I have my Sniper now!
« on: January 27, 2006, 01:35:22 PM »
I haven't thrown it yet, but I fully intend to!  My only complaint at this point is that the colors don't really look ANYTHING like the picture.  It's more a copper/brown than a bright orange/black like the pic!  Oh well.    As long as it rolls well!

That happens with a lot of Dyno-Thane Equipment...it just doesn't look like the picture...some look better, some look worse.

Ali G: Do you think all girls should try feminism at least once? Do you think it's right that they should try it when they is drunk at a party or what ever with one of their mates?
Sue : What is trying feminism?
Ali G: You know try a bit of feminism and when they is sober wake up in the morning and get back with their boyfriend?

Yeah, my Thing Lives is nothing like the picture.  The website shows big blotches of color and mine is pretty well mixed.  It's also MUCH darker than the online picture indicates.  I was surprised that it's so different.

I really like the colors in my Sniper, then again I added high gloss compound, really brightened mine up, made the ball much more attractive.

Pretty is nice but it doesn't make the pins fall any more frequent, they tell me it's the operator's fault.

Dazzle those pins!

Maybe they'll just faint cuz of how pretty the ball is that's coming at them.

Well, my first two game with the Sniper in practice were a 192 and a 212, pretty good numbers for me.  I'm not real sure what kind of shot was out there, though, as it was the middle of the day today.  Depending on how it looks in leagues on Tuesday, I may put a coat of polish on it.

Probably messy left overs...the sniper should do better even on a fresh shot

I'm not great at judging what kind of shot is out there as of yet.  I really had no idea.    I believe they had some youth leagues in the morning, but I'm not sure.  I started out playing around 10, but the ball wasn't turning over so I moved a bit further outside, to around 7-8, and the ball started coming to life.  The hit was great, and I'm also happy because I just started going to a new driller and my fit seems great.  It's set up 3 3/8 X 4, or close to it, with the pin falling just below my ring finger and a bit right, and the cg is to the right and above my thumb.  There is no X-hole, but my new driller said he left room to put one if necessary, but I'm not sure what an X hole would do.  Any help there?
