300 with the Time Bomb...
« on: June 24, 2010, 11:37:55 PM »
Not once but twice last night... That's the first time I've thrown two 300's in one night...

Thanks Lane#1 for the great ball and getting a tester out to me...

Great bowling Zeus. It is great to shoot even one 300 let alone two in the same night.

COMMENTS
Wow!! I was very surprised at the reaction of this ball. I was expecting it to fall in line under the Curve. What I found was that this ball maybe even stronger then the Big Curve. The TimeBomb is definitely stronger off the break point where the Big Curve has a more smooth transition. The Big Curve should still be the heavy oil piece as it starts sooner in the oil, but time will tell. It has similar length to the Curve but a sharper break point. The TimeBomb has the biggest backend reaction of any Lane#1 ball I can remember. After the first night of competition and shooting two 300's with my Time Bomb I'm convinced this ball has a very bright future and will make a great 1-2 punch with the Curve...

Here are a couple of video’s to show the comparisons. Please keep in mind this was shot with my phone so the quality isn't great and the background noise is bad so please turn down your speakers. These play on using Windows 7 media player or QuickTime...

Playing 2nd tracer (10 board) down the lane:
Curve --> http://home.comcast.net/~BandRBowling/Curve.3gp
Big Curve --> http://home.comcast.net/~BandRBowling/620BigCurve.3gp
TimeBomb --> http://home.comcast.net/~BandRBowling/TimeBomb.3gp

Playing around 5 board:
Curve --> http://home.comcast.net/~BandRBowling/Curve2.3gp
Big Curve --> http://home.comcast.net/~BandRBowling/620BigCurve2.3gp
TimeBomb --> http://home.comcast.net/~BandRBowling/TimeBomb2.3gp

Moved left for more angle:
Big Curve --> http://home.comcast.net/~BandRBowling/620BigCurve3.3gp
TimeBomb --> http://home.comcast.net/~BandRBowling/TimeBomb3.3gp

And yes I know I'm no pro...

Wish I Could Throw A 300 Once. Might Never Happen For Me. What Was Your Series?


Keep working on it, took me like 10 years to throw my first one.  It was during out King of the hill tournament I bowled the first 300 in round one and the 2nd in the finals.  Several games in between, I don't recall the total set of scores...
