The New Standard ... my "benchmark" ball !!!
« on: April 18, 2006, 04:28:30 PM »
Use it this evening in my league rolloffs; it's a late shift league so the pattern is broken down a bit and the oil has been moved around before we start. I tried my Big Bang and World Class ... too strong for the condition in warmups, but apparently just right for my "NS" ... rolled a 246 (left the 4-10 split in the 5th, "operator-error") after starting X 9/X X, and then punched out; 2nd game was a "clean" 256 and that gave us the first 2 games in a best out of three match (finished with a clean 215 game foe a 719 series.
 I started out on 19 board and swung it out to 6-8 at the breakpoint to start ... had to move a couple boards left and up on the approach as they broke down even more and chased the oil line to keep it in play. My NS was crushing the pocket all night ... it came back if I got it out side a litttle and held the inside line if a tugged it a bit.
 Great ball from LEGENDS !!!
(3" pin next to ring, CG slightly left of stacked, 800 wet sand & gray SB pad).
I'm a believer !!!

I talked to Pat from www.bowlingballmall.com last night on the phone he said Anne Marie uses this as her bench mark as well.  I think once I fall into some money I'm gonna get one!

Panic,
 That's what a benchmark ball is, if I've learned and paid attention to what I've been told, at least.

i didnt say that right. i thought it was supposed to hook more, and i didnt think it would make a good bench mark ball at first
