Title: FIG Alert
Post by: Walking E on October 09, 2015, 01:12:43 AM: After MANY years of trying, I finally bowled my first 800 series tonight - 269-276-299 for an 844!! I left a stubborn 10-pin on the last ball for 300 but at least I kept it in play. ;-)
Funny, my friend HATED his Zero Gravity so we traded some equipment and these were my first three games bowled with his old ball. Suffice to say that I like the ball a weeeee bit better than he did. Interestingly, my friend won a sidepot already with the ball I traded to him (a 706A) so this is a nice trade that worked out for both of us.

I have a teammate who still throws his Virtual Gravity every week. I've done the oil extraction and resurfacing several times and the ball just keeps on going for him. He got it a few years ago from a friend who hated it... Ya just never know...

Those are the best kind of trades. Love win-wins.

Like any ball, the Zero Gravity can be money in the right hands on the right conditions...I shot a 300 with it (FIGJAM) but my overall experience was that the cover needed a tremendous amount of maintenance. I hope yours lasts!!!!
