this is my second review of this ball, its been few months and my game changed a lot (no more 2hand because of 2 reasons: 1-theres not enough oil, 2-my lower back was killing me). Also, i left this ball at home for a good amount of time but i somehow tried it during the week and i used it today for my gold pin league, results were unbelievable.
my spec: tweener, about 19-20 km/h (not sure but thats what the lane says)
pap: last time measured it was 3 right and 1 up (at least on this ball)
ball: didnt plug and redrill, so its still the same, ping above the bridge and cg in the palm. xhole about 4 inch to the right of the center of grip (driller didnt measure my pap at that time, just put a hole there to balance), OOB with some factory polish (i dont have spinner so put the polish with hand
)
pattern: 38-40 feet, with good amount of oil in the middle and dry outside 8, pretty much THS, freshly oiled for our league.
line played: i usually start playing it around 10-4, 10-3, whenever i see it moving too much i move left according how i feel atm.
game 1: practiced for 15 mins (warm up) and decided to go with this ball. It readed good, and made a very aggressive move to the pocket. started little bit to the left side of my practice line, playing around 12-4, 12-5. The midlane had oil so it skid for about 42 feet and bang! had some marging of error, so i could miss little bit on the break point and still hit pocket, it was one of those games that i just couldnt miss the pocket. front 7, bad shot leaving 3 pins on the 8th and striked out for 277
game 2: against the left wall, plus a very sticky ground at the foul line, the infinite one was hooking out of the house, but still had a good look. Had to move out of my comfort zone, wanted to put it away but i knew it was more mental than ball problem. few splits and i ended with a 165. It was one of the games that the ball was not the problem but i was, but i couldnt do much since if i move left, i'll kick the wall on my left and if i stay i wouldnt be able to keep it on the left of the headpin.
game 3: back to my comfort zone (lanewise, since theres no wall on my left side) the lanes were breaking down for me faster than what i thought, so after one shot i immediately moved left a big step. Then i was playing 15-4, 15-5, pretty much the same shot as in the game1, but with carry down i was seeing some over/under reaction, but the infinite one was very forgiving this time. No splits and consistent with spares gave me a 213.
game 4: b4 i step on the lanes, the other team's low bowler went for his first shot and got stuck on the approach, my partner (low bowler) went for his shot and also got stuck, with both of them playing a similar line, i knew i was going to stuck if i go around that area, so i went for a inside angle, playing 20-4, 20-5. i got a very nice look out there, but after few shots i realized i didnt have that much hand to make it back. few ppl asked me why i was giving up such a nice line and i told em, i was not feeling comfortable with it after 5 frames. took my storm recharge and it was hitting nothing close to my infinite one, but i was getting strikes somehow, so i stayed with it (struck the last 6/7 shots leaving a 10 in the last one) 238 for the last game
i never imagined that i was going to have such a nice look with the infinite one, from the initial line and all the way to the left it was just very hard turn into the pocket, forgiving when i pulled it and missed inside. When i thought i just lost the reaction on the infinite one, i came back and shot my highest series of the whole season (223 average in 4 games)
if u do have some hand and looking for a versatile ball, this will amaze u.
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment
When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.
