What balls were used at US Open???
« on: March 05, 2007, 12:12:33 PM »
Sorry if I missed this post...

I read what someone wrote about (our own) Jeff Carter and Mister Pete used on the show. I did not recognize the other balls.

THANKS in advance!!!!!!!!!


Take care,   Jeff

Jeff was throwing an Agent, PDW was throwing I believe a Paradigm, Shift, and Agent at different times. DD used a Spitfire and Wes a power machine

Correct, except PDW didn't throw a Paradigm, just a Shift and Agent.

When? He started with a Shift and stayed with it against Carter, then swapped to an Agent against Malott. If he threw a regular Paradigm, it was only for a shot mixed in somewhere.

Carter threw at least two different Agents; one had the pin below the ring and the CG almost in the palm, perhaps slightly left. The other looked kind of Rico-ish.

I'm 99% sure the first match was the original Paradigm. I remember seeing the purple and gold and thinking wow the original Paradigm. And it looked the same the entire match. I didn't notice a change until the final match. I could be wrong. Haha I wish the match was on youtube.

They look very similar, but I saw the logo. But heres more proof:

http://stormbowling.com/bowling-news/story.asp?enewsid=2313&intl=True

quote:
Weber struck in his first five frames in the title match after starting with the first eight in his semifinal win, leaving the 10-pin both times. Malott had a couple chances to get back in the match, particularly after Weber opened in the 8th, but Malott struck and spared in the 10th meaning Weber only needed six pins in the 10th frame for the win. Weber switched to a Storm Agent in the final match. In the semifinal, Weber came close to the first televised 300 game of his career, with eight straight strikes until leaving the 10-pin. The match was decided early on as Jeff Carter, making his first career TV appearance, struck just once in frames 3-7 as Weber went on to the 267-192 win. Weber used the new Storm SHIFT in that match.
