What Lane 1 ball got your attention? just curious?
« on: July 16, 2008, 02:05:57 AM »
I was on a random bowling trip, drive to a city bowl a game or two and go to the next, etc. From Mississippi we went to Louisiana and eventually came to Monticello Arkansas!  Found a little 16 lane bowling center, which was very nice, and the pro shop guy got to talking to us.  He saw the way that i rolled and said the he had a 14lb ball he would like for me to try. AIGHT, he brought to me a BLACK CHERRY BOMB!  never heard of it before, so i threw it and said wow, i was actually throwing a 14lb storm paradigm passion so i was able to compare them head up!  He knew i was in love with it, charge me $60 and the rest is LANE #1.  That's how i became a Buzzsaw Brat!!!  So which ball pulled you in? Oh, yeah i have a 14lb storm paradigm passion for sale

solid u was more than a few weeks behind the Nugget, because I traveled to see doug Sterner to buy the nugget, (my first I think) and he tried like hell to get me to wait and buy the Uranium Pearl... which was due in shop in like 3 days...

I had a Pink Raspberry to start things but could not replace it when I dropped to 15#.

My first 15# Saw was the Cherry Bomb Pearl...awesome piece.

The marriage began with a Cherry C/2, great ball.  We divorced after the black XXXL.

The Pearl Cherry Bomb was my initiating ball, and I really wish that I could come across a reasonably priced 15lb one to replace the 16lber I unloaded. The pearl CB was a great combination of length, flip, and hit. I loved it.

 Initially, it was the Black XXXL, and then the Buzzsaw XL. Both balls were hit and miss.
      Then, the Tsunami came out. This ball has been great. A benchmark ball. Doesn't over-react, and has such a smooth backend movement. Rolls just like my Danger Zone, but not as flippy. Ball was bought in 2005, and is still in the bag. I bought a spare Tsunami from my son, so I will have a replacement just in case.

I hate ten pins but love the game of bowling with just the right ball to take them out.

I THINK IT WAS 1994 NATIONALS IN MOBILE.
I WENT UP AND ASKED RITCHIE "W.T.F. IS A BUZZSAW?
HAD ABOUT A 45 MIN.CONVERSATION WITH HIM.
WHEN I GOT HOME I PURCHASED AN ORIGINAL BLACK BUZZSAW.


BEEN A SAWHEAD EVER SINCE
