Title: Fun with old Buzzsaws
Post by: novawagonmaster on February 07, 2008, 05:37:50 AM: I have been doing well lately with my old Purple Buzzsaw in one house, and the Pro Purple in another house.

Anyone else using their old stuff regularly?

Post by: novawagonmaster on February 07, 2008, 08:09:32 PM: I did throw a recently acquired Teal last week and was delighted at the smooth reaction. It is very tame. The Bullet was a good friend of mine last year, but I think I like the mellow covers on the old balls a little better. I will definitely throw it in the bag come tourney time.

Post by: Stever5000 on February 07, 2008, 08:22:59 PM: Shot 878 in a doubles X or 9 tournament with the Silver Diamond. Left the good ol' 4-9 in the 6th of the first game.

I love it when everybody who doesn't bowl the X or 9 says they'd shoot 900 every time. I don't care what they say, it's harder than it sounds.

Post by: dzrtrnr on February 07, 2008, 08:43:26 PM: Yes,I use a Pro Purple Saw to practice with on Mondays before the lanes
are re-oiled from Sundays open play. It is the one ball I have that will
still allow me a great reaction and carry on this broken down condition.

You poor soul!!! I really feel for yeah i really do epsecially that the center won't fix it or do anything about it. I actually have some splice marks on my cherry and just that pisses me off. If a screw did that to mine i would literally tear the place apart in rage. My cherry means everything to me and hate to see it get all dinged up. It's my money ball.

Post by: Mr_Smooth on February 08, 2008, 05:12:12 AM: Cherry Pearl C/2 is always in my bag! This ball is sure a winner! XP comes close and we shall see how it holds out in the long run. My Cherry Pearl C/2 has a ton of games on it and it still performs like new. I clean it like all my bowling balls after each use.

Post by: novawagonmaster on February 10, 2008, 09:16:09 AM: My Teal Buzzsaw bailed me out in a tournament yesterday. I was struggling with the transition, so I grabbed the Teal, moved just outside the track area, and "BAM", a 247 to save my butt! That ball is SMOOOOOOTH!
