Interest in No Mercy...
« on: November 02, 2006, 12:23:37 AM »
I spent the day with my driller.
He's running a special $189.00 out the door for the NM.

He had 16 NMs. Received them Monday, and thought they would last about 2 weeks.
He had ONE laft yesterday!

As the first shift leagues came in to bowl...He had at least 10 people inquire about this new ball they heard about.

I haven't seen a ball generate interest like the NM, since the Columbia Yellow Dot or Sur-D-Pro.

I thought it was a lot of hype until I threw it.
I shot a 300, my driller shot a 300.

Jim Scott a 70-year-old PBA player shot:224-208-259-243-227-236-249. That is impressive for a 70-year-old bowler. (Of course he's a lefty ).

This ball is the real deal...Gets unbelievable length, recovery is stupendous.
Ball has great continuation through the pins...not a lot of corners were left with the ball. 8s and 9s were.

I've been teetering on getting this bowl for 2 weeks now.  I have a seek and destroy but it's such an early rolling ball with the particle it can be tough to control.  I like the idea of a 4000 grit ball so that I can play with the surface but I'm worried it will give me a similar reaction to my s&d.  I'm looking for length and snap (I know storm is the go-to company for this but I haven't seen a ball flip like this in a long time!) so right now I'm kinda teetering between the paradigm passion, the no mercy, or wait for the angular one.  Did the length hold for the whole night or did it break down?

Rich that's an awesome price for the NO MERCY'S.  I may have to take a trip to Bowling Green in West Chicago to grab one.

Ball kept it's length really well. Small moves left for righthanders through 6 games. 70-year-old lefty move left 2 boards and he was good for 3 more games.

I almost had one drilled up yesterday...but I had just picked up 3 other Lanemaster balls. I know balls aren't magic marbles...but this ball has my name on it.

The No Mercy is about the easiest ball to summarize:

Drill according to the Drill Sheet.  And have a nice day!!!


That should sum it up.

Frank, give Ed a call: 630-562-2117.

He's getting a new shipment in.
His special lasts until Thanksgiving, I think.

Jeremy,
The shot is pretty, brutally soft.
But so are a lot of shots that we bowl on today.

Eddie was lofting the cap his last game, for fun.

Jim Scott, misses everyone!

Jim was throwing BBs down 5.
