Too bad I didn't get one, but......
« on: November 06, 2004, 09:05:28 AM »
That is, a ball.  Today at our junior league, someone politely donated about 11 bowling balls of various weights/companies.  I was gonna get one, but lucky me I was up to bowl in the tenth, so needless to say by the time I got there, it was all gone.  But I'm happy, because my other team members and other people got them, and they need them a lot more than me.  THough I wouldn't mind having my teammate's "new" (they are all used obviously) Super Cuda/C (i think it's the pearl).  That thing wants to snap like a mofo.  My other teammate got a green quantum.  i think it's the Jade.  Were there any other green quantums?  My last teammate, he got a pearl urethane hammer.  That is good, because now he has a ball for dry lanes and spare shooting (he has a v2 sweet and Charcoal Executioner....hard to shoot 10 pins).

So all in all, while I would have liked to get one, I'd rather see a ball in the hands of a bowler who only has 1 ball.

I still want that mofo-snappin cuda though.  Maybe I'll get a fire quantum.

yeah I was like "aww, I didn't get one"...but then I saw how excited they were that they had a new ball.  My one friend who got the cuda, all he has is a dead predator jungle green.  That's horrible.  A ball that sucked to begin with, that is dead.  But now he has a new ball, and he was really excited.  My other friend who got the quantum, which i'm almost positive is a jade, all he had was a 12# tornado.  But now he has a 14# quantum (he is short).  I feel it will match up better for him.  And my other friend, well he actually has a spare ball now, so hopefully he'll get better at his spares.

Though I ahve to say, if there was a 15# Fire quantum, I'd throw those punks out the way and leap for it.

WEll i should say this.  WE bowl on light oil.  He has an aggressively drilled oil ball.  Doesn't work very well.  I have never seen him throw a shot that doesn't hook-set.  the thing actually flares over his thumbhole.  Now he has something that will get down the lane.

I guess I should have said that.  Also, it's pretty dead.  Yours lasted, but this one died quickly.  I can throw no-thumb and the ball won't even roll out.
