Do I need the Silver Diamond?
« on: April 14, 2004, 11:41:55 PM »
Hey everyone,

I have way too many balls as it is, but a guy I bowl with has a used Silver Diamond that's in great shape that he doesn't use and wants to sell. I threw it a few times before scratch league the other night, and I thought that it looked alright. My question is, do I really need it? Here is my current arsenal:

Soup: Visionary Midnight Scorcher
Heavy: Lane 1 Black Cherry Bomb
Medium: Ebonite V2
Medium: Lane 1 Uranium
Burning heads w/carrydown: Hammer Diesel Particle Pearl
Med-Light: Lane 1 Cherry Bomb
Light: Lane 1 XL
Bone Dry/Spares: Lane 1 XXXL

I already have some overlap with the stuff that I've got, so I don't really know if the Silver Diamoned has a place. Any input as to how this ball might help me if I decide to buy it?  It is currently laid out with the pin under and slightly right of ring finger, cg kicked out right. I think it most closely resembles the CG Leverage layout on Lane 1's site. Any input is appreciated.

P.S. I'm not sure which batch is which, but this Silver Diamond is a dark, smokey silver pearl

Bowling is without a doubt the dumbest, most pointless, most idiotic excuse for a game that has ever been invented. So, what time are we bowling tomorrow?

Sorry for any confusion. I'm talking about the Lane 1 Silver Diamond, not the SD-73 pearl. I've edited the topic. Sorry about that.

I highly recommend the Silver Diamond.  It is the most versatile pearl that I have thrown and second in my mind only to the Original Triton Heat.  I shot 769 last week and 724 2 weeks prior.

You will find lots of uses for it.
