Thanks to zeusjr for the quick shipping. Opened the box, first thing my wife says is, "Dear lord, that thing is ugly." lol.

It actually looks better in person, IMO, than any of the pics I''ve seen aside from the official ad slicks, which I think show a ball that has been polished. I''m drilling it tonight and will try to test it tomorrow (7-22-10) if I can find enough oil for it.

Biggest problem I see coming is whether I can put down my Hybrid Dirty Bomb long enough to throw it. I guess there''s truth to the old horses-for-courses argument. I can''t get my HDB to do much in other houses, but in my home house I''m averaging about 230-240 with the HDB over the past three weeks. And if that''s true ... well, there''s just not going to be enough oil out there for the Time Bomb.

The only thing I can''t decide is whether to polish it or not. I''m leaning toward polish or otherwise I may never be able to use it at my home house.
