one to go long and then snap
one to maximun hook
one to go straight
changing the layout and the surface..would this be possible with 3 absolute or do u have another alternatives???
is the absolute the best bowling ball in the market right now???
i am wondering this because is very strange that all the pros that are free agents that could drill whatever they want they re drilling this ball and with a lot of succes

I do beleive the Absolute will be a ball alot of people buy, but I hope its not because of all of its success on TV.. The ball is not as important as the skills of the person throwing it..

i just figure that they (norm,amleto,devaney)didnt reach their talent right now,they had the same talent when they were bowling with amf and track and could not win
thats why i thought this ball could really be an introduction on my arsenal...not that i wanna bowl like amleto because i have the same ball...i just wanna to maximize my game.

That said, some balls are very good for certain bowlers on certain oil patterns.
I wonder how much of this current situation has to do with the PBA using Brunswick oils?
(No, I don't know; I really just wonder.)

You could say, go figure, or maybe there is something to it. Who knows, food for thought i guess.

There is no Best Ball.
Being brunswick, being on the show 2 weeks in a row, it could be the most sought after ball, the most popular ball.
But what does that have to do with you and your needs? FInd out what type of ball you need (NOT want), then find out which makers produces that type of ball, then seek out reviews, both here and elsewhere, seek out local people usingthat type of ball and see what success they are enjoying. One buys a ball reaction for an oil pattern for your release; one does not buy a ball. YOur three categories are not appropriate: hook, snap and straight. HONESTLY.

i could not make it any simplier
one to play a straight shot
one to play a hook shot on heavy oil
and another one to a conventional house shot...go long and the hook
my questiuon was...is the absolute a versatile ball to make these 3 kind of shots with diferents layouts and surface...yes or no

As far as the rest of the reputation of the ball, I've got a wait and see attitude. the people I've seen so far throwing the absolute have games that far surpass mine.
I'm going to wait to see how the people who throw the ball more like us mere mortals like the ball, and what they're able to do with it, before I order one.

I've watched a number of bowlers of varying styles throw the Absolute out here, and spoken with them about the experiences they've had with the Absolute as well as how it compares with their other equipment. Almost to a man, they believe that, while the Absolute does fill a niche, the Impulse Zone is a better all-around ball because of its ability to handle a wider variety of lane conditions.

You must have spoken to fluffers, or your local conditions must be very slick. From what I've seen (and used), the Impulse rolls earlier, revs harder, and hooks MUCH more overall than the Absolute.
No and no. To be specific, I know three people who have thrown both the AI and the IZ. I may have mentioned this in another post, but here goes again. One is a classic tweener, one a power-tweener with above-average speed, and one a slow-hook stroker. For them, it wasn't so much that the Impulse was earlier as that the Absolute was pushier in the midlane, and that the Absolute was far more abrupt off of the break than the Impulse. Because of this, it was harder for them to read the transitions when using the Absolute.
That's not to say that, with different drillings and/or surface preps, these bowlers couldn't use the Absolute to greater effectiveness. However, I have to call 'em the way I see 'em. Now that the shops have the Absolute, I'm sure I'll have ample opportunity to watch both balls in action even more.

No offense is intended to anyone, and once again this is only the opinion of some 17 yr old kid. NOT a coach or otherwise qualified individual.
Everyone will have a different opinion on any piece of equipment(not just bowling balls)that they use based on two major factors:
1)How well or poorly it has worked for themselves.
2)How well or poorly they have seen it work for others.
This is supplemented by many minor factors that also help to form an opinion:
1a)How the equipment matches their style of play.
1b)How the conditions are set up relative to their style.
1c)Previous experiences with similar equipment.
2a)How another player's style matches their own.
2b)Other player(s)opinions on the same/similar equipment.
As well as probably a multitude reasons that I cannot define but somehow belive exist.
In my opinion a piece of equipment such as a bowling
ball would have to be a statistical masterpiece thatnever made an error in performance in it's time on the market in order to be considered the best piece of equipment in it's field.
ANYWAY... I love the AI based upon all of the above listed factors, however I have a low average (169) and only bowl in one league a week so I could be misleading anyone who reads this.
Hope this helps someone except me.
Sincerely,
