I doubt he reads the boards here, he probably just reviewed the ball here becaue he was requested to do so. Maybe he will contribute to the site but I doubt he would want to hang and chat with a bunch of hacks lol.

Cool Eric must have gotten his computer (he calls it abbacus) to post something.

Maybe I can arrange for Eric to come to the gathering.
I know that some of the BR members met him last year when he was at Creekside and bought some cheap balls off of him.

Bowl great!

The above is a statement Eric made in his review and I totally agree with him. In fact if the Paradigm is drilled too strong, this ball almost flips too hard down the lane. Does for me anyhow. I LOVE my Paradigm and when it hits, IT HITS, but wish I had not let the pro shop talk me into such a stromg drilling as it is almost a bit too much for me. Still new yet so can't make any decisions yet, but am guessing I will have to adjust the cover on it.

He might post, he posts from time to time in the PBA boards so why not.

Ron thanks. Steve K of Storm said likewise. That is what I originally had in mind also. Hey, thats 3 heads saying the same thing so it can't be wrong....lol

I want to give it another week or so before I make a move. In the house that has new Brunswick Advil (sp?) Sythentic Lanes (slick too) that were installed this past August, nothing in my bag has worked well. My old Triple X sanded to 500 with an Abrolon Pad and polished lightly with 3M Finesse It II has done the best thus far. However with this ball being so strong on the backend, (and snappy) I think it will do a better job if I can find the right cover combination as it appears that it will work.

In the wood lane house, I don't think I will be able to use it except maybe on an early shift shot as it flattens out too soon on a later shift shot.
