Happy w/ Invasion
« on: February 05, 2010, 12:53:55 AM »
It seems like there is a lot of uncertainty with the Invasion. I just picked mine up yesterday and threw 1 game with it.  I def need some more games to see how adaptive it is before I can post a full on review of it.  Mine is drilled pin kicked out over the ring, MB is about 3" vertically down from the pin.  I'm just going by what I remember once I get back home I can give a more detailed description.  Anyways the ball gets into a great roll in the midlane.  It retains it till the break point with a strong continous movement through the pocket.  Even with the OOB cover it seems to retain energy well enough that I believe I could use it for 2 or more games starting on fresh lanes.  All in all I feel it was a great purchase it hits like a bomb and is predictable.  I can't wait to put more games on it.

Good luck, according to all the "Experts" on here it will crack or die within a month. And its only Storm balls, you should have bought a Mission, they are flying off the shelves!

That was sarcasm, my friend. BTW, im not sold on the Mission just yet. They're gonna need more than a Mission to get turned around, especially with the stuff their sister companies C300 and Hammer are putting out.

I got my Invasion the other day. Today I threw 9 games with it and averaged 228. I like mine. The coverstock is the strongest I've ever thrown.

The Invasion is a great piece by storm. I punched up 2. The 1st is a 4.5 x 5 (pin under) 2000 abralon finish. This ball rolls very early and has a strong arc to the pocket. Ball 2:  5  1/4  x  3  3/4 pin up with some Reacta Shine.. this ball gets long and has a sharp backend reaction. Great 1 -2 combo. Big fan of this release

My Invasion won't do anything.  I primarily bowl on shorter to drier patterns after all of the Saturday night drunks are finished bowling.  Could the fog machines and strobe lights be impacting the lack of reaction I am receiving from this piece?

You may have to re-drill if the ball won't move. I threw it for 3 games today on HPL with overlay and last nights dried up oil. I was playing 30 to 10 and the ball was still coming up high. If your's ain't moving, something is wrong. This ball is very stong.

It's probably because I don't have the CG kicked out far enough right?    (I think you missed the sarcasm in my original post)

Right over my head. It must be because of my Asperger's syndrome that I missed that one.
