Double Agent for Flat patterns?
« on: April 07, 2007, 12:53:08 PM »
Anybody using one on flat shots?  Thinking of drill one up with 4 1/2 pin-pap under ring to get it rolling and keep the flare down with 25 degree mass bias to control the back end.  Any comments or suggestions?  Thanks

I had one like this, except closer to 45 degrees. Used it on flatter PBA patterns to start when there was high volume. Ended up giving it up because I used it maybe twice all last season cuz there's only one tough regional/senior pattern.
Now they bring back the Tour patterns and I kind of wish I had kept it! May have to drill another.

Have heard the ball rolls and hits terrible, is this true, or are these just speculations.

I REALLY like my Double Agent. In box it's a very rolly medium-medium/heavy oiler, polished it's very clean through the front with a very strong arc backend reaction.

Yeah, it's an awful ball, I only have one 300 with mine, lol. Maybe not the greatest ball Storm's ever made, but it has a nice predictable roll, and a good carry percentage actually, just maybe not as strong as I'd hoped it would be.

Only times i've heard this is when there is absolutely not enough oil, the ball is great when there is a good amount of oil out there. It gives a strong bannana hooking reaction from what i've seen from my buddies that have it and much like a past storm ball the Hybrid it really hits the pins very well.

The Double Agent is what it is and on the right condition it is awesome. I have one PBA regional title that I would not have won without it. Just remember, that without a good amount of oil it is not going to work box finish. Shine it up some and it becomes a little more versatile. But there is no ball made that works on ALL conditions. It only rolls and hits terrbile if you are using it on the wrong condition (not enough oil).

BTW, thanks Guzz. I just spit Diet Dew on my keyboard.  CYA in La Crosse this weekend - there is a Hooter's downtown by the river not far from the lanes.
