Title: machine - first impressions
Post by: YetAnotherTenPin on July 15, 2006, 08:01:49 AM
Drilled up the machine last week and man this ball keeps impressing me.

Layout:
Pin above ring finger
Mb in the strong position (2" below thumb)

Surface: Box

This ball has great continuation through the deck. It rolls so heavy and strong. Reacts really well to hand adjustments and ballspeed. It's consistency and look is
easy to read and well behaved. Overall I can't say enough about this ball. I really loved my gp2, but I belive this ball has alot more in it than the gp2 ever did.

yeah, its a great ball. i just started throwing it again, and my scores are in the high 250's.

just one key tip: make sure you always keep it clean, after each bowling event, such as a league, open play, etc..

My machine is over 50 games already and still hooking. The reason is after every 3-7 games I use powerhouse to clean it. I use my machine in med-heavy to light oil as long as there is oil in the middle. I start out as a stroker style for med-heavy oil than as a crancker for med to light oil.

One thing that REALLY surprise me is the coverstock it does suck up oil.

Well, my league start at 11 pm and there a league before that so it's mainly for med oil. The first 2 games is fine but the last one game is light oil. That a reason y looking for a artillery, reactive, equation, or the interia.

light oil = desert heat

and whoever designed a league to be at 11 pm, is crazy.

Snoop,
I really do not know if any of those balls are going to be the answer for dry lanes.
If you are bowling a late league like that the logical answer would be the desert heat. If you speed is that low you are going to need a ball that naturally pushes through the heads and will not overreact off of the dry down the lane.

Goodluck,
Carl
