IceMQuick=Label130=Urianum=BCB
« on: February 22, 2004, 08:00:13 AM »
Okay if you cannot understand the title of my post I will spell it out for you. Swift Raven and I where on here, begging IceMQuick not to drill his Uranium the same as his other Lane 1 balls for the sake they all cover the same exact number of boards and they all do the same thing with SLIGHTLY different break points...

Well IceM punched up a label130 (same as other drills on all his balls, ever) Uranium and threw it tonight on a THS. At first he bragged how smooth it was, how much different it was. My dad and I laughed at him. Fine he said, grabbed his BCB and fired the same shot as was his Uranium. The result..........

The SAME EXACT breakpoint, angularity, and hit. Infact the ONLY differnce was teh color. Even IceM just smiled and finally (I think) admitted defeat on this one....

To make matters worse, it was also about the same as his XXL...

IceMquick+Lane1+Label Leverage= Same exact ball....

I can do the same thing on our house shot with most equipment...stand 22 play 14 to 8 and it's in the hole butthe difference comes when I have to move.

My URanium is drilled just like my Big Blue. They react the same on fresh lanes but when the heads start to go away the Uranium holds the line while the Blue dies out.

Conversely when they encounter carrydown, the opposite occurs.

The balls may react the same at times but how they allow you to adjust is the big issue.

OK, yes, IceMQuick is a ball junkie, like many of us here. I am pretty sure I mentioned when he posted about this 2 weeks ago, the same thing that Doug Sterner wrote above: he's on a House SHot and many balls will react very much alike. Waste of time unless he drills it differently or uses them on a tournament shot.

I don't feel I can entirely agree with this. I bowl in two different houses with both the oil and lanes being different in each house. Also in one house, the lanes may be light to dry today and medium to medium-heavy tomorrow. I have two different balls with the same size pins and drilled with the same layout and each ball covers a different condition.........

This saying is similar to what I am trying to say and that is you can have your balls laid out the same, but each ball has it's purpose. Especially like those of us, including myself, that are pretty much limited to what layouts we can use for our style and speed.

IceM is trying to be tough here and venting his frustrations on myself...

Last night was a differnent story however....... You guys don't understand, he gets out the Uranium starts throwing it... first ten shots all he does is turn around to my dad and myself and says the following....

"Great ball, smooth..."
"Real smooth hook, nothing like it. Smooth."
"See a ball that does react differntly, this one is smooth."

Then he pulls out his Black Cherry Bomb, to prove to my dad and myself who had yet said anything, that the diffence would be astronmical.

He throws one shot, gets an identical read, move, arc, hit and carry. Literally the only difference was the colors of the balls. IceM quick is a very defensive person, as you can see from his post above. But even he couldn't get defensive, and just smiled.

Then he anounces that he will throw the BCB one lane and Uranium on the other... and got identical reactions the rest of the night. Then he reads my post which is in good fun and appears grumpy and upset.

Don't worry IceM, the ribbing just begun. Wait until SwiftRaven sees you throws it. THen you will really be pissed....

Last night he admits that the balls where baiscally the same, though he did say the Uranium was "smoother". Probably considering its a pearl is my only thought on that....

Believe me, last night he was dissappointed dropping another 200 and whatever dollars on a ball that basically covers the same number of boards, and doesn't fill any gaps.
