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

No it wasn't! I know he did use the Shift in the 2nd match, but I am almost positive that was a Paradigm the first game!

Weber used a shift the whole first game, i was there, and in practice for the championship match he lost his look with the shift so he switched to an agent

WTF! He threw the Agent all second game.

I'm done arguing with you, if your that stubborn then so be it.

In that particular photo the ball is photo shopped into his hand. That is not the actual ball.

Okay retards, forget the photoshopped picture because that was not even from the US Open telecast. I thought he was throwing a Paradigm also UNTIL I looed at the ball and it was a SHIFT. Even http://buddiesproshop.com says "Shift and Agent". There was no Praradigm thrown. Stop bickering over this and move on.

Yeah, guys, this really isn't worth getting so worked up over. Nevertheless, as has already been stated and shown, PDW used the Shift and Agent. The Shift looked a great deal like an original Paradigm, which I thought it was at first also, but a look at the bolt logo clearly proves that it was the Shift.

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.

Wait is this actually an argument on whether or not PDW used the Shift in the event?  Why?

Some people thought he also used an original Paradigm because the Shift he used had very similar colors. That was the argument.

Oh I see.  That makes sense.  It was the Shift though.
