Title: very impressed
Post by: gogunners on October 20, 2006, 07:10:19 AM
ive bought columbia, track and brunswick but ive never been so impressed BEFORE ive even bowled with the ball! the little extras the ball comes with show a sign of quality and care. it reminds me of a new mercedes!

i get my yeah baby! drilled on monday and will no doubt tell you lot here the results which i anticipate will be positive.

thanks, james

p.s i saw bill hoffman bowl with this ball in the 2006 weber cup about an hour a go. looks very nice!!

I'm very impressed with the company.
I just picked up my Black Pearl and Straight Flush yesterday.

(I just switched from using finger grips, which I have used for 20+ years, to no grips. First time using.)

First game with the Black Pearl: 258, would have been 300 if I hadn't topped a couple of shots. Ball has great finish. (Drilled 3-1/2 x 3-1/2)

2nd game threw the "Straight Flush" off the 3-4 board, straight down and in, shot 224...This ball does not hook, more than 2-4 balls...great for dry lanes.
(Drilled 3-1/2 x 3-1/2)

I have a NIB Satisfaxion, sitting here, which I'm tempted to drill up, instead of sell...Also an NS2, New Standard and Big Kahuna...

I guess all my Track stuff will have to be sacrificed to the Lanemaster Gods.

And there is a "Crack" when these balls hit the pins.

no of course not, im just seeing if it was true. because now i really cant wait to throw the yeah baby! just to see if there is a difference in noise from my arsenal artillery.

oh and can the cleaner and polish and sanding bits that came with my ball be used on any other ball? because i dont know if they are specifically there for the diamond particle coverstock.

The cleaner is an USBC-approved cleaner, the polish is just that ... ball polish (gritless), the 2 pads are a burgundy and gray scotchbrite, 400 grit and 800 grit respectively; I can't imagine why they couldn't be used on other ball covers.

The packaging does show attention to detail and to the customer.  The cleaner is STRONG and cleans like a monster.  In fact, if I am not mistaken, although it is approved by USBC, it is not approved for use during sanctioned play.

I used the cleaner, sprayed it 3 times onto a ball...
My wife cam ehome 5 hours later, and could smell the cleaner, had to open the windows. I guess I bcame used to the smell...It's really strong. Would love to know what the ingredients are?

Once again, when I talked to the Legends ownership about a year ago, he said it was industrial strength isopropyl alcohol.
