I like kool-aid.

No honestly, C+ is a good ball, I use it on floods too, you wont be disappointed. Great ball.

Pimpin ain't easy-it's mandatory.

Steven,

Are you saying that the Buzzbomb lived up to its orginal hype of being the most hooking ball ever and an oil monster?  After Rictchie backed off on that statement, many more Buzzbomb bolwers were happier with their Buzzbombs.  There was way too much hype on the Buzzbomb when it first cme out. One of the reasons tht Ricthie took so many back in the beginning.  Again, not slamming the Buzzbomb, I still throw one, but there was way too much hype.

My C+ remains on of my favorite balls to date, but I don't get to use it very much anymore because the house I bowl at has been flooding the lanes with out lately and the C+ just isn't strong enough but my BuzzBomb sure gets the job done.

I got up a little early, so I took the liberty of milking your cow for you.
Yeah, it took a little while to get her warmed up, she sure is a stubborn one, whew.

Roy: I'm gonna brush my teeth.

first impressions:
Layout:
Here's the picture:

Lane Condition:
Modified House shot 38 ft broader and more oil than med... almost heavy with the high temperature and moisture in the air.. very slick lanes

Perfect line for my Machine to score:
standing 20 ... aiming 10 (2nd arrow) out almost down and in and the Machine goes down and almost snaps into the pocket as the oil is really too much for the Machine to read the midlane...

so... the Carbide+ was ideal! This is the condition I wanted the ball to work on.

standing 25
target 10

see the breakpoint

Rolling characteristics:

very strong midlane read!

this baby holds the lane and goes down smooth

then it makes a strong movement towards the pocket

personal impression:

the Carbide+ with this layout for me means two things:
If I don't rev it it will still make it's move but is rather weak then.... BUT: carries like crazy! get it to the pocket and it will smash em down! I have not seen this with my Machine the whole 10 games I played.
miss... and the Carbide+ won't really make it.

I was told the Carbide+ is not the oiler L#1 promoted it to be but a very strong ball for med-heavy and that is true


Personal problems:
I can't rev it really... the thumb seems to be to tight right now...
This was very frustrating seeing my MAchine go down with 350+ revs and make a jump on the backend when the C+ was goin down so lazy... well this means for me I start playing slow... which means the ball becomes o/u
I had sanding paper with me and opened the thumb but that is not enough... I need a bevel knife.

But each "reved" shot (with an extensive use of powder) in the pocket carried! EVERY SINGLE ONE! light... brooklyn... I had either strikes or missed pockets and then nasty splits.

Compared to the Machine (my stronges so far) this ball is by far not so jumpy on the backend but needs more oil to work. I can play it in the drier zone of the lane but why should I? I have a pearl particle right in the bag

I don'T want to rate the ball already cause I had some troubles today with it but also some enlightened moments. Normaly I need some time to figure out how to use a ball and so it will be with the C+.
Just that I am not the guy taking a new drilled ball and shooting high scores... that was never the case. But after some time I either fall in love... or hate it.

Let's see how the C+ does

anything forgot.... AH yes...

the coverstock is so soft I can see trackmarks already after 10 games...I knew this from my first one and I hope the coverstock will hold longer than I fear... I will resurface it now and then but I like the raction I get right now.. with the oob + slightly polish.

any idea how to keep it other than getting a abralon pad cause the grey scothcbright are too low grit.

well... read more later cause this needs some thumb adjustments and more testing.
