are you throwing it with oob finish?

Thanks guys. The Melee is by far my favorite ball. It has replaced the Versa Max there. I am actually going to get a few more to drill.

I am using both of mine at box surface. you should get a Melee. I have thrown it on everything from 37ft to 45ft.

Very nice scores! I will have to take a closer look at the Melee.

Wow, great bowling Adam!

I just picked up a Melee and have yet to go toe-to-toe with my Versa Max, although I put a stronger drill on the Melee.  It definitely has a little more pop on the backend as reported. It appears to be another great ball that may be overlooked as it's not a big hook ball.  But it quietly goes about it's business and gets it done.  Your set is evidence of that!

Holy Schmoly that is a ton, congrats.  I once shot my personal best back in the 90's with a Brunswick Purple Rhino Pro.  I think that ball would still work today it was so awesome.

That is awesome!

Is that the same ball that gave Parker so much trouble in a TV stepladder?

Did not like the looks of it with that surface.  I have been so impressed with the Mastermind in Tom Smallwoods hands.

Rico drilled hmmm?

REgards,

Yes, Parker threw this ball on the Cheetah show. The TV show is contested on lanes installed in the convention center. He also used the Melee during qualifying which got him to the lead.

Mastermind is very strong and very versatile. You cant go wrong with either ball!!
