Twist- Quick idea
« on: November 19, 2012, 08:33:36 PM »
I know your trying to figure out the idea of bowling balls for conditions, but this is literally your 10-15th thread on the subject.  Listen to what people are saying AND GO TO A PRO SHOP AND GET ADVICE FROM SOMEONE THAT CAN WATCH YOU AND MAKE SUGGESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! None of us know a thing about your bowling except you want wicked backend with 250 revs.  NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.  GO TO A PRO SHOP AND GET ADVICE FROM SOMEONE THAT CAN WATCH YOU AND MAKE SUGGESTIONS!!!!!!

I don't mean to come off like a dick, but it's been for like 5 days now.  Look at what people have suggested, form an opinion or plan and follow through!

Sorry for my rant

Modern Marvel vs Victory Road (pearl) (1)
When was the R2S coverstock released? (2)
I have an undrilled Vivid.. (3)
Why doesn't my Modern Marvel feel like a strong ball? (4)
Vivid Dream, War Game.. anyone know about these? (5)
Desperate, please help me find a new main ball. (6)
Can anyone suggest a really good pro shop in Cali? (7)
heavy vs medium oil balls, do I have it right? (8 )


Sorry, it was only 8 threads, yet all deal with the basically the same problem/ball issue, and have answers from the same people, saying the same things to your problem.  On here you can get ideas, but none are going to be exactlly what you need unless you post a video or something that people can go off of.  Your best option, which has been stated numberous times, is to visit one of the proshops suggested, talk with one of the drillers suggested, and listen to that professionals suggestions. 

Am I the only one that sees this? 

Again, I don't mean to be a dick, but we could debate what's best for you for hours, and never really know what's best for your situation and problem, because no one has ever seen you throw a ball!

I have to agree with Storm here.  Usually it only takes one thread to get what you need.  But if you have started 8, then that says you havent liked what you have gotten so far and just keep posting new stuff until someone finally tells you what you want to hear. 

What you need to do is instead of coming on here looking for a pro shop, you need to go to some of the best bowlers in your area and ask where they go and why.  Then make your own judgment based on what you hear.

+1 on that comment.

Though I gotta say I'm going crazy over the money I had taken from me! All I know is everyone is going down Sun mornings!! To quote the Dude:

"I do mind, the Dude minds. This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man."

Ain't this the truth!

Let's hope not, and hope that I can actually carry out the corners from now on! On a lighter note it's the Hy-Road's 4th Bday! I think I'll order myself one to celebrate it's 4th! Who's with me?

Nope, I saw it too.  After mentioning multiple posts in a different thread, this is the answer I got after giving similar answers at least 5-8 different times:

oooook?
What the hell was I supposed to be doing? I don't get it. You people need some ****ing lives.

My feeling is that the answers and advice that all of us gave weren't exactly what the poster wanted to hear.  What are we all supposed to do?  Sugarcoat advice?  Don't think so.

Storm22: actually it would be 9 if you include the comment about how all tech is about heavy oil in the Hy-Road turns 4 thread that I started.

The definition of insanity is doing something the same way and expecting a different result.  Who needs a life?

For several very obvious reasons and with much sadness on my part, twist has become the first and only entry in my IGNORE list.

Oh no! Woes me, some random person on the Internet won't see posts.. All because I posted a whopping 8 topics

No, a person with great bowling knowledge and who has helped countless others on this site, won't see your posts.  Really, your loss.

I did the same as you charlest, and he became the first and only with my ignore list too.  To irritate charlest really says something.  After all, he is one of the most respected members on this site and has been on here much longer than most of us have. 

After personally offering several honest suggestions and advice that could help with the Modern Marvel, explaining differences between the VR Pearl and MM, why the MM was reacting how it was with different surfaces, and after many of our other members doing the same,  it's clear that he doesn't like or appreciate the honest advice we were giving.  Then to come back and ask what is wrong with us for mentioning the 8-9 posts about the same issue is purely assinine.  No further advice will be given from me to him on anything.
