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 90% positive he started the first game with a Paradigm.. Looked extremely close to the same colors and all

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:

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.

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!

PDW shift in the first and Agent in the second
-
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
--------------------
-KCarter
-
WTF! He threw the Agent all second game.
I'm done arguing with you, if your that stubborn then so be it.

Hey don't forget DD was using a Tropical Storm as a spare ball.
--------------------
Special... Agent-man!
-
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.

No, my name is not Prince and I'm not particularly funky.

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.

Wait is this actually an argument on whether or not PDW used the Shift in the event? Why?
--------------------
Thunderstruck $olid.
-
Some people thought he also used an original Paradigm because the Shift he used had very similar colors. That was the argument.

he used the paradigm during the week.

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

Storm's are notoriously the hardest to ID on television. I think they keep the colors similar just to mess with us LOL.
