Alright guys,
Just came back from throwing my new Lane #1 Tsunami h20. This is my first buzzsaw so I was excited yet skeptical about all the praise they get.
Here are my stats:
speed:17-18mph
medium revs
ball is drilled using Doug Sterner's favorite benchmark drill; 4" pin to pap with the mass bias strong or kicked slightly to the left (lefthanded)
I was playing a few different lines on a THS 15-5, 20-10, straight up 10, yadayada. At first I wasn't really warmed up and I thought I was sucked in by the "hype", 'cause the ball was just ok. But then things got heated up. Bam all ten in the pit, scouts flying, pins jumping, yet it kept the pins low on the deck. I didn't come out of the gates with unimaginable scores and I'm not claiming to be a score machine. I had games of 194-257-222-194 a few tugged shots and missed 7 pins ohh well. But I did notice that I could carry the corners more than usual with this ball. But I can say this, the ball was very smooth not jumpy or jerky at all, very predictable.
Now for the title of this post. I was throwing a few shots and found the groove. I rattled off strike after strike. I think it was my 5th in a row that caused a reaction I'll never forget. There was a retired league going 3sets down. One fella was one the approach when the ball absolutely crushed the pins, it sounded like a car wreck. His head snapped around so fast to see that he damn near fell. The look on his face was priceless. I proceeded to rattle of 2 more of these ear shattering blasts when another fella turned and said, "I don't even need to look I know that was a strike for how loud it was. I don't even have my hearing aids in." The funny thing is his wife nodded and said he had left them home. Sorry for the length but for this it was all worth it. BY THE WAY THANKS DOUG!!!!
