Thought about polishing it up, but will see what it does on the lanes first. :)

Ya I know you wanted to do that cuz your first blood but the first blood has more of a polished finish. If you polish up this one it would end up being even more close to the first blood. I think after you use this ball your going to keep it oob and love it!

Wow, this ball hooks. Threw one game with it so far. Will take a few more games to see what it can do. Will be a good ball for Nationals next year.

Had some practice after getting the ball drilled. Did a pin up about 1" above ring finger, no idea what all those other measurements and angles people seem to spout out about how the ball is drilled. LOL.

This ball is an absolute beast. The thing hooks for days. Goes down lane and makes a hard left turn. I was standing at 35, shooting at 18-20 at the arrows with breakpoint of 7-9 and was still going heavy on the had pin. That is a lot of ball movement. Will be interested what it will do with fresh oil. Made a lot of good shots with it though so I know it will be a good one. I am going to leave the ball in it's oob finish and will go in my bag for when I need it for heavier patterns.

I was really surprised that it was out hooking my First Blood as that ball can hook a lot too. One thing this ball will certainly be good for as I mentioned in my earlier post, it will be great for Nationals for sure next year.

Cannot wait for leagues to start next week.

I told you bro. put this thing on some oil it will go long then move clean and hard into the pins. Its Easy to read and takes adjustments well. Nomad has been shooting great with it. It's nice to have a lead bowler set a strong tone for the other team. We follow that up with me, then the wife nothing to write home about and last Chopper with the high score anchor spot :) I can't wait for his ball to get in. I won a Roto Grip TD that he gets so now I have won a ball for all my teammates and nothing for my self ha ha ha ;)

Went for some practice this morning at a different center than Friday. This one is typically a little "wetter" on the lanes. The ball did well and I think will be a good first game to mid 2nd game ball in this house.

Posting up a picture of the ball drilled up so anyone that's curious can see the layout. Don't ask about pin to pap, val angles etc. as I have no idea what those are or if I even want to know, I leave all that stuff up to my ball driller. Can't get too technical with this stuff as I still want to have fun while bowling. :)

Will be posting up a video of the ball in action later this evening as well.

Here is a short video of the Disturbed in action. Just a few strikes and lastly what happens when you miss your mark and drop your speed. :)
Targeting 15-17 board with break point of about 8-10. Lanes today had some over/under reaction to them and had to play them pretty tight. The shots today aren't representative of what it would do on a fresh shot.

That looks like a good rolling and good carrying ball
to me maybe I'll have to get myself one of them.

Yeah, the more I am using it, the more I am liking it. Used it for the first full game last night during league. Had a good line with my First Blood on game 2(we wont speak of game 1) and then made a move left with the Disturbed using same line and made some good shots. Nice heavy oil ball.
