Also, just because you "heard" a ball or series was a flop, that means nothing. If you have used the ball, then make the comments why it's the worst of 2003.
Joe Falco, if you don't want that POS Golden Nugget, message me. I will buy it from you!! LOL..

When people say a ball is "condition-specific", they don't mean it can't be used on everything from dirt to a flood. There's no ball that can!
Did you at least put some extra polish on the GN before using it on med/dry lanes?

JKiser. And why isn't that reason enough to call a ball a flop? I don't have the right to call it a flop because I wasn't dumb enough to spendd 200 dollars on it? If 30 people in your local house tell you a ball sucks, are you going to go buy it? If you are then I bet a lot of people here have throttles they would sell you.

Joe Falco, you are one funny guy. You used the GN on the oil condition it's meant for (med/hvy oil), and it worked great. Then you take it to a lane condition it is not meant for (med/dry), and it sucks, so you call it a condition-specific flop. Hahahahahaha...

Seadrive. That is exaclty what condition specific means. You can use a ball on one condiiton and not the other. Joe was right in calling the ball condition specific. You are right, all balls are, but some balls can handle a wider variety of conditions than others can.
example: I can use my inferno on more conditions than someone else could use their swamp monster.

Over priced. ball was good, just the price it was at killed any chance of it selling. The people that threw it, liked it but hated the price tag with it.Reloaded seemed a fizzer for most, needed polish. Same with Phenom. Saw a couple Wireds Die as well.
Ebonite hammer didn't have too many balls in the can this year, which was a surprise.

How some of you feel about your lane 1 products,(which I have nothing against), is how I feel about my inferno. I honestly don't think there is any condition that it can't handle if thrown right. I only have two balls that I carry with me, my inferno, and an old black turbo urethane,(for my spares).
Besides, how often do you run into anything with more oil than a typical house shot, or drier than the third game of a second league of the night?

I was afraid someone would ask this question .. I've used the GOLDEN NUGGET twice .. first time on OIL (med/HVY) .. ball was GREAT .. knew what to expect .. adjusted when necessary .. blew the pins away .. second attempt allies were med/dry .. different house .. BALL WAS A FLOP! If I wanted a CONDITION SPECIFIC ball .. I would have bought something MUCH CHEAPER .. In my books .. this ball is a FLOP!

IceEmQuick .. above is what I said and you suggested:
------------------------------------------------------------------
I can use my GN from Medium light(VERY highly polished) to Flood(dull) and get a reaction of some sort. Knowing Joe Falco's history of bashing certain balls, I don't put much stock in his reviews,
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I think the difference in our thoughts on the GN is that you suggest ADJUSTING THE COVER FOR CERTAIN CONDITIONS. You are a better man then me .. I don't believe in ADJUSTING THE COVER every time the condition changes .. you do .. you're a better man then me. I don't DISLIKE the lane 1 balls .. I THINK THEY ARE OVER PRICED .. perhaps you heard me say that before ..
If I remember correctly this topic had something to do with WORSE BALL of 2003 .. sorry you don't agree with me .. guess you agree with all the others .. I UNDERSTAND .. I THINK!

I nominate everyball made in the 2003.
And LMMFAO at anybody who thinks they can use an inferno on any condition. In a flood, its skid city, and in the dry it rolls out like a champ.
Post by: Silencer on December 25, 2003, 04:44:40 AM
Best ball has to be the blazing inferno, ball gets alot of length, has great back end, very controllable, hits great, tons of messenger pins

Which is exactly why you need to know how to adjust. Not just go grab another hook in a box.

I love my throttle-r to me it was the bestball ever made. I have been had a blast with mine. Everyone else here loves them. I only now one person that hates his. I went with a 3.5 by 4 drilling it works great for medium oil. Skates to far on heavy oil. To me I love skid snap reactions I put enough hand in the ball I can play any line I want to on medium oil. If you needed the ball to move early forget it. This ball loves oily head and dry backends.

Edited on 12/25/2003 7:27 PM
The Throttle was perfectly acceptable and the Throttle Up is quite good. I know one person other than you and your buddies who liked the Throttle R of more than a dozen who drilled it. He is very heavy handed and has substantial sideroll -- which, as I said in my review, might type of bowler who might like this ball -- the R tends to even out his breakpoint problems. It is for that reason that I sold him my Throttle R -- yep, I recommended it to him as an alternative to some other equipment he was considering. However, all this proves is that most balls fit someone's game. For most general players, the Throttle R was not a good choice, while the Throttle was better and many folks have done well with the Throttle Up.

--------------------------------------------------
That's what I am trying to figure out. Worked good the first month (August)that I had it, then League play started and the Blueberry quit never to work again regardless of sanding grit and regardless of polish or no polish......It turned into a P.O.S...... and with the Emerald being so strong and powerful on such a wide range of conditions probably didn't help it any.
Ty, in reality....... after it beat you every game we bowled and you left town and moved to KC, I think it got depressed and quit.
