First night with Neptune
« on: January 17, 2008, 11:36:35 PM »
691 out of box

253 215 223

I got this ball for a second shift house shot on thursday nights.  My previous equipment was using an NVS and possibly a levRG if I needed to use the midlane but it got impossible to control either of those.

The one thing about this ball I noticed right away is control control control.  It gave me about 3 boards of forgiveness to either side which was really nice.  I got to play 3 different lines, one straight up 10, one swinging through 12-13 and one with a light arc over 15 and each one carried great!  What surprised me was how well the third arrow line worked, it was perfect for me in the last game.

This ball doesn't necessarily have huge hitting power to it but it certainly has great pin carry.  I had some shots that didn't fully finish where pins just got blown apart.  The only time I strugged with this ball was when my original second arrow line broke down and I had to move a little left to throw over 12-13, since I was swinging it I left like 4 straight ringing ten pins.  I moved 4 and 2 and it carried everything.

I definitely recommend this ball for those looking for a light oil carrier.  It can handle a little more oil as well but this ball really shines with length and controlled movement at the pocket.

Insidedrive,

What layout did you go with on the Neptune?  Nice shooting.

The layout I went with was I think drilling model number one with the cg in position 3

Basically pin over the ring finger with the cg kicked way out, this is for maximum length with controllable back end, and it's exactly what I get!
