Particle balls and todays bowling
« on: September 10, 2013, 02:19:38 PM »
Just used a couple over the past few weeks.

I realized how smooth and predictable these things were on the left!  I know the conditions are a lot different on the right but lately one of my centers has added more volume or length and these things are so smooth on the left and take out a lot of the wet dry effect!

I wonder if manufacturers are secretly using them and not telling us because of the lack of popularity!?  Especially on the right for tournament conditions.

Here are some posts out here I recently posted or posted in regarding some of my favorites....

Some of my particle favorites.
Icon 2
Track Spell
Reaction Roll
Pro Zone Violet
Jade Quantum
PrO Zone Azure sometimes!

I have often mentioned a series of league nights near 2000 where I watched a super lefty at the time post 3 super series with a Nighthawk SPT!  I could never make that thing sing but he sure could!

PS anybody out there wishing for more particles?  In addition if you are wishing for particles again are you lefty?
PPS isn't it funny!  I just took a look at the Nighthawk SPT and came to realize it looks like the Spell core in there, I believe the Spell had a lighter particle load!

Right after reading this yesterday I stumbled upon a garage sale and picked up 2 balls for 7 bucks.  one being a Brunswick Fury which I always wanted to try and the other being a Track TKO Contender.  both look lightly used and I am excited to try out that Track now.

Anyone have experience with the Contender?

I think we just had a guy in our house last week redrill a Contender and have a very strong mid 7.

If memory serves me right it is a pretty heavy load particle, he is a high speed lefty with near rocket speed.

For me as a softer speed lefty it was usually a little too much bite!

REgards,

PS Terry, thanks for the reference to Lord Field.  I'll get familiar with the line.

Just remembered I had another ball in the closet that had particle. This one will be going on ebay this week.
