Ok here is the difference. This is a funny review where it is all humorous and having a good time (appearently the "newbies" dont understand our sick sense of humor at times here):
Posted: 11/6/2004 8:34 PM Alright, I read all the rave reviews, and knew i HAD to get this sucker! I barely got a hold of one of these from a friend for $400, and was so excited, i just got out the hand drill and had at it! I only put two holes in the ball, one for my middle finger and one for my thumb, as i felt it would be too much ball otherwise!. Pin was in track, mb at 315, as otherwise it would be way too strong! I wanted this for a house around here that uses vegetable oil on heated metal plates! Impossible to get anything to move and with the 10 lb pins they use, no one has ever struck!
I also decided that this ball needed a little *extra* so I nailed some wood strips on the bowling ball perpendicular to my track. i then took the ball out and threw it on the freeway at 90 mph to smooth off the wood edges before i went bowling! Needless to say, the other drivers werent too happy when they saw this 8 pound monster flying dangerously close to their windshields. It didnt even get a chunk or anything taken out of it, showing the strength of this magnificent core and cover! It looked so amazing with the new scrapes from the potholes and such on the freeway.
i got to the lanes, and found that the metal plates were even hotter than usual! The vegatable oil was boiling, and since the last time i visited, they set up a sprinkler system in the roof to constantly oil the lanes!
So i took out my newly drilled ball, being extremely careful so as not to damage any part of this masterpeice. Bowlers from multiple lanes over stared in awe at this beauty as i removed it from its sancuary. I proceded to throw the first ball, standing 2 lanes over, lofting 3 gutter caps, and throwing over 7th arrow at 72 mph quibica. Once it hit the lanes, the wood that i strategically placed on the ball started on fire! This flaming ball of fury made it out to the edge of the one board at 55 feet, snapping back and destroying the pocket made of 10 lb pins! Calls were made all across the country, as i was the first person able to move a ball at all on these lanes and the first person to get a strike! You should see my name in the paper tomorrow!
The only problem was as the ball came back through the return, it set the belt on fire and the ball got a chunk taken out of it! I dont understand how, but i think they set up a diamond coated knife to destroy this magnificent object that threatened to destroy this houses' image! I told the manager the ball was irreplaceable, as i barely got a hold of this one, and he paid me $5,000 to replace it! So anyone with one of these, pm me as i have 5 grand to spend for a nib one of these in 8 lb!

Now that is funny, humorous, good times and no big deal. What you all who are complaining about that should be whining about something like this:
Posted: 2/9/2003 4:55 PM this is the best ball i have ever laid my hands on since i drilled this up i have my high series(739) and my high game(299). this is the best ball out there
Or this review from 2 weeks ago:
Posted: 10/22/2004 6:02 AM could this ball be used for dry lanes if you had it drilled right and would it still hit hard
Thats one to complain about. These give no info, and the 2nd one asks a question that should be in the "forum" not the review section. Yes people use reviews to help select another ball, but at the same time, people like to laugh (speaking of my TI Light Weight gets here tomorrow!) and have a good time on this site. Dont like it? GO away. Otherwise, relax and enjoy. Now I have to go write my review on my spare ball and how straight it goes......
