Title: Flashpoint still lovin the reaction
Post by: LuckyLefty on August 07, 2005, 02:48:55 PM
Controllable, yet almost flippy.  For me seems to almost always find a way to pop the hole and generate a lot of reaction!

Unfortunately many times it gets carry that is unreal but when dead solid flush it has always not come thru for me like I expect.

On teh ohter hand...Today it was really a little oily for it and ball was getting down the lanes and flipping hard at a point that looked late to me but somehow still had incredible carry while only catching a nick of teh head pin.

I still think the Flash Point was/is a very under rated ball. For some reason people just didn't like it or didn't notice it, what a shame.

Pete Weber made this thing look GOLDEN at the regional last weekend.  When the Vertigo became too much, it looked like he made a light shift right at the breakpoint, gave it some room and the Flashpoint struck and struck the last few games of the block.  I was very impressed.  Very clean and smooth read off the break.

Mine is just getting better!

I'd loved to had seen that ! I really think, now  maybe, folks will notice how good this ball is. I have one,and one NIB just in case,  don't use it much anymore, went to another company, but it sure is a good 'work horse' of a ball.
