Does an undersized ball feel and react different??
« on: August 17, 2008, 10:36:07 AM »
I am curious to hear everyones thoughts. I have a customer that has a 5.25" span and his ball is grossly undersized. He thinks it feels really different in his hand. Does anyone agree this is possible??  Also, One of the best bowlers in the 90's Mike Neumann told me once that he sands the labels off balls to make them slightly smaller because smaller orbs spin faster and helps control backend reaction. Does anyone agree or believe in this???

try reading again genius. PBA EXPERIENCE. this summer was my first league in 3 years and my first adult league period. i'll take 160 on PBAX my first summer bowling competitively because it was a CONSISTENT 160 average across the 5 standard patterns. thats all i cared about going in, being consistent.

so try kissing my a/s/s before you make stupid comments about my abilities before you read.

That is a lot of balls to own to average 161 in leagues. I would save your money and just use one. You can drill any ball to average 161. Try some lessons instead of buying balls.

I know the feeling of the 160 on PBA patterns, but you guys have no need to be rude to each other. So lets just make this a fun discussion. Oh who am i kidding  will we will just see what happens.

The problem has been fixed and the ball was replaced by my distributor. I was also contacted by the sales rep in my territory to discuss the problem. Whether Ric contacted the proper people to contact me or not. The problem was solved. I PM'd Ric the name and info as to limit the bashing for everyone. Ric was not calling me a liar. He is correct in stating that anyone can come out here and start name dropping or "I know this person or this person did that" type crap.

I still think the problem should have been fixed instantly instead of after public posts were made about the poor customer service.
