Hi all!
First let me thank Clint for doing a fantastic job drilling my new toys up
First my specs...
PAP 4-5/8 over 3/8 up
300 rpm guesstimate
15 degrees of tilt
14-15 mph ball speed
What i bowl on:
Newly installed DBA IQ's
They are still playing with the shot...but right now it is VERY wet dry
medium oil in the middle to barely anything outside of 8
both balls are 16#'s and OOB
Mean Machine layout
4 x 5-1/4 MB x 3 above midline
Inital thoughts-once this ball got some frames on it it came alive...didnt throw it in league but threw it afterwords on a fresh pair that had been sitting
ended up playing 35 (feet) 15 (arrows) 10 (break point)
this ball seems like a great ball...it revs up REAL hard in the midlane and has somewhat of a hard arc in the back...drives through the pins with the best of them...if i got it out further, due to the large amount of friction out, it just burned up but sometimes still tried to recover!
as long as i keep this ball in the oil it should be fine!
Freak-A-Zoid layout
4-1/2 x 3 pin slightly above my ringfinger/bridge
x-hole about 1" past my pap
wow did i underestimate this ball! i havent seen a ball go this hard left off the spot in a long time...again this ball picks up in the midlane (maybe about 2 ft or so later than the mean tho) but it just absolutely UNLEASHES when it hits the dry.
ended up playing 33 (feet) 13 (arrows) 8 (breakpoint)
so i could play out a little more with this ball because it did not burn up in the dry as easily...tonight it outhooked (overall) the mean machine but i have a feeling with a little more oil this may skate just a touch to far
shot 227-237-200=664 Honor Match (pretty good as of late for me, i have been struggling with the new lanes)
on the medium to medium heavy stuff i feel i have a very good 1-2 punch
when i get time videos will be coming
also stay tuned my next three balls are on their way shortly...
Machine
Slash
Solution PP EX
im proud to say ive joined the legion! All questions and comments welcomed...
