THB's and the One
« on: February 02, 2006, 09:38:57 PM »
There are 5 people in our league (maybe more) that recently picked up The One, but here's what I'm seeing......all but one have the box surface....and they're having a nightmare!! x, split, x, split, x split, etc, etc.,et.....

This is fresh,....med. - medium-heavy ....you can't use 4000 + factory polish on this shot folks!!!!!!

Anyhow....what are you guys seeing ?

I had mine drilled pin above bridge and mb kicked right with a weight hole just below PAP. I tried various angles, speeds, and releases in OOB. It always turned out the same though, that when I hit the pocket it would leave either a nice wide split, or or would take out the 1 and 3, and all the pins in the back leaving 2,4,7 on one side and 6 & 10 on the other. It had so much forward roll to it that it blew the pins straight back, rather than creating any semblance of pin action.

Hey everyone, I've had mine for over 2 months now.
I used it in 4000 OOB Polished for the first 3 weeks,
then I went to my buddies house and we tweaked the cover.

It is now approximately at 800-1000 grit.

OOB Polished, I did experience the splits and sleeper leaves.
The surface was just to shiny and wouldn't recover on carrydown.
This sucker does pack a lot of punch though when it encounters dry.
You'll see a variety of leaves in the Videos.

Scuffed up, It can read the mids better and isn't as Sharp on the
backend. Still retains a lot of hitting power and a tamer backend
reaction. Here are a couple of Videos I posted in this Forum in the
Past. You can get a better look at how this ball reacted for myself.

Right now, I like this ball on Medium-Heavyies the best. I get good
read in the oil and great recovery on the back. I wouldn't mind
picking another one up and keeping it polished with a different
layout.
