Mine just showed up! I'll be getting it drilled tonight and maybe throw it a couple times in practice on Thursday but than it's back in the bag. It's going to be way too much ball for the local THS.

Why would you buy a ball you can't enjoy? only buy a heavy oil ball if you bowl on heavy oil

Great looking ball non the less, i just couldn't put it to good use, would have to stand 2 lanes over and lob to get it to stay on the lane lol

I will put it to use. I bowl regularly on collegiate sport shots. I just won't be able to throw it on Thursday because that's my league night. :) Don't you worry about me getting use of the ball.

They're called tournaments, Also can be for sport patterns. Some of us only bowl house shots because we have to practice between tournaments.

Yeah, I guess they have to get permission from the PBA or something to lay down their shots.. I don't know...

I just remember asking why the alley that runs the sport league around here doesn't do a PBA Experience league instead of Kegel sport shots and they said something about not wanting to pay the extra money or whatever.

I asked that and the maintenance guy said that he got in trouble for puttting the shark down and that league bowlers would complain less it was a sport league or something... I actually think it may be a out for them not to do it but they have since then said that they might do a sports league during the summer i duno though

As if we really need more fire power, we have it now! WHAT A NIGHTMARE!! Jason has allowed me to be present when they do the operation on his new ball of pin destruction! He will be present guiding the driller through all the step’s he wants incorporated into his NEW NIGHTMARE of total ruin!
Ruin to any foe that comes between him, and his goal of total victory! This NIGHTMARE will in all sense of the word just that,,,,,, NIGHTMARE on Vivion street today at 6:30pm! This ball TAKES no prisoners, and leaves a battle field of sad broken bowlers!

Yes, with only four loses since the beginning of this league of ”The Magnificent 5”, and more victories then Carter has liver pills, we may now have that goal of: No More Then 10 Losses This Entire Bowling League! Only time will tell if this Dream comes true, or turns into a NIGHTMARE!!! (Laugh out loud)!!!! LAUGH OUT LOUD LOUDER!!!

I will be there in Surgical attire, watching the holes, angle, pitch being drilled by the skilled hands of Dr James!

If all goes well, it should give birth to a 15lb NIGHTMARE!!

I get Goosebumps just thinking about the TERROR it will evoke! (had to use the word terror Jason, somewhere since you’re not getting that deviant ball) lol

Just about 2 1/2 hours till surgery begins on the Nightmare! I'll be the operating room assistant. Actually, I'm gonna draw my own layout on the ball, and just tell the driller where to drill. He's the surgeon, but today, I'm the doctor. Can't wait to use it. Will post results later.

Iceman don't get too close, you might make Jason freeze up and cause some real damage to the poor nightmare

Ball was awesome -- I was not.

That thing was so strong and loved the reaction. I just had my own issues tonight, so I didn't shoot real well. I'll be using it again tomorrow morning for practice. I'm sure I'll do a lot better then. What a BEAAAAAAAST of a ball.

What layout did you go with?

It was a mess. I drew up a 65x4x45 and somehow, my finger holes and thumb were going to be too close to my pin and mass bias. We just moved everything over, so my layout was washed out. Looks like something with an extremely small pin to pap angle now. Regardless, it still hooks like crazy.

I passed out during the surgery!!! Too much plastic coming out of the ball for me!! Next thing I know I was on lane 13, and Jason was throwing the NIGHTMARE!!

In a perfect world a high performance ball would work the same on all lane conditions, but sadly not as I've learned.

I find the high performance balls lose energy too much without heavy oil.

Someday I'll probably buy another super high performance ball just for the fun of seeing it hook from side to side. Right now actually excited about weak equipment.

I threw it a lot better tonight. Shot 706 with a couple open frames. 66.7% Strike percentage with it, which is usually about what I average. I had bigger finger inserts put in... I think the other ones were too small, and that was affecting my accuracy and the consistency of the ball coming off my hand.

I slumped all last week, and even though it wasn't a FANTASTIC night, it was a great night for me in regards it hopefully will break me out of my slump, and it gave me some confidence with this new Nightmare. We're getting to know each other better now. I'll take it to meet the parents once it gets me another 300, or an 800. :D
