New on the Approved list.......
« on: January 27, 2015, 12:24:12 PM »
For those of you who have not seen, the Approved Ball list has a Greese Monkey Whack and a Guru Mighty. The Guru Mighty looks an awful lot like the ball in the Guru comparison vid mentioned as "coming soon".

Wonder what these 2 are all about if they are truly coming to the market soon, ie covers, etc.

WOWZERS!

Phil, if the Guru mighty has essentially the same construction characteristics as the Guru original, save for the additive characteristics that produces, what, about a foot more in length and equally as strong response on the backend, can it be used on fresh heavier oil volumes? Or will it need a defined hook/hold area?
Ball speed avg. (18.25 mph)
Rev rate avg. (400-428 rpm)

I think it works great out of the box on heavier patterns but ideally when you need a bit more length than the Guru.

With the right surface could this lower revs/speed bowler use it on THS?

I am a rev dominant player due to my slower speed and I used it on the house shot. I didn't change the surface just used the control drilling layout that is on our website and in the box.

If pearlized is an esthetic is it safe to say the difference in pearlized and solids is based on surface and additives not the "pearlized appearance? Does baking temps affect the hook of the cover? Same cover backed at two different temps get different results on lane?
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

From the conference calls we've had with Phil, Mo, & the Brunswick "Scientists" the shape is created using one of the base resins and then adding one or more of the additive for the reaction (hook, skid, etc.) the color or apperance is just cosmetic.

If the shape is created based on the additives used could someone please make a video comparison with both balls finished at the same surface to show the difference the additives make.

After watching the video again, i see that the balls are at box finish so the surface is not the same (1500 vs 4000)
