Got my EU...finally
« on: December 21, 2005, 01:28:11 PM »
Went to the pro shop and had it drilled up today.  Unfortunately, with my two leagues taking a 2 week holiday hiatus and Christmas coming up, I am not going to have the opportunity to throw it for awhile.  Besides my two leagues, I am the sixth man on a team in a third league that has not needed me yet this year...until next Tuesday.  So, Tuesday I get to try it out.  I haven't bowled in this particular house this year, so I won't be able to come up with much comparative information, but I have every reason to expect the EU to be effective there.  I can't wait to find out.

Another comment...The EU is listed as being "highly polished."  I don't see it that way.  I had the chance to examine several of them, and they appear to me to be at about a 1500 grit finish, lightly polished--at the most.  None of the ones I examined were what I would call highly polished--not by either the reflectivity of the surface, or by the feel of the surface.  Not that it matters, particularly--it is just another example of the subjectivity of the phrase "highly polished" when it comes to bowling balls.

Well lucky you! I'm hoping to get mine tomorrow or friday so I can try it in my monday league. So you've had it for at least several hours & you haven't tried it yet!
The dirty bomb was labeled highly polished as well, but mine didn't look very shiny at all.

Curios, how did you have your ball drilled?  I too am a down and in bowler and just wanted to reference your style & drilling results from your Tuesday league.
