Title: Big Bang unlike any...
Post by: Hand of God on September 13, 2006, 07:18:23 PM
I am curious how you are throwing the Big Bang?  Results?

Tonight in league, i was playing fairly deep inside with my Terminator on a fresh 38 foot shot, and realized, that my Big Bang was truly made for this kinda oil pattern, so i switched for the last game.  

X X X 9/ X X X X X XXX = 279

Funny thing was it was effortless, I played around 3rd arrow, 14 board to 6, and the ball just seemed to go long, set up and just whack the pocket.  The only thing I left was a rigning 10pin, or else, another 300 ring.

But to get to the point, this is one of 4 279's i have thrown ... out of the last 4 sessions with it.  Its so absolutly easy to read, and it recovers well, and holds the tug shots.  I mean the comfort zone, and the confidence level... they should of called this ball, The Bench Mark... because it is my benchmark ball...
My Buzz is getting very very lonely

For true medium to fresh house patterns this is the best ball ever made.

Anyone else roll one of these?  Do tell....

Just got my new BB drilled up last week; I normally don't use them in league until after a few practice sessions though, so my feedback if coming.
 Note, I tend to agree though with "HoG" so far ... long and strong !!!

I too love my Big Band, er, I mean Big BANG.  I had my polished to a glass finish because the house I bowl in only puts out medium oil at best.  I usually start out with my Terminator.  At about the 5 or 6 frame of my second game I switch to my BIG BANG. I don't have to fight the shot and it give me a look that NO ONE else on has.  Long and controlled with a consistent big backend move.  Carrydown is never an issue. No over under. Lots of room for error.

Rolled mine today on a shot where they had played with the pattern and changed it from what they usaully put out ... heavier oil up front and screaming backends; 257 and 251 to start, then "operator-error" took over (fast feet and throwing instead of rolling it as I did the first 2 games) and just my just reward ... 4 splits and a 160 for a 668.
 Anyway, mine is at 800 gray pad and stacked leverage layout ... GREAT ball !!!

Mine is 3 1/2 x 3 so we are "almost" identical Robb.

"HoG",
 I did last week (and I believe that I posted a thread on it too); however, here it is again ... the final "grit" is 800 gray scotchbrite, after 800 wet-sand. Of course with the Terminator, they apply their polish.
