Nothing on Photon?
« on: November 19, 2014, 12:17:23 PM »
I am surpised there hasn't been anything posted about the new Photon Low Mass Bias yet. Has any staffer gotten it yet? Any first impressions? I tend to like smoother rolling equipment and this seems like it would be that, but wanted to see if it that held up in real life.
 
I am guessing in the future we will see a High Mass Bias version as well?
 
Thanks everyone.

Umm... the high mass bias version is the bull series. Same core but they modified it for the photon

I guess I jumped the gun a little, sorry about that. For the past few releases I have seen/heard about them here before getting an email from Seismic....that wasn't the case here.
 
I am overdue to start a thread in the USBC Forum to see where the checks are from the 2015 Open anyway  :P .
 
SVstar, good point  :-[
 
Thanks guys.

Also using the Venator Pearl cover which hasn't been used on the Horn Core. Really wish I could have thrown it today.

I originally did 55*4.5*40 but shifted everything a little cause I was going to take it only half the pin and didn't like that. I got to either take it all our none. I moved everything down need to go back and get the new DA. I was going to throw it Thursday but has a situation and hopefully will get to throw it tomorrow.

Just threw mine finally. Forgot the camera so no video unless I can grab someone to hold my phone for a shot or two. If you have thrown the Desp TSE it reminds me of that just a bit stronger on the back end. Nothing to angular and still has that Seismic control. You can move in and play a tighter line and the Photon still creates the angle needed to carry the corners. Only a couple games but happy so far. First pearl since the Euphoria I have liked with the OOB surface.

Had every intention on filming today following thre high school practice. After the kids were done with their 3 hour practice, every lane in a 60 lane house, the shot was gone. I didn't want to put up a video without it being on a fresh shot. However I ended up finding a great line playing 28 to 15 with the Photon. The ball was able to get down the lane with ease and carry the corners, however did leave a hand full of 9 pins. I would definitely not be afraid to use this ball on a fresh THS or in later games of larger game set.

Wouldn't shooting on a burnt trashed lane condition show more about the ball (supposedly a light-medium ball 15 lb. 2.58 .030 .011)  show more of it's ability than shooting video on a fresh house lane condition?

That was on a very burnt house shot. Venator wouldn't have held the pocket on that. I did their the Venator Pearl a bit on the same lanes and was about 5&3 left with my hands up the side of the ball a bit.

Most house shots these days are light-medium and what a majority of what bowlers bowl on so I feel it is good to show what the ball does on everyday seen conditions.
But I did put these shots up on a burnt condition so people can see that it can be used on late shift oil and end of 6-8 game blocks with having to play the entire land.
