Hey Nick, did you or any one else here have any or heard of of any reported problems with the original Melee?
Now, im a proshop operator, so when the Brunswick/DV8/Radical Seminar came up to the New England Area (HARTFORD,CT) to promote last years lineup of balls, including the Melee, Mastermind, Ruckus, Dude, and Reax V2 etc. They had a little roll a way raffle in which i won a Melee, and I absolutely LOVE that ball. Basic 60/3.75/30 drilling but that ball gives me awesome everything. But now all the ones that we got in from our distributor (Bowlers Supply in York PA) apparently had coverstock issues
Not in terms of cracking or longevity.... But in terms of the ball not hooking an inch. It wouod flare like a SOB but would react on even the easiest of house shots like a mild core urethane.... I kept chalking it off to either bad bowlers, maybe my boss layed it out wrong for so and so, until i heard it from other proshops in CT, and even from the most loyal BIG B staffers... Was there perhaps a bad run that came through by mistake of the original Melees...?
Im wondering if thats perhaps a possibility, because as i said i got mine straight from the brunswick seminar, and its awesome, not to mention im a very low rev bowler.....
