Hi everyone, did some bowling last night with my dad and my uncles and decided to take out my Canon Elph Digital Cam. It so happens to take short Videos as well. The quality isn't the best on earth, but I guess it'll suffice. I decided to shoot a few shots of the Delta 1, GP2 & Animal and compare them for everyone.
A link to my Delta 1 mini review could be found below...
http://www.ballreviews.com/Forum/Replies.asp?TopicID=96770&ForumID=14&CategoryID=2Last night (Friday 9/09/05), we encountered a Medium THS with Semi Clean Backends and some carrydown from open play. The first portion of the video was shot on wood lanes at my Home House. Details Below...
WOOD LANESDelta 1 -
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0703/128177/Track%20Video/deltawoodlanesstoryboard.jpgThis ball wouldn't quit driving. You had to keep the speed up or you were going through the Nose or Brooklyn. You will see this on my first few shots. I left a Crossover 10 pin, a 3-6 combo, a very ugly 3-4-7-10! I believe and I forget what else. I was already standing 40 and aiming 25 at the arrows. Gave the ball a bit more room to about the 5 board at the breakpoint and finally started hitting the pocket.
GP2 -
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0703/128177/Track%20Video/GP2woodlanesstoryboard.jpgThis is my heavy oiler, but today we didn't see the floods. This ball was very even and gave me a nice look. Hit about 22-23 at the arrows with very little swing (to about 15 at the breakpoint). There was enough oil in the heads for the ball to "Push" I could play my normal speed (Around 15-16mph at the pindeck) without having to throw it too hard. The Delta with the Reactive coverstock was stronger when it sniffed the dry compared to the GP2
Animal -
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0703/128177/Track%20Video/animalwoodlanesstoryboard.jpgThe Animal kind of gave me the same look as the GP2, but had more drive. I was playing about the same line as the GP2, but moved left about 1-2 boards left. Very nice, heavy rolling, & continuous through the pin-deck.
SYNTHETIC LANESDelta 1 -
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0703/128177/Track%20Video/deltasyntheticlanesstoryboa.jpgAs discussed in my previous Delta 1 mini-review earlier in the week, Rick Leong and I threw some balls on a Medium-Heavily Oiled shot with Out Of Bounds from around the 8 Board Out. This is what Rick keeps calling the "Black & White," bsically a shot with no "Free Hook"
The Delta 1 from the shots we threw, took the OOB out of play and actually "ate or drove" some of the oil outside of 8. My Slash and GP2 continued to skate when it encountered the OOB, but it didn't seem to affect the Delta. The Delta was very continuous (Continuously split the 8-9) and I was able to really open the lane up with this ball.
My ThoughtsI only have about 12 games on the Delta, but I'd love to see how this ball would perform on Heavier and Flatter Patterns. I still haven't gotten the chance to throw the ball too much outside of the 3rd arrow. I'm going to try and bowl in some tournaments that lay out Various PBA Patterns and I'll let you know how it goes. Let's see how much this ball can handle.
Thanks to every1 here at BR.com & Track BR Forum in General for all the advice and help! I truly appreciate it. I'll keep you guys updated on the Delta 1's progress through the season.
Enough with the rambling and on to the Vid!
