Congrats and Welcome!

Rick,

What's your take on the Freakazoid and Zone Classic?  Are both suited for similar conditions?

Congrats EX(Carl)!!

Personally, I cant thank either of you enough with all the help you have given me in choosing equipments and layouts.

Quite a few nights I sat on the phone with Tenpinspro(Rick) for hours talking about layouts and equipment and just good old bowling stuff!!

And just last week, EX gave me a suggestion on drilling my Animal. Well lets just say that the drilling does exactly what I wanted the ball to do. And this ball lives up to its name!!

Both are very knowledgeable about the game and equipment.

Thanks for all your help!!

Carl!  Congrats, always thought you would be next to make it.  Now all I need to do is go bowl (read: win) some regionals and maybe I can get a look by the Track Team :-)  Seriously though, congrats EX, good luck to you.

Congrats to Carl !

You have been a great contributor here, and enjoyed the deal we did as well. BTW, my son is tearing them up with that ball! Now he is looking at another Track staffer locally to grab some stuff from, since they have the same span, and like the same layouts.

Again.....Congrats!

Vernon, can't give you a very good comparison.  I've only drilled one Classic and didn't see the guy throw it.  However, from my understanding of what the ball's supposed to do, the FreakaZoid is going to read the mids even better with a nice gradual continuation on the backend.  I don't know if the cover on the CZ can handle the oil I saw my FreakaZoid bite on.  Sorry but this is all I can say as of now.

MC, you're very welcome.  To anyone else, if you don't want to post a question openly, feel free to pm myself or Ex for assistance(volunteering his help).  I jumped on BR to help and that's what I'm just trying to do...

Chapman, (low blow) you know Ex is running outside every time a brown truck drives by to see if it stops....but the darn thing just keeps going....

Smash9, Ex and I are now going to get matching "silver" outfits just like in Austin Powers for our next dbls tourney....

I don't find answering questions for anyone an annoyance. I wish when I was getting started in bowling that I had a great resource like Ballreviews, and a great resource like Rick to tap into for info.
