I don't know, just kind of boring. It did seem that the lanes were burnt to a crisp though. Like your ball read at like 10 feet. It still looked good. Just not the type of reactions I see often.

i guess you didnt really take into consideration the position of the mass bias. with that layout and position of the mb the ball isnt going to do much. its fairly weak to begin with and a weaker layout doesnt make the ball do much.

just my .02 and btw nice vid mav.

Great job of keeping the wrist relaxed and out of play. I wish I could stand that far right on toast! Between the drilling and the release you found some area out there.

Excellent stroke on the ball trusting the timing. Relaxed - effortless also trusting the drilling/layout to do it's job. Playing the lane as it's scoring potential stands; dialing into the pattern, whats there.  We all could learn from this video. thanks for posting Eric!

More like 30 feet, but I get your point.
I think you're seeing the PowerKoil 18 side of the hybrid.

Yes, I did take into consideration the PIN and MB positions, I wanted length and control on the back, which is what I got, even on hellish toast lanes seen in the video.

Thanks! there was about 2 1/2 boards of area at the arrows, and even on the 1/2 board to the right, it was dangerous coming in high. You can see the final 2 shots in the intro sequence were the beginning of the end to that line.

Thank you very much Jon, I work with a former professional bowler and his right hand man. They've helped tune my game immensely. The drilling is flat out sweet, I love the 2 1/2" Pin to PAP range.

Thanks Trigg, I appreciate the compliment. Its all about control on the lane with me.

when i fired up the video and saw the layout, I could tell what you were trying to hit, control with some length, and I agree with the pk18 shining on that ball, the h2o has a bit more midlane then folks give it credit for

the roll you were seeing with the drill is what I get out of my semi pin axis tsunami, if I werent such a porker with bad form I would shoot soome tape lol

good bowling, but the ball doesnt look like it hits that hard. alot of flat strikes with the pins just falling down and laying there. No explosion.


This also may be caused by older pins, or the cheaper type of brand. Not every bowling alley has the latest and greatest pins.

Yep, they throw in the old wood during the summer, and replace it in the spring with the good stuff.

dude, u sucked on the first shot of that game!

heh, jk, nice video
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

Nice work.

I've found my H2O to be MUCH stronger. I'm sure it has much to do with the 3.5 stacked drill, but there is a big difference.

I went to the lanes last night for some practice. They had just finished dressing the lanes with the shot they are going to use for leagues this year. I was playing my Crystal diamond on the same line where you were throwing your H20 (managed a best of 258). I cannot wait for leagues to start next week!
