My girlfriend is awesome . .
« on: March 01, 2008, 01:53:46 AM »
She bought me a Blast Zone about 3 or 4 weeks ago, and surprised me again with an Ultra Zone yesterday.  Just like somebody said in another post, it's a bit earlier with a hard arc than the Vapor Zone is, but goes a lot farther than the Blast Zone.  Mine reacts a lot like Nick's does in the video, very clean on the backends, and the moves with it are easy.  Even on old wood with really sharp backends, it doesn't burn up or roll out, it just keeps coming.  It's a ball you can stay firm with and trust to come flying back.  Mine is a 5 inch pin, psa is 6 inches from my pap down close to my thumb, no weighthole.  

She got an Avalanche pearl for herself, and I was telling her about the Ultra, that the colors were a bit similar and that I'd love to have one, then when hers came in and was getting drilled last night, there was an Ultra on the table ready to get punched, and I showed it to her, and she said, "Yeah, that's yours."  Hopefully I can win some money with it somewhere . .

You should supply the drillings and then take her out for a nice Italian dinner of meatballs and sausage. Or you could feed her the meatbals and sausage and then do the drillings. Your choice.

Lol, the drilling was included . .  She's freakin weird though.  She doesn't like getting stuff, she likes giving, and she was happier than I was about the whole deal, it made her happy that I was happy.  She's not dramatic.  She can kinda bounce off the walls and get emotional in a heartbeat, but she goes out of her way to stop a fight, doesn't look for a reason to get an attitude, and goes out of her way to make sure something that might be a misunderstanding doesn't turn into a fight.  And if we argue about something and I have a point, she apologizes and we make up . .  And as far as what I do for her, apparently I treat her better than anybody she's ever been with by a long shot, so that's what's doing the trick.  Lol anyway, about the ball.

Part of the reason she got me the Blast was that I gave her a couple balls.  Gave her a Special Agent, which she doesn't really use anymore since I gave her my Radical Inferno.  I had overlap with it, and it's great for her.  The Avalanche rolls a lot like it, just longer and stronger and less hook overall.  The Ultra was really out of the blue though.  Might need some surface work, it's a little too sharp for my taste, I like hard arc, so my pro shop guy suggested 1000 abralon which is probably what I'll do.  I've got enough games on it for it to develop a track, and on our synthetic shot, it's pretty dry, so I found out today that it burns energy quicker than I'd like on the transition at this particular house.  Plus on the other shot I bowl on, it's 41 feet of a lot of oil then sharp backends, could be an over/under nightmare or make carry fun, so just need to smooth it out a bit.  

Every once and a while you get a ball that seems to really pack that extra punch at the pins.  No, I'm not talking about a Lane 1 ball . . but this ball does that for me.  If I can keep it in enough oil down the lane to keep it from reading too much dry too quick, it really makes the pins explode.  My Blast is the best control ball I've ever had, and I think my Ultra is going to be the best shot abuser I have.  The Blast keeps me ahead on tighter shots, and my Ultra definitely has the hit to keep me ahead on carry contests too.  Lol, now I have to decide which balls aren't going to Nationals with me . .  I have balls I don't think I'll use, but that I absolutely know I can't leave at home.  Lol, what a sad dilemma.

Let me tell you from the other side of the equation.  She'll love diamonds no matter what she says now.  And if you give them to her "just because", its even better.  Stud earrings are always nice.

Please don't fall into the comfort zone of "I treat her better then anyone else has".  That may be true, but its not something to live up to.  Its a shame really because obviously she deserves much better then "I treat her better then anyone else".  Each of you should be treating each other better then you treat yourself and loving the fact that you do so.  Looks like you are on the right track and keep the balls rolling.
