Title: Is the Detour that good?
Post by: thedjs on August 22, 2004, 10:53:15 AM: Almost everything I've read about the Detour has been positive. Is it really that good? Would it be a good replacement for a red Pulse or is it stronger?

Thanks for the help.

Just bowled today in practice guy on right had his round smooth curving pulse I had my sharp flippin Detour. I was better as pattern started out long and then he got better.

Get it!

Having seen you throw on more than one occasion, the Detour would be a perfect compliment to your game. With your powerful, high-rev release, the Detour would crush the pins. Come to think of it, any ball in the current Columbia line-up would compliment your striking style.
