--Update--
I''ve got my demo vid up on youtube so here''s the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkJ4cWnRRokHey guys, last week I came here to ask about the Black Widow Sting and the Venom, and pretty much everyone suggested the Sting so I went ahead and ordered one, it arrived yesterday.
I didn''''t get to really test the ball yet. For the past many months I had been bowling with Storm''''s products, which are great, but they leave me a record-high number of corner pins, ghost/solid pins, and splits, no matter how hard/soft or the angularity of my pocket shots are.
Last night I bowled in my 2nd shift league -- lanes were downright destroyed. I used Storm''''s Virtual Energy for the first 2 games, no matter how consistent I was at hitting the pocket, all 10 pins would NOT go down, but leaving 10s, 7s and splits, giving me scores in the 170s and 190s, so I pulled out the Sting for the first time at the beginning of the 3rd game, I never used it so I spent the first 5 frames to find the proper mark to use on these broken down lanes, and as soon as I found it, every pocket shot was an inevitable strike, finished the game with a nice 5 in a row and scoring in the 210s right off the bat. This ball is a hooking beast!
So I must''''ve picked the right ball, even though it only has 1 game on it LoL, I will practice with it tomorrow when the lanes are fresh and see how well it will really work and update on here tomorrow or Monday. I''''ll probably do a bit of video recording and post on here as well just for the heck of it.
Just a side note, I think Storm''''s Virtual Energy and Rapid Fire Pearl would make great "sandbagging" equipment for me in my upcoming leagues LoL Don''''t get me wrong, I''''m not bashing on Storm''''s stuff, it''''s just a single company isn''''t for everyone -- and Storm probably isn''''t for me, maybe Hammer is?
I think I''''ll play a me-vs-me game tomorrow! Me using the Sting vs Me using one of Storm''''s balls... haha. I''''ll have no life tomorrow after 3pm
UDPATE------------------------------------------------------------------
Got to test out the Sting today. Bowled 5 games with the Sting and 1 game with the Virtual Energy for the me-vs-me match. The VE instantly started leaving me solid 7s, splits, and 10s (AGAIN!) so I suppose Storm''''s not right for me.
As for the Sting, for all 5 games I left only two 10 pins, and 2 ghost pins, other than that, solid shots as it should''''ve been all season which gave me a good 219 average for today''''s bowling. Only downfall about this ball is it is NOT very forgiving if I miss my mark. But that''''s only a problem for inconsistent bowlers, right? LoL
And I suppose I was everyone''''s entertainment at the center today for the me-vs-me match. Even though I was wearing my headphones and listening to music as I bowled, I had the music off for the match and I could hear people talking behind me about betting on the Virtual Energy and the Sting, haha. Results:
BW Sting - 223
Virtual Energy - 192
