Even the announcers were laughing and Ritchie Allen was saying 'wow what a great ball for Chris as he left split after split on the Xtra Frame broadcast. I just saw it last night because it was cold and I couldn't sleep.
Is Chris Barnes crazy? Look up the ball on bowlingballreviews if you don't know about it. Some plastic balls hit better than it. And I thought him using Messengers on TV was bad LOL...

A friend earned an Eagle in 91 using a Pink Hammer on one lane and a U2 on the other.
Bowling did not just begin when reactive resin was introduced nor urethane.

I've had multiple honor scores using older urethane equipment. U2 was one of the better urethane balls back in it's day and flared a good amount as a 2 piece.

Yeah I recognized the ball when I saw the picture of it. I would just think with so much money on the line and his pick of pretty much any C300 ball ever made, why he would choose a 19 year old ball - that wasn't carrying good at all and leaving many splits.

It obviously carried well enough to get him on the TV show. Despite what people say about Chris Barnes, he knows what he's doing. If he felt the U2 gave him the best look, then I applaud him for using it and not feeling like he needed to use a newer ball.
Personally I would love to see a tournament, like the plastic ball championship, where they use just Urethane equipment...all the way through the tournament.

You're a typical wall baby, you think the ball carries, and that anything not currently in production is inferior to the latest and greatest.
Maybe you don't remember this because it was ancient history (2002), but Brett Wolfe won the Masters with a Blue Hammer. There is a player on the Southern Region that has won many titles with a Blue Hammer as well.
Matchups hit...not balls....
Again...you're incredible ignorance shines through.

You obviously didn't watch Xtra frames. The announcers as well as Ritchie Allen were laughing at him. Also I don't use new equipment. Some of my stuff is like from 2005. Don't hate just because I made a comment about your american idol Chris Barnes.

Who said he was my American Idol. I think he's kind of short and a jerk....but he doesn't deserve the constant bashing that douchebags like you dish out.
You're a complete hack...you even admit it in your signature...and you constantly stand in your glass house and throw rocks at other people.

Hey O RLY,
i don't think necro is a waste of space. Actually its very entertaining to read his post after a long and hard day of work. I thing he is the funny part of Ballreviews. If you look carefully you will see how hard he is trying to get some attention. Its also fun to watch how he is building he's virtual alter ego. Very entertaining from my point of view.

Comparing Human to Dog? No, we should keep some distance to this. On the other side, my Dog never tried show something he isn't, understands and learn fast and have more talent in rolling bowlingballs than some hacks. A Dog is also an expert catching your sympathies by acting naturally AND misunderstanding the concept of lies. Obviously Humans and Dog are not comparable.
