"Brown" delivered my Big R Bang today !!!
« on: December 18, 2006, 07:37:52 AM »
Got it in from AllStarBowling-Joe ... great drill job (as usual) and the layout is in my profile; mini-review before the start of 2007.

Let us know Robb.  I like the layout.  Should get some decent length out of it.

Rob,

We get all our stuff from Allstar Joe.  The job they do is amazing and quality is top notch.  Between myself and my friends, we purchased 25 balls from him, without any issues.  Lou is the main driller and he's a true master with the drill press.

I'm looking into the Big Bang R, over the Buzz, let me know, what you think of it.

Scott,
 That was the idea behind the layout; Galen, Joe, and I spoke extensively on it before deciding upon this one ... that cover is strong and needs a bit of "push" to get it down the lane to the breakpoint so that the core can "kick in" and do it's thing. As usual, adjusting the cover is always an option for me ... The BUZZ is the only ball that I have, besides the Str Flush and the Arrow, that is still OOB.

Any news Robb?  How does it compare to the Wold Class/R?  

Inquiring minds.

Scott,
 Rolled the BRB a bit today in league ... this reactive cover is strong just as Galen told me it was; I took it to my pro shop and had them hit it with a coat of Extended Length polish to give it a bit more push down the lane. What he had heard from some west coast bowlers that have it is that the EL polish gives it about 10 more feet of length and saves the turn for the backend ... that would have helped me with it today.
 More on it later ...

Jim,
 Based upon what I saw yesterday and how strong that reactive coverstock is ... it NEEDS it !!!

Update on my BRB; after trying it out in my Thursday travel league this past week, and seeing the strength of the reactive resin cover , I decide to hit the cover with a coat of the Legends Extended Length polish (per Galen's recommendation).
 MUCH BETTER !!! The "EL" polish gave the ball more "push" down the lanes and retained the hard-hitting power that I've grown accustomed to with the "L/LM" line of equipment; the reaction is still early on the midlanes and more angular than I thought that it would be. After 4 games with it, I switched to The BUZZ and it went longer and opened up the lanes with more backend than the BRB ...  less angular and more of a sweeping hook. Bear in mind that the BUZZ is still OOB and that the layouts are different too (both layouts are below).

Big R Bang: 3 oz TW, 2 3/4" pin, 3 x 3 1/2 layout,
        (pin above & right of pin, on the edge of ring finger hole @ 2 o'clock),
        cg 3/8" above midline, OOB with Extended Length polish, no WH

The BUZZ: 3 3/8 oz TW, 2 3/4" pin, 4 x 4 1/4" layout, pin right/above the ring,
          cg 9/16" above ML, OOB, no WH

Good info. Robb.  I get more info. off of you and Jeff than I can the website.  Galen is a good guy but hard to get a hold of....understand that.

Robb, do you like the BRB better than you did your WCR, or is it too early to tell yet?

If you like it better, would you list the reasons?

Jim,
 So far, and IMHO, I'd say that the BRB is a much strong ball; that cover is stronger than the WCR, and I'd say that the WRC's strength is it's core while the BRB's is it's cover.
