Title: Xcel particle
Post by: jkiser01 on March 04, 2005, 12:20:35 AM
I had been contemplating drilling one of these up since they first came out but didn't have the chance until I picked a NIB up this week for $80 bucks..

I was able to use it for the first time last night in league on fairly heavy oil. I shot 201 280 203 = 685. I missed 3 single pin spares or my series would have been 30-35 pins better. Oh well.. I drilled it pin above ring cg out and the bomb just right and down for the thumb hole.. With this drilling I get a very smooth arcing type reaction, which is what I wanted out of this ball..

I highly recommend this ball to anyone considering it..

If they only made a ball that would carry that da_n 7 pin (and I am right handed!!)

Jim you would also like the xxcel i just got it sharper backend on same patterns and the xcel pearl on dryer patterns but take off factory surface on pearl. I have shined my xxcel and xcel and did not lose many boards of hook gained another 5 feet and now more pronounced hook pattern still hard arcing.

I should have a Big Time by the middle of next week also should be a great ball from what i have seen at my bowl. It seems we always like the same stuff like the dirty bomb from lane 1 and other stuff you have posted about. We also did not like the same WMB i bought from you also lol it did not hit as well as i thought even with a different drilling.

That drilling sounds very similar to the way mine is drilled.

In comparison to the Ultimate Inferno is the read and roll farther down the lane for the Xcel? I have both undrilled for a guy and thinking of going Ultimate for earlier read and the Xcel for farther down. I think he would like the XXcel better for later turn but i don't think he wants to wait.
