OK, OK, Mike..........
First, about kicking the cg out and no extra hole. This is usually done to allow for an extra hole later if you want to tweak the balls reaction. (By kicking it out slightly but not to the point of having to have one it leaves some side weight that allows you to use a hole if you want)
Yes, Duke and Amletto were throwing Brunswick equipment whenever I saw them bowling. (*disclosure: I don't know what they were using the whole time as I wasn't watching them every shot
) I remember seeing Duke using an Ultimate early and an Absolute later in the block. Amletto tried an Impulse Zone early but I also saw him using his Absolute as well.
All I can tell you from watching some of our staffers and some of the independents.........the Absolute looks awesome!!!
Off to watch the head to head matches.........
