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.
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...

I couldn't get them to work either, but my computer is from 1906 or something. I don't have enough memory to upgrade quicktime lol....sad, but true.
I am using Firefox and when I click on the links, I am prompted to either save or open the file. I choose "Open" and pick Quicktime as the application...

Zeus, when I click on the link...
First it asks me if I want to open the file and I click on open
Next it says Adobe could not open file because it is either not a supported type file or because it has either been damaged or because it has been sent as an Email attachment & wasn't properly coded.
That is all I get when I try to view it.

Nice videos Zeus, its refreshing to see someone human throwing the balls and your videos give a good perspective on what to expect.

Ok, some Adobe program is trying to open it and doesn't support that type of file. If you download QuickTime it should work. I wish I knew more about video editing to help you out.
