Critical theory anyone thrown one?
« on: August 01, 2011, 12:39:14 PM »
 Anyone thrown this ball?  If so how does it react and what conditions is it good on?

I drilled 2 so far and both have been quite a hand full on a typical houseshot with super old surface. I like to overall reaction of my 40 x 4 1/2 x 20 on a house condition that is ultra heavy and use some super slick oil SD-40 I believe it is called. I like the 50 x 4 x 55 with a p2 hole on house conditions that are a little more open and more surface on the lane panels. I also used this one more on the KEGEL patterns more then the 40 x 4 1/2 x 20. I practice and great bit on 8/1/11 on really burned up house condition I think the 50 x 4 x 55 got better reaction as

my practice seesion went on.

 

I hope I have provided some insight for you. I like this ball better because the Theorys start up a little too soon

for me and the Infinite tends to be a little later then I like on house conditions. I love the Infinite playing a straighter

line on the fresh... Overall the Critical is the best all-around ball I found recently.

Here is a video of me throwing a few shots during a THS 5 man league last night. Shouldn't have been using the ball, but who cares, it's a summer league. Drilled up 55x5x55. This ball was drilled with a 40ft flat pattern in mind, so it's not really suited for THS.

I just got one drilled Saturday 4 x3 and this ball is wickedly strong. It is much stronger than my 4x4 Theory and better carry for me :) I definately recommend this to anyone who likes to swing the ball to the ditch and watch it come roaring back...

I got my CT drilled up yesterday and threw it today.  I bowled on synthetics with a med-heavy shot. I have med speed and revs. In this house I generally start playing around the second arrow but with this ball I started at about the third. Its plenty strong and for me rolled like a solid. Its strong thru the whole lane, I thought it would be a bit more snappier than it is but Im definitely pleased with it. Its the strongest of the 3 but its a ball I could see getting me thru at least 2 of 3 games before its too much for me.
