FINALLY!!!
« on: January 13, 2013, 10:53:50 PM »
I finally shot my 1st sanctioned 800. This season I had a 799,797 and a 790 set. Tonight I finally got my 800. 266, 279, 265 for 809. I was using my new storm IQ tour pearl. That ball is just amazing. I have bowled 6 games in league. The 3 i mentioned above and last week 244 200 and a 299 with this ball.

Very nice shooting! You're making me anxious to use my !Q Tour Pearl this week even more now. I shot 648 last week with my !QTP and I'm starting to work my way out of a slump and on top of that I kept pulling the ball 45% of the night. The shots I let roll and trusted struck every single time!

Great shooting and keep it up!

Great shooting!
i do not like the IQ pearl at all, to over/under for me
condition specific at best, not a benchmark piece
some love it, some don't

Glad to hear ya finally got over that hurdle or should I say wall. You sent me words of encouragement, several days ago when I mentioned that I had not shot an 800. Job well done sir!

Congrats on your 800! The factory shine on the IQ Pearl i wasn't a fan of either. I hit it with a 1000 abralon and use the Motiv polish that gave it that matte sheen shine and it blends the wet dry house shot nicely.

Nice shooting. What layout do you have on the ball? Post a pic.

Here is a pic of the ball. I don't know the exact layout. I told the pro shop guy I wanted a layout with a little more back end then a bench mark layout for me.

My specs are 380 revs about 19 mph off the hand. axis tilt 12 and axis rotation 74.

Also thanks to everyone.

Looks like a stacked leverage layout. My Tour pearl is almost identical in layout, just move the pin and cg 3/4" left and it would exact. Still too much ball for what I was originally looking for. Nothing a surface change can't fix.
