First 6 Shots with my AMB Particle...VIDEO inside!
« on: April 24, 2008, 10:27:35 PM »
Alright Boys and Girls,

Jason asked me to film my first few shots with this ball OOB...The layout is 4.25" x 4" x 2.5" pin buffer....i have seen this ball go down the lane before but the surface was always highly polished...i can see why now!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xGfFsQlgDQ

For those of you saying my ball doesn't hook, get this ball, it will hook!...and if you cant hook this ball, i think you need to find a different sport

Also an extra bonus sneak peak at the gladiator pearl at the end of the video!  This is a THS with some carrydown in the back, so the reaction of the pearl is a bit tamer than normal...on a fresh shot with clean backends this thing can go just about sideways!

Thanks for watching!

I would imagine at the stock surface you could you this ball on fresh flat pattern or something like the Shark and have a little area to play with.

I am pretty sure it is OOB a ball I could not use, even if drilled weak. I think at 2.000 Abralon it would be a good heavy oil ball for me and my style (nodding over to charlest and his surface prep wisdom). But is very good that there (still) are balls like this out there. Particle has becoema less frequent sight in current arsenals, and personally I'd prefer it for oily shots to pure reactives.

i think if would have seen this video before i would have drilled mine weaker.  I have had to many balls claim to be hook monsters fall a little short.  i will work with the surface a little.  I have come pretty good at that with other equipment.  ball spinner was probably the best investment i made.  

my only question with surface adjustments with this ball.  Can i use abralon since this ball is a particle.  i know the first particles i had said use trizact or scotch-brite.  Sandpaper was bad.  Can i also use the trizacts with this ball?  i do have some of those still left from my HPD

one nice thing about this ball is that it filled a spot on my arsenal that i never could fill.

With a ball as aggressive cover as this is, a weaker drilling will make maybe 1/10 the difference that surface adjustmenst will.

I'd suggest sandpaper or ABralon or ScotchBrite nylon pads.

Britton - What is the layout on the Gladiator Pearl you roll in the end of the video?
