no mercy clean is mean
« on: April 16, 2007, 09:26:35 AM »
I was bowling yesterday on a perfectly prepared 38 foot house shot.Newer synthetic lanes and i was able to get a pretty good read on my stuff. I played around with lines and hand positions and balls then i picke up my no mercy. I thru 2, 7 10s,and countless ten and seven pins.Since i was practicing i decided to clean the no mercy and see what it would do.

   My no mercy is already at 1000,but how i clean it is with a green scratch pad and some brunswick cleaner that i picked up at k-mart, its good stuff.After i cleaned it i thru the next nine.
   Morale of this story is clean it every time you use it.This balls reaction changed so drastically that i was no less than shocked.the same shots that i left pins with before carried,shots where i didnt think the ball would get back it roared back like a lion.Since i cracked it (while cleaning it) it has trully been the ball i had been looking for.Now i am wondering if its the crack or not. The crack goes from the middle finger to the thumb,I know its not leagle ,but i am not shooting any tourneys with it. Now i think i want another one.

If your cleaning the ball with a green scotchbrite pad then your changing the surface to 600 grit.  That's very dull for this ball.  I'm surprised it's not burning up for you.

HAMMER NO MERCY is Un-freaking real!  Using this ball is like cheating!

it is pretty condition specific ,but i dont need ot for anything but heavier shots.38 ft ths isnt heavy by anymeans,but if 600 is what the green pad takes it to then thats what i need for fresh house shots.So i guess i would need a piece of charcoal for a truly heavy shot.
