Motiv TX-1 in Action! (Vid)
« on: February 18, 2009, 12:41:50 PM »
Here is my first attempt at making and editing a ball reaction video.  I was throwing mostly the new TX-1 and in a few shots the Agent Orange.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBTqG6d4L0E

First off let me tell you, this ball was definitely not the right ball for this house.  It didn't help that I throw 16's and this was 15, so it felt like a piece of paper in my hands, but yea really spotty.  I scuffed up the surface a bit, and it did more of a hook/stop type reaction, really strange.

I am going to throw it at another house next week and see how it works over there.  Less overall oil and a bit shorter as well.  If that doesn't work, well I guess I'll change the cover, and if that doesn't work, well I will give this to my dad.

Anyway, enjoy the video!

I tried watching it on my iPhone but it's saying that the video is unavailable.

You definitely had more room with the AO, but I personally really like the look of the TX-1.

  I always liked a ball reaction that allowed me to move my feet a little further out and just "stuff" the ball into the pocket.

The TX-1 does look cool, but wasn't right for this shot.  Too much oil for it to turn the corner consistently. I will probably take it to another house next week and shoot some more video to show the difference in shots, and ball reaction for the TX-1.

Most drill Motiv equipment too weak.  Your TX1 is drilled to weak for the amount of oil on a THS that you bowl on from the left side.  JMO.  SX1 would have rolled earlier than the TX1.

Good first effort on video.

It's okay, I usually can't use the AO at that house either.  I'm sure it will be fine at the other bowling alley I bowl at.
