Got a couple of goodies today!

[1VegasBowler]

Today I picked up a new Brunswick Edge 3 Ball Roller, 4 rolls of VISE NT 50Y (Wes Malott) Tape and the DV8 Pit Bull.

The ball was drilled at 35x3 1/2x35, and the coverstock was changed from 1000 (OOB), to 3000 with polish.

I still get excited about getting new stuff. Heck I got excited about getting my new box of inserts in lol. Also an added bonus that bowlingball.com can send out same day and I'll get it in 2 days from FL to KY.

About the pitbull, did you throw it with the oob first or change it from the word go? If so, why?

[1VegasBowler]

I haven't thrown it at all yet..lol

The Pitbull is a very strong and aggressive ball. The OOB surface (solid 1000) is way too strong for most bowlers, especially on a THS.

As Rob & Scoops pointed out on the Lane Side Reviews video, you're more than likely going to have to change the surface on it.

With that being said, my PSO changed it to 3000 with polish so that it isn't going to be so aggressive, but it's still going to be a monster, especially on heavy oil, which is what it was designed for in the first place.

So if you're going to use this on a THS, you had better make sure you keep it in the oil for as long as you can! lol

I'm looking forward to a new shoe slider....lol.. Mine is sticking... Love getting stuff in the mail

Ordered my new Storm Rolling Thunder 4-ball bag today. Sent back the K-Force 4-ball. If you advertise that it'll hold up to size 15 shoes, my 13's better go in without issue. They did not......

[1VegasBowler]

Anytime I have to get something, I have to be sure that it is compliant with the PBA rules, otherwise I can't have it in the bowlers area.

My second pair of bowling shoes are KR's and I can't use them.

Good choice Timmy. I think you'll like it.
I took the shoulder strap off mine. Just use the clips. Disconnected the strap on the back (near the handle mechanism) that holds the two bags together. I find that the strap keeps the bags together, but it's not really all that necessary. It's just one more thing to mess with when you're putting the two bags into the truck of a car or something. Great bag nonetheless...

I see. Just curious since 3000P is a long way from 1000S lol.

It sure is! lol

I used it yesterday on a modified 39ft house pattern, where it has more oil to the outside. I was bowling on the 9 Tap Tour here and it was the 3rd squad where there were already 8 games on the lanes and they were pretty burned up.

Let's remember that I'm low speed & low rev (14 & 250), and the conditions dictated that I stay with this.

During the 10 min of practice I found the ball was working great on 15-10 and even 15-5, so I stayed with it.

The ball read the entire lane darn near perfectly from front to back, and did not over read the friction and it still hit extremely hard. It was like the pins were exploding down there.

This is exactly what I was looking for in a strong pearl, and I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what this ball is going to do at the US Open Championships tomorrow and at the PBA 50 Regional I'm doing next month on the Chamelion pattern, and the 10 minutes of practice will certainly dictate if I continue with it.

That's awesome! I love it when a ball does what it is supposed to do lol.
It's all about getting the ball and surface lined up with you as I've learned from trying to make a ball work because that's what I want to throw.

Good luck at the open tomorrow!

Thank you :)

I have to give the credit to Johnny Petraglia, Jr. for this. I told him what I wanted out of this ball because it is so darn strong and he nailed it!

He is everything for me when it comes to bowling, whether it's drilling, coaching or ball advice.

I wanna get the brunswick true nirvana it looks sick.

I have conflicting reports on this ball, so I'm not going to comment. lol

I've seen a coupe in action. If your looking for an early reading pearl that picks up in the midlane and can handle some oil your going to like it. If your looking for that stand left throw right wheel the ball reaction your going to hate it.

Should be receiving a Storm Timeless this week. I've had input from Storm Tech guy Chad McLean on drills for the last 3 balls I've had, so figured I'd give him a go again. Told him I wasn't sure what I wanted to put on it since it looked long from the get go, but he said 5x4x3 is the way to go for length (I always need length out of a ball, rev rate is around 400). Should be getting it in the next couple days and take it to my guy in Utah to punch it out and bowl city tourney this weekend. I dunno why I've been on a Storm kick for the last couple of years, but their products seem to fit my game well. We will see how the Timeless fits into the arsenal.

That is not true i have a couple of staffers that throw that ball and it comes back from back. You can wheel that ball! iTS A HOUSE SHOT KILLER.

Experiences may differ. I'm only relating what I've seen and how the bowlers felt about the ball that I know have told me.

The DV8 PitBull comes back much more than the True Nirvana in the OOB condition.

You're right on both counts here.

The True Nirvana is much more of a straighter ball than the rest of the Nirvana line.
