Title: Did I just grow a new HAND or just have a BIG EGO?
Post by: LuckyLefty on March 24, 2004, 08:27:25 PM
Yesterday subbed in a league and bowled with one of the big handed left handed studs in our area.  He did prove to be a stud as he threw a 279 the last game and also struck out in the 10th in EVERY game for league.

Me I threw sort of like a dog, well, really like a dog.  However, I must say that on these flying backend conditions I ended up deep on these usually soupy lanes standing 29 throwing out to 9 at the 45 foot mark and thrashin the pins around with so much action I thought I might have been the strong handed guy on pair!  That EGO makes me look like a MONSTER!!!

Thank goodness I struck on like every ball that touched the headpin for the night.  The coverstock on this thing that UFD stuff grabs so hard on dry that it just amazes.  This type of inside line with a pin down 2 inch ball amazes me!

PS if you are looking for control this is not the ball.  If you want to open up the lanes and freewheel it you've got somethin here!

Yep LL, that tall angular weight block... I wonder what the Alter Ego is like? Probably pretty crazy!

Is it tall?  I think it is the churning burning turning Reaction Rev weightblock wrapped with this crazy UFD stuff.

I don't think it is the core my eyes tell me it is this crazy UFD coverstock.
It is not Ultimate Friction on Dry, it is Ultimate Friction on Dryer.  And it gets there quick!

When two balls I have hit the same point. The EGO invariably travels 6 inches more than anything else!

Curious... I haven't thrown COlumbia in a few years. Maybe I should try one again! The Alter Ego has that aasymetrical weight block, so it should hook even more!

I purchased an Ego about 3months ago and thats been the ball ive been using in almost every house here in town. its so smooth and hits like a ton of bricks! now thursday night i drilled up 2 Alter Egos. 1 w/ mb in track and the 2nd 1.5 right of thumb.

1- i shot 816 w/ this ball polished!!! out of the BOX!
2- this one was factory dull and its okay...im might give it away!

If u want a good combo set.. get the Ego and Alter Ego!
