Paradigm is
« on: October 11, 2005, 09:10:46 AM »
AMAZING!!!  I just bought one of these and out of the box, no practice other than warm ups 258-247-256 761. Everytime I missed out to the right it would always dig back and crush the hole. I haven't ever seen a ball with as much backend as this ball has. I won all my brackets and the clean game pot. It's half paid for itself in one night. This ball allowed me to play inside everyone else and never labored once to make it back from the outside.
This ball came with some cool drill sheets and we went with 4A layout. Think I might buy another and go with a little weaker drill to have a little more control. The smell must have worked cause I had all the concentration I could handle. I give this ball an A++ and suggest this ball to anyone looking for a STRONG pearl reactive ball.

Ah, the wonders of a house shot!

Doesn't everyone say this about every new ball, EVERY TIME?

How about some details?
What do you usually use on this oil pattern and why isn't it any good now?
WHat oil pattern, what lane surface?
How does the ball compare to other balls drilled the same way?

Saying you shot 800 with a new ball once doesn't say much about the ball or you or what normally happens.

What you describe,
"Everytime I missed out to the right it would always dig back and crush the hole."
is the walled-up house shot, not a great ball.

Yes, or no?

I am not criticizing your bowling or the Potential this ball MAY have. What I am criticizing is your description.

Charlest- Sorry that I didn’t include this info on my first post, I’m just your normal bowler that was excited at what he saw.  Yes this was just a house shot, about 3 boards to hit to make it back to the hole and my average is 210. So for the night I was 130 over. I have been using an Absolute Inferno, laid the paradigm out the same with the pin just a little higher on the storm. The absolute didn’t have the backend reaction that I was looking for so my proshop showed me this ball and I bought it. I bowl on synthetic lanes normally stand on 23 playing 15 to 7 with my Absolute, can let it out to 5 but outside of there is usually a no no. With the Paradigm I had to move my feet about 8 left, going over 22 out to 7 about 3 feet farther down the lane. I let it out to about 3-4 a couple too many times and this is why I was impressed on it’s ability to “dig” back and still make it to the hole where normally I would have left the fence. By being able to play inside everyone else, I didn’t have to move or change balls where normally in the third game I change to a Fired Up and move left about three boards. I'll try to post again next week after I have another 3 on it or this weekend if I go practice.
