Title: Received help from Buddies Pro Shop today (I hope)
Post by: Nicanor on August 20, 2007, 09:25:03 AM

I ordered two NM Beatn's from Buddies pro shop a couple of weeks ago and the numbers I received with regards to pin and top weight were exactly what I wanted.

I drilled both Beatn's with the recommended drill from Hammer except one HART was a bout 1 inch closer to the thumb.  I did port this earlier.  I polished the one with the hart closer to the thumb and the two ball combination has worked to perfection.  I know I needed a heavier oil ball or a ball that started up sooner and a light oil ball.

So I called Buddies Pro Shop and talked to Chad.  initially I was going to order a Fury and a Cherry Vibe but Chad called me back and recommended the Anger and Blue Vibe.  He also mentioned drilling the Anger 4 1/4 X 3 and the Vibe pin over the ring about 4 1/2 to 5 and the CG either stacked or in the palm.

Two questions:  Is this going to be an arsenal that will work for most lane conditions and are the bowling ball/drilling recommendations for the Blue Vibe and Anger what I need to fill the voids?

I have a Sonic Boom for drier lanes and the AMB Particle for the real heavy oil.  Hopefully I can get away from the Sonic Boom with the Blue Vibe.

Those 4 balls should work fine on just about any house shot you can find. Keeping one NMB highly polished. you will also find the Blue Vibe stronger than you think.

Thank you bluerrpilot.  I have a Doom also, but I think I'm going to keep my Lane 1 Megatons Hybrid in that spot and I have a rubber spare ball.  I'm hoping that those six will help me in the different bowling centers I bowl in and I'll keep the Blue Centaur AMB Particle for those days I find a flood.

Thanks again.

If Bracketcreep reads this message, we need to bowl again so that I can get rid of this nick name you gave me.
