Video - http://media.putfile.com/Mean-Machine (thrown OOB, little oil soaked)

Equation 4 1/4 x 3 pin 3 inches above mid line, 11/16 hole, 2 1/4 deep on pap

Video - http://media.putfile.com/Equation-90 (thrown OOB)

Mean Machine was crossing 16-17 at athe arrows getting one out to even 6 board late and able to bend it back.

Equation was much straighter playing 13-8 and back.  Feel free to ask any questions, thanks.

PS. Thanks to nonamekevin again for his excellent camera work.

Thanks to Re-Evolution for putting them in a  format I can down load and see. I for some reason cannot view putfiles as they are on line.

Rick,
Did you do anything to the suface of the MM before the video?

Thanks
Shipper

Rick! Glad to see you back. Looks like you got your phone line situation resolved. Cool dude! Thanks for the comparison vids man. I have a better look now in what both of these balls can do.

You were right about where you were hitting your marks. After watching the vids a few times, here is what I got (approximate guesses after pausing the vids a few times hehe)...

Mean Machine
Shot #1 17 at arrows & 7-8 at breakpoint
Shot #2 16 at arrows & 6 at breakpoint
Shot #3 16 at arrows & 7 at breakpoint

Equation
Shot #1 13 at arrows & 7 at breakpoint
Shot #2 12 at arrows & 6 at breakpoint
Shot #3 12 at arrows & 5 at breakpoint

Looks like breakpoint stayed about the same. AMF Southshore Lanes can be tricky, especially with the Out of Bounds at 5 board-Gutter. I like how there was at least a 4-5 board separation between both balls. Looks like a nice 1-2 punch. You could've used either ball. Mean Machine had some guts in the midlane and from my experience at Southshore, there seems to be more units of oil in the middle. MM seemed to handlle it nicely!

Rick, did you make any surface adjustments to these? Equation looked polished. Does it come OOB factory polished?

P.S. Nice Cameo Dan LOL! When I saw that Big Head blocking the camera on the first MM shot, I knew it was you! JK bud! Also, Kev, nice work again. Is directing movies in your future calling your name? Hehe

Thanks man!

Hey rick could you help us out on the surface used and the nature of the beast you were bowling on? They lanes looked like they were playing tight through out. Was there alot of buff out on the backends?

IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT TWINS

I thought as much by watching the ball's transition and how it moved throughout the lane. Pretty impressive given the nature of the pattern. I have seen several patterns like that and pretty much can tell it was similar to what I have exsperienced before. I might be looking at getting the equation. The mean machine would probably be to strong for what I am wanting.
