tpc player mini
« on: October 26, 2004, 08:16:46 AM »
I thought i'd post a mini review for anyone that is looking at these balls on ebay. My ball was drilled pin under bridge, 5 inches from pap, with mb around 40 degrees (between thumb and val).

This ball has the most midlane of any ball i have ever seen! it has the most unique look on the lane of any ball that i brought with me to practice with today. It gets through the head relatively good, starts revving up pretty early, keeps revving, and revving, and then all of the sudden it makes a nice strong finish to the pocket.

I was bowling on a ths oiled to 41, buffed to 45, isnt a dry pattern by any means, and this ball handled the condition very nicely. This would be a nice ball for anyone looking for something with a lot of control, yet still has something on the backend. Looks to be a great ball for tighter conditions when everything else is uncontrollable.

Great buy for 52 shipped, 40 drilling $92.00 total! This ball reacts somewhat similar to my monster bruis/r that i had sanded to 800, drilled label.

This one is becoming my control ball for wetter conditions (not a flood, but heavy mediums), sort of like a Tour Power for oil.

I get the feeling this one will take on a totally different character with different layouts.

Mine is about a 5" pin to PAP, 135 degrees with the PSA in the track. It has noticeably more length than a V2 at an equivalent surface. It's not quite as much ball overall as V2, but I like it better.

Midlanes are a real strength for this ball. In the mids, it reminds me of the way the Inferno rolls up strong, only the Player handles a little more oil. The backend is an arc with as much pop as you choose to give it.


Yes, your ball sounds exactly like mine. Control at its best is what i see from this ball, even with the strong mb placement (probably due to the fact that the mb is weak in this ball). Thanks BrianN for posting your various reviews on the ball, as it convinced me to get the ball to fit a spot in my arsenal and it fits perfectly!
