The One and XXXcel package from Buddies Pro Shop
« on: November 06, 2005, 09:55:16 AM »
I just received and drilled the XXXcel and The One I received from Buddies Pro Shop.  This is a great two ball package.  

The XXXcel allowed me to play deeper through the oil and out to the dry on a house shot with tremendous success.  Ball drilled rev leverage for lower track bowlers. Not flippy but strong.

The One in box condition has tremendous back end when it hits the dry but skids too much in any oil.  It seems to have a little over under.  The ball is extremely powerful.  I might try the ball in box condition a little longer but might take it down to 1000 if I can't get a consistent reaction.  I drilled it as recommended by Chris at Buddies pro shop at 4 and 4 3/4.  The pi wound up under the ring finger and the MB about two inches right of the thumb.  A touch bit more then 45 degrees.  My pap is 4 3/4 and 3/4 up.  Pin was about 3 1/4.

All comments are welcome.

Thank you.

Thanks Triman.  I will give it a try.  The length is great, but the ball is a little squirty in box.

Thanks again.

I just went out and cleaned The One with Clean and Dull and an old grey scotch brite pad.  Then buffed it a touch.  Will that help with the over under reaction I seem to be getting with The One?

Thanks,

Just touching it up with the old grey SB pad should have been enough to remove the polish on that ball.  Clean and Dull's name is a little misleading since it really doesn't dull a polished ball, but when used with the SB pad as directed it will really clean out the pores and dull the ball up.

Should read the lanes a little earlier in the pattern now and not want to skid past the end of the pattern.
