Title: SOB proudly presents the first public video of the CURVE
Post by: Sawed Off Bowling on January 15, 2010, 02:12:00 AM
We got a tester in yesterday and had it punched up

As anyone would expect we were very excited to hit the lanes with it and put up a video

We hope that everyone enjoys the video

No offense, but how is someone supposed to get an idea of what that ball does based upon that video?

No offense.

it might, i think what i was trying to say is that their selection of bowler probably was not the best to see what the ball is doing verse the bowler.

Stand left..throw right..

Looks like a THS..

Would help to know what kind of oil or pattern that's out there

Sorry Roy..Vid is useless.

Yes. it's I, the Inverted One..

The shot was a 41 foot pattern! I know I have loft but it just shows what you guys can expect that throw the ball way better than me! This ball really impressed me and is so responsive off the dry! I am literally atleast 4 to 5 boards farther left on the lane compared to my blue death.

Thank you all for watching!!!

Wow... that vid made me think I am not so bad off.. I almost look like a proffessional compared to that.. 41 Ft with squeaky clean backends and 10 boards at the breakpoint.. not much of a challenge there. I could make my xxxl look like that.

FAILURE IS FEEDBACK. AND FEEDBACK IS THE BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS THAT GOT DIGESTED!

Ten pin?????? Where?? I throw a BUZZSAW there is NUTTIN left on the deck...

Roy, why so defensive?  That video is not very representative of what that ball will do because of the style of bowler (Kudos to he whom came back on and stated that indeed he does have a lot a loft in his game).


No offense - not defensive at all

I REALLY like to see somebody make the XXXL hook like that on fresh at 20 mph

I throw 17 mph with mine and have to throw it up the 5th board just to make it to the pocket

It had 4k Abralon and sauce - squirty on fresh

I just changed it to 1k plus sauce to see if it''ll help with the squirtiness.

we never claimed to be professional

we prefer to put out an honest video of the typical bowler because that's what we are, we will never make it to the PBA and we are ok with that

granted we have had the ball for all of 1 day and have thrown a grand total of 3 games with it

take it for what it's worth

thanks guys

For a video from someone who just wants to get some exposure out there, this is fine.  I do however have to agree that this isn't a very good overview of what a ball can do.  I bet you can pick up just about any ball and loft it past the pattern and get it to react the same way.

A XXXL, probably not, but any reactive, pearl, hybrid, particle piece, yep you sure could.

At any rate, thanks for taking the time and effort to put this up, it at least gets us exposed to what is on the way!

At least the man tried... don't crucify him because his game is a little different. Now on a side note... I would like to see it in the hands of somebodies whose style is more similar to mine, but nonetheless, nice try my man. For how hard you throw the ball and how far its lofted, the ball still gets up pretty good on the backend... Stevie Wonder could see that!!!
--------------------
Hmm..Lets see what I have in this bag...
a Frenzy, 2.5 percent of a C-System, and a Python Snake.. how can I loose....

Roy, SOB never said it was a freash 41' pattern he said it was a 41' pattern.

so if someone who enjoys bowling post a video then they have to be a pro ? so he posted a video and there are so many guys who bash someone for not bowling the right way or there way. hiding on the internet and acting like a pro is lame, where are your videos? i see none from the guys who complain that this video sucks. adam thanks for posting the video and using your time to make this video instead of setting on your butt and flaming someone for trying.

true stormbowler83 but not many league bowlers bowl the same. but you cant knock a guy for trying to post his video.

Nice vid

On other threads, I asked if someone (maybe Mike S.)  can demo a few shots on:

1. ths
2. different PBA patterns
3. sport shots

Now that would be helpful for us to gauge what the ball can do.
Of course there would be a lot of criticism as nobody can please everybody

its true roy. i think some of the best videos i have seen by an everyday good bowler,with great music ( iron maiden ,kiss and judas priest ) were mikes videos of richard hurryn . some times the music helps make the video too . entertainment value lol.

This house isnt even close to being the driest house in town, but it is a realatively easy place to score!  The most popular balls used in league at this house are Virtual Garvities and stronger balls like that.  But by no means as you can see in the video is it a hard place to score.

Really? maybe its the angle the video was shot? I was looking at a vid I shot at a house that can be on the dry side at times and the heads look like a mirror compared to the heads in your video thats why I aked if the were on the dry side.

Roy, no offense taken. But I never said I could make it hook like that at 20 MPH. Adjustments Adjustments Adjustments.

I was thinking about getting a Curve. All the hype I was hearing made it sound like it would fit right where I needed it to in my bag. But after seeing this video, I think I may just pass. Doesn't look like anything special to me, just looks like any other ball. If someone is going to put out a video showcasing the selling points of a ball, at the very least you would think that they would concentrate on those selling points and show people exactly what it is supposed to do. The ball may be what I need, and may do what I want it to, but I'm not seeing it here. Too bad.

Rodney,

He's just another bowler - like you and me, posting a vid on the ball.
Plain and simple.

I think you did a great job on the video. The reason so many negative opinions is that the videos were done perfect. There was nothing hidden and you got the ball to do what you wanted. Anyone that can throw the ball to the satisfaction of all bowlers is a Pro and you never claimed to be that. GOOD JOB!
