Dumb questions #2 and #3 :)
« on: May 26, 2010, 02:27:34 AM »
Ok here we go:

#2) Has anyone thrown and Seismic equipment at Nationals yet? Especially interested in the Requiem and Aftermath. If so, what were your impressions? Did they seem to give a good read, too aggressive, not aggressive enough, etc?

#3) Are any of the vendor booths selling Seismic in Reno this year?

As to my last questions, probably asked already, but I didn't see them so I apologize if these are redundant. Thanks for your help.

I know you and I have had issues in the past and I am prepared to let that drop as it is in the past.

I used a Solaris Reqiuem in Team, Doubles and most of Singles.

I had a great reaction, SR was quick off the spot but easy to read and control, I had to be pretty accurate with my marks at the arrows but I had about 3 boards at the break point, carry was great, very few ten pins, no nine or eight pins. When It started to hang I would move left with my feet target, arrows and break point. SR was plenty aggressive, It would actually burn up if I didnt move left enough OR stayed in one spot to long.

I dont know if you have a AfterMath already but I have one and It didnt make the trip out, With how I have it drilled it would have been to snappy and to hard to control IMO. (for ball patterns check my profile)

No Sesimic booth.

They should do a seismic booth! I could work it in the summer lol.

I may use my aftermath for burning up a spot but I like to use low flare layouts at nationals. I shot 1980 last year and hoping for much better this year. Most likely I will use an epicenter or requiem with the pin far from my pap.

Mainzer: A quote I like, from the movie JFK, not sure who said it originally: "What is past is prologue"

Thanks for the info. I don't have any Seismic equipment yet, just looking into it. I am still a little gunshy, since I bowl a few regionals now and then, and I would hate to really start liking this stuff just to have to put it away when I really need it. This has kept me from Visionary/Seismic/Lane #1 (as well as other things) in the past. But as I haven't gotten to as many regionlas as I used to in the past, starting to think about trying these brands. Have heard a lot of good things about Seismic and wanted to see how they worked at Nationals. Probably too late to get one for this year, since they don't have anyone selling them in Reno, but maybe next year.

Thanks to all who responded.
