Element Au79
« on: June 05, 2004, 04:55:12 AM »
How are people liking this ball? Ever review on the ballreveiws section has been pretty well. I am thinking about getting this ball for my house shot (medium oil, sometimes a little higher). Whats the best layout for this ball? My favorite drilling is a nice arc, is this a good drilling for the ball?

Halloo Brent.
I have had this ball a few weeks and only played about 20 games with it, but
let me tell you, if you get this one, you have a winner in your hands.
I am a stroker, med. speed, med. revs. The lanes I play are a shorter type of PBA pattern C, the drilling is 3 3/8 x 3 3/8 pin one inch over fingers. At first, I was not to impress with it, but knowing that dyno´s need a few games to come alive, I did´nt care. After 16 games I was getting worried,the ball was strong and carried well, but it did not seem to turn the corner. A few days later I tryed it out again, only playing first shots, and now this monster came
alive. It carried everything. After three games I looked at the screen and noticed that I had a score of 669. Not bad considering I did´nt throw a singel
spare-shot.
In my opinion this must be the best ball ever made.
With my drilling it goes long makes a smooth left turn and just explodes in the rack.
Carry-down does not seem to concern it at all.
Minor release-errors are forgiven.
It carries on almost every kind of hit, light, flush, or high.
All in all, it is very smooth, forgiving, predictable and extremely strong.
Get one, you will not regret it.

Thanks Lobo, I am going to order one from my pro shop and have it drilled for something like yours was, and I will keep in mind it needs a few games to start getting warmed up, thanks again

I highly recommend the AU 79 also.   I have mine drilled with the pin under the ring finger and and the CG kicked outside the thumb hole area. Great mid lane ready with a big backend.  I am having lots of success with it on my sport condition league.  42 ft of oil, gutter to gutter.

I am not sure what this pin next to w/e means, what exactly does the ball do? I just ordered one from my pro shop and I am wondering what the best drilling is for this beast
