AGENT first impressions...
« on: May 11, 2006, 06:06:48 PM »
All I can say is WOW!!  I got this ball drilled according to Layout #3 on the drilling instructions (too lazy to look it up right now, its late).  Anyways, again, WOW...this ball hooks like a dream.  Just the right amount of hook I was looking for and that was missing from my Doom.  Not to say that the Doom isn't great coz it is, but this ball...speechless.  I thought this ball was going to have a very even arc, but it was very angular...just right.

I also discovered the beauty of the 5 step approach.  It gives me better timing, power, and more revs...more to come...

So tonight was my first ever league bowling night.  I was very anxious.  I played up the 2 arrow for down and in play.  Set a new personal record for both single game and series posting a 155-213-173 for a 541 series.

After all of your criticism and help I continue to improve.  Also, this ball continues to impress me.

Awesome!  You are making me want to join a league now.  I should have joined a summer one to start out but I just don't think I am consistent enough to want to bowl in a more formal setting yet.

I'm glad storm did not call this ball secret agent because it is not a secret anymore.I purchased mine thursday and went to lanes and was instantly happy.I kept the drill simple something like #3 but with the pin at 1:00 and virtual mb just below the thumb.This ball is going to be a THS killer for me it allowed me to move deeper and have a ton of recovery.I had a paradigm that i did not match up with I have had a few storms but the AGENT ranks right up there with the el-nino 2000 and the eraser pbt as one of my alltime favorites smooth thru the front and charge on the backend the carry is great.I'm glad i didn't drill it stronger as this ball is VERY STRONG so if you are looking for a strong pearl this is it! but the reason it not a secret I was bowling next to a fellow league bowler who was practicing and not doing well went out and bought one friday and was using it in summer league was stringing 4 & 5 strikes with no problem.

Haha!  I agree, this ball will be seen more and more throughout the summer.  Whenever I walk into a proshop to have something done to the ball I always get questions about it.  A lot of people with Paradigms are surprised to know that this ball is more aggressive.  I seem to be the only one in the lanes with an Agent so far, but I expect more and more to have one as the summer progesses.
