Terrible first night with the 3.5
« on: February 09, 2010, 03:11:49 PM »
here are a lot of varibles I know, but the thing I was counting on was the continuation selling point.  I could not get the 3.5 to read the break point.  If I slowed it down and with more fingers it reved up great hinted about making a move then didn't.

For those who care, I drilled it 45X4.5X70.  I know this drilling is ment to read the mid lane earlier then other drillings, but it wsa suppose to turn the corner with continuation eventually.  Not so.  I'll try it againi tomorrow with a heavier oil pattern but I have a Megaton drilled almost identical to the 3.5 and it hit the break point turned over and ran for the pocket.  So back and forth I went with the Megaton and 3.5 and I ws totally mistified that I could not get the ball reaction out of the 3.5 that I expected or that is touted.

The jury isn't out.  Just stating my first reaction to throwing the 3.5 for the first time.

Mine is 60*5 1/2*70 and its a beast, it works great at one house were the shot is a bit flatter and softer back ends. It is not useable at the wood house I bowl at, just to much over under. I tend to use more solids with a little surface at that house, didn't really expect it to work there. I think it will be awesome at nationals.
