a little news from up north
« on: October 24, 2004, 05:19:24 PM »
I just wanted to give some quick feedback about the newer products.
Sorry I couldnt come aroung to posting this before, been busy working on a
few things.

I am getting alot of positive feedback about all of the equipment,
especially the Rule and the FAZ.  It fits well with everyone's
needs/wants.  The FAZ bridges the gap in most of my clients arsenal.  For the
crankers, they are loving the Hexplosion and the Sheer Havoc.  The versatility of the WOW 2 cover stock on the Hexplosion, and not to mention the price,
allows everyone to try new drillings and fall in love with this ball.
Since we dont have too many bowling centers that have a heavy
concentration on oil on the lanes, the FAZ, Sheer Havoc and the Hexplosion is by far the better balls for your average bowler out here in Ontario.  The Rule has it's success as well, but more entry level bowlers are intimidated by the
ball...haha

As for me, I have been falling short of a few honour scores, but still
posting high numbers.  I use my Rule in league play and just move deep
with it.  I have posted a 745, 768 and a 781 since league started with the
Rule.  2 weeks ago, during my coaching session, I had a "beat the coach"
competition with the kids.  The FAZ was giving me the best control since
the lanes were quite sloppy.  I whooped those kids right out of the centre
with a 245, 279, 259, 300.  I felt bad that no one beat me, so I treated the
kids a pizza lunch...that would be pretty traumatizing for me if I was a kid.


Hope you guys like the new equipment that is being released...You guys will hear more from me soon!

keep up the good bowling everyone!!

Hey Byron,

Good to hear from you bud.  I couldn't agree with you more, the FAZ has been a great "overall" ball and still gives me that great read when the lanes become a little touchy.  I do have some decent oil out here so the Rule has been just fantastic for that, just drilled a few recently for some customers(bcalub and spanky) and they couldn't believe how strong yet controlled the ball really is.  

I'm going to surprise you one day and sneak in as one of the juniors since I can probably fit right in...

I've noticed a lot of the bowling centres up here are putting down medium oil patterns.  This is really frustrating because last year there was a lot more heavy oil patterns so I recently bought a few med/heavy oil balls and now I find myself standing quite deep most of the time.  I can basically use my med/heavy oil balls only on a sport shot because it has enough oil to keep the ball on the right side of the lane, lol!  I'm loving the backend of the Rule and the incredible hitting power of the Animal.

I'd have to agree with you guys on the FAZ.  From what I've seen from a couple people in my area (one of which is another Track staffer and the other is an avid Track equipment user), the FAZ seems like a very versatile ball.  It's also seems very forgiving (even on a sport shot) when the lanes start to break down.  I personally don't have one so I'm planning to get one in the near future...but the Xception has caught my eye...here goes another $350CAD

Hey Byron, congrats on your 300!  Was this at Paradise Lanes?  Also, do you know where the next YBT event will be at?  I can't find my schedule sheet, heh.

Hey Rick, have you ever tried doing the limbo?  I'm sure that if you have, you've won no problem!  It's starting to get pretty cold up here (in Canada ) so if you come, you MIGHT shrink even more, eheh.

Believe it or not, the Rule has been an AMAZING control ball for me. We set the ball up incorrectly (my mistake) and ended up with the MB sitting to the left of the thumb and some weight taken out of the NAP. The pin on mine is sitting under and between the fingers. Shortly after discovering my screwup, I went and polished the cover of the ball and what I have found is that I have a ball that goes longer than my threat and gives a little less reaction on the dry. Works really well when I get myself on a medium-dry shot. Still works like crap on toast, but what other than urethane or plastic doesn't?
