thanks urban for the link... I like the ball's movement yet what oil is this played on?

and the polished shot looked as if the ball rolled out which I don't understand... or is it the camera position playing tricks on me...

all the shots there were on heavy carry down
from a sport shot from the previous night.

well... all I say is my own oppinion and from my knowledge a polished ball should not roll out...

But when you say it were heavy conditions the movement I think I saw makes sense...

No offense!

(FYI, I haven't watched the video, I'm at work right now) He said the shot was laid down the previous night.  But oil sure has a way of changing after sitting on the lane for nearly a full day!!

You and Mav seem so amazed at this statement, yet i have shot on spot shots when hooking the ball 20 boards wasnt enough.  Remember sport shots don't always mean heavy oil, just the ratio of 3:1 or less.

I think that what they mean (and I agree) is that no ball is going to react like that with heavy carry down.

Yes, thats what I meant, if this is a carried down sport shot, there is no way that ball is bouncing like that on the backend, unless someone is down there hitting it with a pool cue.

Mav: Given your style, you could probably use a piece that can open up the lane a little for you. Regardless, why such hostility?

Steven,

This ball would be useless for me.
I dont need to open the lane to be successful.

When I project to the right, im less accurate than on a tight line.
Sport shots over the summer have tightened me up nicely.
Im further right, with more speed and revolutions, with a tighter line, and higher scores than last season.

On monday nights, they've changed the oil composition to something more viscous since christmas break, I will solve this puzzle with my head, and not with another ball.

Hanging out with Sawbones on BowlingChat.net has changed the way I think about lane play. No need to worry about a ball next season, im taking my game to the next level by using my Urethane Axe all year.

As much as you'd like to think a ball with more surface makes a difference, it doesnt, its all in your head, simplify your lane play, then you will see the light.

Mav: Like always, the answer is that 'it depends'. The Shark patterns I've bowled on in PBA experience leagues over the past year generally play inside. Outside is out of bounds -- absolutely no recovery. Playing tight is a very 'iffy' proposition. It generally requires going down to such a weak reaction that carry starts to become an issue. So if the answer is to play deep inside, A strong ball like the Resurgence or BuzzBomb can help provide for the appropriate angle of entry.  

I'm thinking about experimenting with Urethane to see if it provides a different look where I'm forced deeper than I'd like. I have the Liberator on order to try things out with.

There are always exceptions to the rule.
I stand by what I said based on what I and many here bowl on 99% of the time.

I bowl on a THS and I can take each of my three reactives and do the same score (well my scoring is bad atm but anyway)

Just as easy as any THS you bowl on in western NY.

Steven, I think if you're looking to play deep with any urethane ball, 2 piece or 3 piece, you're going to see the carry is less than optimal.

But it will certainly let you play parts of the lane to the right of everyone else with reactives.

If you're able to modify your delivery to match speed and revs to have the ball to set and drive you'll like the control of urethane. If you're consistently speed dominant, save your money, plenty o' 10's and 8-10's.

Is it bad that I prefered the look the lefty got with the right hand drill?
Maybe it is time for me to drill a strong ball with a negative pin position.

Whether you think you can, or whether you think you can't... you're probably right.

One small clip of a left hander throwing a right handed drill BuzzBomb, and you've already formed an opinion about the ball. Just shocking.

allstarbowling-joe, who also tested the ball, proclaimed the BuzzBomb as a more angular version of the Resurgence, which is arguably the most aggressive ball in production today. Consider that Joe is a large volume proshop operator (Brick as well as Internet) who certainly is not in bed with Lane#1. He has no gain in making such assessments.  

Give it time to get in the hands of more testers. I wouldn't be surprised if it's crowned even more aggressive than your beloved EPX-T1.

This ball is just flat out awesome.` I even drilled mine up for more length and later hook and it still outhooks my Special Agent, LevRG and Super Carbide Bomb....

This is going to be one of the best balls of the year.....
