Title: tsunami
Post by: monstercrank on March 15, 2006, 03:44:26 AM
I recently picked one up used for 35 bucks from a coworker and went to my shop to talk drilling options and he told me not to waste my money, he said if I really wanted a spare ball he had one I could have for free. that made me question my purchase, I wanted one because of all the reviews that state it is amazingly versitle and things of that nature, the hing that got me was he was dead serious. can anyone explain why he would say this, or were the good reviews the few good ones on the lanes?

If you're going to believe that ignorant driller, sell me your Tsunami.
I'd like to try a semi pin axis with that ball.

Does your driller carry Lane#1??Alot of times shops will talk bad about a ball to get you to get something they carry.

he does carry them, I am going to keep it if nothing else than for the great price, plus I want to try rico on a ball. the thing that suprised me was he said how great the pearl dirty bomb and uranium was when I bought them then he completly shot me down with this one he said it was possibly the worst buzsaw ever produced.

If you really are a cranker and cant turn a tsumani you need to do yourself a favor and quit. I have about 325 rpms and can hook the ball a good 15 boards swinging it on mediums with some backend, lose that driller and go find a guy that is not on some staff because he is a pro shop guy only. You will be surprised if they are with 1 company that there head is stcuk somewhere when it comes to drilling brands they do not sell in there shops.

You can easily sell this ball for 90.00 shipped in about 2-3 days.

We know you're not lowballing it.
We're just trying to point out that your driller is ignorant of this ball.
Tsunami a spare ball !?

The offer to buy it from you is to prove to you that this is a very good ball.
You'll find out soon enough.
We'll appreciate if you can give us an update.

This is a very versatile ball it reads the lane great and until my cobalt it was the 1st ball out of my bag.......

Can either play with alot of revs or medium revs this ball likes them both....

Ill probably get it drilled this weekend, Im interested to see what rico1 does on a sanded tsunami, Ill probably sand it to eliminate chances of overunder.

You can sell this ball for that i sold an h2o for 90.00 shipped in 2 days, if the ball is in great shape. If it beat up maybe 60.00 shipped is all you will get, i dont care if you throw it or sell it. I am not FOS member or any group for that matter, so do want you want its all good with me your call.

I have only seen one in action and I can't form an opinion off of that because of the style of the guy throwing it. He's a teammate of mine, but it didn't work for him. But he has an unusual style that truthfully does not put proper rotation on the ball.

From videos I have seen and talking with some people, sounds like a very good ball. I can't say for sure though.

Thats the funniest thing I ever heard! I shot 837 with the tsunami. Like to see your ball driller do that with a spare ball. Drilled stacked. The ball is one of Lane1's best!Heres an idea,get it drilled by him the beat his but with it! Now that would be funny!

yea, but 212 average to 230+ probably not going to happen, the tsunami is the only one he dosent like... oh well it dosent matter, if he hates it so much maby he will drill it for free ot prove his point, that would be funny!

by the way, has anyone tried the rico1 layout before on this ball, I was thinking of this and then a burgendy scotch brite pad finish, thoughts?
