Overtime
« on: August 01, 2006, 03:08:27 PM »
Just picked one up for cheap. I know this ball was overshadowed at the time when the One came out and the Big Time was still the hot ball but looking at the reviews looks like a nice, strong ball. I needed a new oil ball badly...nothing needed to be super aggressive but this ball I hear looks impressive. I haven't seen anyone throw one except Chris Collins on tv last season and he made it look sweet.

TJ made it look pretty darn good early in the season as well. His had some polish on it, but it was pretty hot... Of course he can make just about any ball look good, lol.

I think it's a good piece. One of the best mid-low priced solid reactives on the market.

Drilled 2 of them for myself when they came out.
One pin up 4.5" from PAP and factory polish over box finish.
the other pin down 4" from PAP with extra hole down and factory finish also.

Both ball roll extrememly well and make a nice strong arc to the pocket for medium to heavier volumes. The pin up ball reacts better later in the sets when the heads get a little burned up and there is a little carry down. Balls gets around the corner very well.
The pin down ball react great on the fresh heavier volumes. Nice and smooth reaction with no over jump and both have a very nice hit. A very good inexpensive ball for medium-medium heavy volumes.

We sold alot of them last year to people looking for a great value ball with top notch performance!

Would The SMASHTIME Offer the same value as the Overtime?

It's polished up but I do that to all my balls anyways. This should be a good replacement for my Apex Adrenaline which I sold. I can't wait to throw this mother.

i just got one for 10 on abay myself and its a decent ball for meds with dry. It doesnt have that over under that you get with the stronger balls . Its very playable when the lanes break down and you heavy stuff is nosing in a touch. Definitely not a ball for heavy oil with length but not bad for when the backends are a little drier or you have drier outsides.

sorry ten pins i have to def. disagree wit u. my overtime and the ball in general is STRONG. It should be used on medium/heavy oiled lanes. when it starts to dry out u might have to put it up cuz it's hard to keep on the lanes sometimes.

I shot some big game with this ball so far and I love it. What a smooth roll it has. Reminds me a little of my Vortex II but hooks a little earlier and smoother.

I've seen this ball in action and it hits very hard. i was very impressed with the reaction that i saw with this ball. it is very similar to the big time sanded but i think it is a little better. it works very well on oil. Tommy Jones threw this ball on the season opener of the tour this season. he was ripping the hole. he swung it out to about the 3 board and it came roaring back. this ball is one of the sleeper balls that you can get for cheap

Tommy Jones used one during the Tulsa Championship when he beat Chris Barnes and Wes Malott.
