How Do You Like Your Cobalt?
« on: March 22, 2006, 01:56:02 AM »
The guys in Syracuse have asked me to gather some feedback for them on their most recent release.

So what do you all think?

Personally I think the Cobalt has to be one of the best balls I have thrown in recent memory. The ball is so smooth for me through the heads and midlane and then revs hard on the back. The carry on this ball is incredible as well.

Any other experiences anyone would like to share?

Thanks for the input Don.....it seems to me that you are one of the few people who gets to bowl in a house who has refused to kowtow to the "soften the shot so they can score big" mentality!

I used to bowl in a house down in Danville, PA called Midway Lanes that was like that. 3 sanctioned 800's in the span of 40 years and exactly 13 300 games at the time. 700's were posted on the board for all to see and revere as there were only about 20-25 of them per season as well.

Man I miss the old days.

It's not too often anymore that someone would say great bowling to a low 7oo series, but with those apparent house conditions that is very good. I think congrats should always be based on lane condition & frequency of high scores in any given house. Good bowling!

Just to add onto my reply also in the house I bowl in there is only three bowlers in that house that carry a 200 average the highest being at 205 yes it is a tuff house but its a fair house everyone plays on the same shot

Well, just got back from league.  This ball is definately a keeper.  I had a few hiccups but loved the look this ball gave me.  Clean thru the heads and mids with a nice back end snap, not at all jumpy (unless your like me and get too slow with it).  Balls specs were 15lbs. 2-3" pin 3.7 oz. of top weight.  Drilled 3 3/8 stacked.  Had 209-220-215 with it.  Ball throws the pins around too.  It's alot stronger than I thought but it let me open up the lanes really nice.  Ohh yeah and it's so darn pretty too.  Everyone within ear and eye shot tonight asked me what it was.  No one in my area throws anything other than big B, Storm, and Track.  I felt I had the look to really do damage but got a little slow with it and I was punished.

Its hard to play with an inferno and not get burned. Last time I threw my inferno, the opposing bowler definitely got burned.

I love the Cobalt, has great recovery on the backend and hits hard. Haven't practiced with it yet, but shot 665 and 597 for a tournament and league. I'm still trying to figure out what's the best way I want to get this ball to the breakpoint.

My Pearl Uranium holds the midlane a little better as it should, but the Cobalt's drive to the pocket is quite better. I've noticed that I'm leaving fewer ten pins with this ball as well.
