Does any other Lane 1 ball hit as hard as the::: :)
« on: March 17, 2007, 01:17:30 AM »
Enriched Uranium.  Made you look

Now that I've pretty much recovered from my motorcycle accident I'm throwing the ball better for the most part.

I pulled out the EU the other day to take it to league and it wsa a blocked shot, not hard, so I threw the EU.  The EU came off the break point extremely hard.  Reminded me of the Sliver but stronger  Pin over the ring finger but to the right about 3/4 of an inch CG stacked.  I know that bowlers have different PAPs so this info doesn't mean much.  My PAP is 4 7/8 and 5/8 up.

I also think the EU is the hardest hitting ball I have thrown (all companies) and the pin mix is tremendous.  I'm not saying that the EU is the hardest hitting ball because there are a ton of hard hitting bowling balls out there and that just leaves room for argument, but the hardest hitting ball that I have thrown

The problem with the EU is that it is so strong you have to pay particular attention to the changing lane conditions and anticipate a move before you leave the greek church like I have.

i threw this ball out to the 1 board and my teammates thought I threw it in the gutter and it came all the way back and crushed the pocket and I was trying to plat standing 22 out to 12 the out to 7 at the break point when I pushed it too far out and the ball recovered tremedously.

I will look for input to drill the second EU so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

If the EU is to strong, may I suggest the C+.  The C+ is by far my favorite ball, and the EU is a bit stronger for me then the C+.

Zeusjr,

Thank you for the reply.  I have the Carbide Plust and its drilled just like the EU.  I didn't like the ball when I first drilled it becaus it was billed as an oil ball which in my case, did not work.  But I think the Carbide Plus is a lot more controllable then the EU and I'm going to adjust the surface and try it again.

Thanks again.

I must have had a dud or a bad drilling. The EU did absolutely nothing for me. It was by far my worst experience with any lane 1 ball & the tsunami was second worst.

This is just proof of how different bowlers match up with different balls.

Of all of my Lane #1 balls, the three at the very bottom of my favs list are the Enriched Uranium, the Carbide+, and the Tsunami.

Some of my favs are the Solid Uranium, Pearl Uranium, HRG, Black Cherry Bomb, and Blueberry. I know there are some of you who do not like some of these balls.

Same goes for drills.
Some like 1:30 drills. Some do not.
Some like stacked drills. Some do not.

Not many things in bowling apply to everybody across the board.

I have said it before .. the EU has one of the biggest backends I ever seen.  Yes it is not for heavy oil.  I think its backend is what you are referring to, Nicanor.

I also agree, the C+ is no where near the EU when we talk about backend only.  EU backend is continuous

I cant say anything about the EU but the tsunami for me with the Semi pin Axis layout is one of the best lane1s I have thrown to date but for me the hardest hitting lane1s I have thrown is the pearl Cherry C2 and the Pearl Cobalt the cherry c2 is about 5-7 boards stronger than the Pearl Cobalt and it has one of the weakest layouts of any thing in my bag
(I am talking about the PC c2 that is)it is layed out with the pin above the bridge and Cg in my palm and this ball with this layout recovers from just about anywhere for me and hits like a freakin tank

GTX was correct, I did mean backend reaction once it hits the dry.  I'm sure it needs head oil or it would hook roll out to quickly. But I don't think it would be a good ball for carry down either.

I also throw the BCB and the BCB is a control ball compared to the EU.

Thanks for all the feedback.

I have to agree with the Tsunami fans here, this ball shreds the rack.
