you will not regret the choice sir!
Great to hear. I just ordered 5 new Seismic's.
Venator, Long Horn, Solaris Platinum, Euphoric, Desparado TSE.
So I will start with these and fill holes as I go, if needed.
Welcome to the family! Like mentioned above...you will not regret your choice. I've personally switched to an all Seismic arsenal summer of 2012 and have not looked back since. I started with two used pieces to test the rolls...a Blackout and an Aftermath Pearl. The spans were fairly close so I used them along with whatever other brands I was throwing at the time. Four months in, I shot my first 800 with the Aftermath Pearl...and hadn't even changed the span to fit me. I was sold...I have had every ball, and multiples of each since then, except the original Desperado. The equipment is about power and control, and they complement each other amazingly. I have since sold majority of collection, only to get some Seismic presence into my local area. I sold an extremely low game Venator (I had two) to a bowling partner and he shoots 299 with it after only a week. Everyone else has been loving theirs as well. Two houses I bowl in have changed their shots from last year, and I was battling too much hook with the equipment I decided to keep. So I was able to get my hands on the Desperado TSE recently, after demoing it last November. Absolutely what I needed for this hooking shot. I aslo sought help from the bright minds over at bowlingchat.net, and have been working with one of their valued members through PM on layouts to compliment my delivery specs. He nailed the Desperado TSE and now I have two more layouts to put on my Raging Bull and Solaris TSE once I get them. The Euphoric, Raging Bull, Solaris, Desperado TSEs will be my house shot arsenal the rest of the year. I only have a Venator, Euphoria, Blackout, Epicenter, Aftermath Pearl (retired), Requiem (NIB), and Dominion as my current other Seismic pieces. I love the look of the TSE series so much that I think I can use them confidently for a full league season. All the other pieces rolled great for me at some point...but I want to continue utilizing the help of the people at bowlingchat.net to maximize the effectiveness of the equipment and my game. Re-drilling them was an option, but selling them may be the option I choose of some of the others that I did not have laid out by them. A few that I had drilled by my home shop do match my game...a couple have become condition and surface specific.
On top of the equipment, the customer service provided by Seismic has been the best ever. Great staffers and a great marketing and managing director in Ryan Press. Has the customers in mind with their direction....couldn't ask for a better group.
