Infinite One - drilled with pin above bridge and bomb placed 1.5-2" right of thumb (parallel). I left it at 500 abralon (OOB) but I shined it up with ebonite factory finish.
This ball has bite on the back end. I was impressed with the continuous movement. I compared it to my One, I stood 7 boards left w/ the infinite. The layouts are not similar but to be able to cover that much more area was great. This ball was very clean through the front. (Fresh 6pm house shot)

SR300 - pin above ring finger, bomb 1-1.5" right of thumb (parallel) w/ 6 inch weighthole to make side weight 0. Polished with ebonite factory finish.
This ball was very smooth up front with an arc shape on the back(by drilling design). The ball revved up nicely in the midlane and had plenty of stored energy on the back. I was able to get further right with this ball as it set up nicely in the pocket.

Nice shot with the SR300. Looks like it def. clears the heads easily.
What were the lanes like that day?
I didn't get to see the Infinite clip, something weird happened with Media Player, I'll try again later.
P.S. When you polished with Ebonite Factory Polish, did you put a good amount of pressure on the ball or did you just get enough on it to add to the factory finish?
Thanks!

The swing planes of the brothers' Smith look very similar, Paul looking like the smoother of the two however. The SR300 looked awesome. At first I thought the ball burned a bit early and arced but after viewing about 10 times it was reading the fronts very well and still gave some pop downlane. Looks like something I may have to invest in. I just hope it fits in with the slew of Ebo's I'm about to pick up at the end of this month.

I think the way this guy walks to the line is very interesting. Good in some ways and bad in others. I drift right big time. I'd like to fix that. I think perhaps I can emulate what appear to be to be the good parts of this guy's footwork to help control my drift. What I like about his footwork is the way he turns his foot right and keeps it turned right as he steps. That makes his right foot drift left, automatically avoiding the ball on both the down swing and up swing. That left drift is then fully compensated by the standard left foot movement to the right (to the center) during the slide step. But I think he over does it -- to the point where he actually has to move his left foot around his right foot on each step rather than move it straight forward. In any case, it's both interesting and thought provoking.
