Two questions....
« on: October 29, 2007, 03:44:34 PM »
1.  Who has an Odyssey?  How is it drilled?  Whats your likes/dislikes?

2.  Anybody know where I can get an Earth?

Why an Earth?
It's just a pancake cored light oil resin pearl, near as I can tell. I just checked on bowlingballreviews.com
See someone use one or just want to try one?
just curious; no big deal.

I drilled one.

Real clean up front and fairly angular for a dull solid.

Odyssey stronger backend than the battle has more backend almost handles same amount of oil, love it got 3 of these. I have one quest with same drilling and it is alot tamer than the odyssey or battle, i would pass on the quest and highly recommend an odyssey drilled pin over ring on all three they all had 3 1/2-4 inch pins and have the mb is 3 different spots.

personally like the odyssey with the mb about 1 1/2 right of the thumb the best and the mb under the thumb next, the strongest mb position does not hook as much as the other's. Probably losses too much energy too quick, i think you will like the odyssey more than any battle.

Cause it looks cool....

Seriously, I was just curions.  Charlest, do you have pics of your Odysseys?  I was thinking of drilling mine 4 by 3 3/4 with the pin about 2 3/4 above the midline.  That would be above my pinky finger hole and mb about 2 inches right of the thumb.

Odyssey, Drilled 5 X 3, pin is slightly above and between both
fingers, MB swung out about 30 degrees. Used the ball in box
finish at Nationals. Strongest back end of all of my Roto balls
(Mystic, Battle, Neptune, and Venus, and Horizon Pearl). This is
a keeper that people have offered me NIB stuff from other companies,
but I wont give this one up. One great ball !

Sorry, Andrew, I didn't offer any info on the Odyysey because I don't have one. I can only offer on what I have seen others use of theirs. However, it's better if you get your data from actual users.

odyssey drilled pin under bridge with 60 degree drill is  stronger than the battle has much more back end and thats at oob. i just had both of them taken to 500 and the battle isnt even close to the osyssey at the same surface. I dont throw it well enough to use it in oil i shot it on a pretty thick oob sunday and it wouldnt move. When i tried it inside it took off not enough oil in the middle to hold it. The battle went 60 feet from where ever i played it from.

i have no dislikes about the ball my first tourney with it i shot 719 which for me is awesome. Ok i do have one dislike. I cant find a shot i can play it on 500 is way too much for ths and not enough for me in heavy,on the flip side the battle got better for ths at 500 no butn up at all in fact it was exactly what the doctor ordered i might be able to use it in league now.

My Odyssey is drilled 4-1/4" x 4-3/4".  Pin is in the ring and the MB is 1-1/2" below and right of thumb hole.  I haven't seen enough oil to get a real feel for what this ball can do.  In OOB, it was burning up and rolling out.  I've tried a coat of Finesse-It over 1000 Abralon, but still didn't like the reaction.  A friend has one and it is very angular on the backend.  I'll play with the surface more until I find something I like.

And I redrilled Joe Jrs Odyssey for myself and just shot 690 with it last night.  Drilled pin under ring, 45 degree MB, no hole.  Nice controlled reaction for me and when the lanes start to open up, it has a pretty good pop on the backends.  I keep mine at 1000 grit wet sanded and right now is the first ball out of my bag for league.  I have to thank Joe for a great deal.  Right now, I have all likes for it.

Well it is here.  I'll drill it tomorrow night and post a review after I get the chance to throw it Friday/Saturday.

Good to see it's getting some use and some good scores.
