Title: Ego
Post by: Krumpy300 on October 24, 2005, 03:54:52 AM

Don't see a bunch of reviews on it and I got one for a song on Ebay. How strong is it? From the few reviews I've seen, it looks like it revs pretty hard in the midlane.

Would it be considered a better medium condition ball?

Thanks for an info on it.

Medium to medium light.

Skiddy in box condition in the heads and mids with tremendous rev up.

Tremendous follow thru at the back on fresh.  Seems to back off a lot on carrydown.

For me this was one of those elusive high reaction balls that I threw a lot of outstanding strike strings followed by splits.

I've seen others seem to do better than me by putting the pin above the fingers.

Mine was below ring.

I finally had to divorce mine because of the elusive potential of this high testosterone bowling product!
 
On blended lanes this ball is an absolute killer!  And I killed em.

REgards,

PS it reminded me in an earlier revvin way of my Throttle R which I finally divorced also.  THe friend I traded with had this following week with his throttle/r(ego similar for me).  510, 788, 666, 508(tourney).

Get the picture?

Mine is between the finger holes, dead between them. Final drill was something like 5"x4"

Mine was good on medium-light oil. Not quite as hard hitting as my Track Soln PPEx. But good, nevertheless.

I still have mine and might dig it out to try again. It kind of went by the wayside as new balls "demanded" attention.

Thanks to both of you for the responses. They have recently dried up my only league and that's on fresh oil. I still think the Ego may be too strong. I recently put my Dr Jeckyll away so I can't believe that the Ego is weaker.

Thanks again guys.

oh no!  light particle mix.  I would cover the whole lane.

Reaction Rev core...also Shock, Richochet, now Action.

All same or varient of same fast revvin core!!

Vroom Vroom.

It will skid though light oil but you may have to cover a good amount of the lane!

I found could still hit under many lighter mediums...I would toss pins around like I was a cranker...or more!

There is no way you would describe me as a cranker but my Ego revs up so fast and makes such a strong move when it reads dry that it makes me feel like I am Mark Roth.

I think it helps--with this ball--that I don't have a lot of hand. The core does a lot of the work for me.
