Good looking and good smelling ball

[eugene02]

never smelled one before! seen so far 2 being thrown in my bowling alley..

[martin]

don't they have it in the proshop? it smells real good.. :D

[eugene02]

don't they have it in the proshop? it smells real good.. :D

they do have it.. just that it isn't drilled.. so can't smell much..

[martin]

even those that are not drilled have the smell.. like in here, i can even smell the caramel smell of the Crossroad even outside the proshop (with the door shut).. not too sure though if the Vivid has such a heavy smell.. 'coz all i can smell is the Crossroad..

nope.. maybe it's my nose that has the problem.. hahahah.. shall smell it soon!!

[martin]

haha.. go smell it then.. :D

[eugene02]

haha.. go smell it then.. :D

tried today.. it smells not really awesome to me.. just so so.. hahaha maybe my nose has some problems... =P

[MICHAEL]

Believe me billf, I like the ball,, it smells great,,, (LIKE my WIFE)! I can see it now,,,, The three of us in bed,,,, her on my right side, and the Vivid on my Left!!! What a BALL!!(:) lol...

[MICHAEL]

We came to the conclusion that it was a odd cover stock issue! 99.9 percet of the vivids, I would imagine do not have issues at all! I know Jason makes that ball look GOOD!!

[MICHAEL]

Good luck to everyone.

Hey Michael, maybe if you win this ball then you could tell if it's the coverstock on yours causing your issues.

I would respectfully decline and give it to someone that would put it to use! I already have one, and hope to get the Vivid worked out TODAY! (:)... I have a good feeling that its just the drilling! As I have said, jason, kicks butt with that ball... (except on Friday when the chips are down for zillions of $$$)... (:)...

[MICHAEL]

When I say Jason kicks butt with the Vivid, I mean HIS Vivid, not mine! Best he could with mine was a 171. Man can he roll his!!!! (except when it comes to , well you all know the rest of that story)! (:) old men rule!!!!

I'll finish the story -- except when it comes to league, then he really turns it on. So if you're in a league with him, you better look out. (looking at you Mike) ;)

[MICHAEL]

Please put me in for the Vivid,,, it would be interesting to see if it was the cover stock!!!! I tried everyting,,, ! The new Storm Virtual gravity woked great tonight first game out of the box, no practice,, 235!! Had a number of 10 piner's tonight, its just a matter of adjusting, They were what looked like beautiful shoots exploding in the pocket, and after the smoke cleared, their the 10 pin was! Most of the shots I didn't get a strike on were 10 pins tonight. I did get all but two, so I am very pleased with how this ball shoots into the pocket. Again this was on Fresh oil, same as when I bowled with the Vivid, but nothing. I am sure it was a defective ball. Trent (alley pro NKC AMF), DID ONE HELL OF A JOB ON THIS Ball!!

[eugene02]

Is it possible for people staying outside the condiments of US to win the balls from this forum?

[martin]

IF I win the $1000.00 pot on my summer league, I will, ((I promise!!)) buy both of you a ball of your choice, as long as its not over $500.00 for both balls. You have my word on that!!! And with my word you can take it to the bank,,, I have a 825 credit history!!! So both of you start dreaming of what ball, I can give you, and PRAY A lot!! (for me to win this 14 week league, with lots of Top Gun bowlers) With prayer NOTHING is impossible!! I need yours!!! Send all prayers to P.O. Box, heaven (:)
The $500.00 I would spend on both your balls, would also have to include shipping! In other words, two balls, and shipping under 500.00. You two get togerther and start thinking about what combination would work for the both of you.... and wish me luck!!!!
I in no way, shape or form represent the management of this or any other bowling board, so all statements made by me are to be taken into consideration when come to a conclusion in regards to their truisms, or veracities! But in regards to said statement in effect to two free balls, you have my word! But first I have to win! Vegas has the odds at 7 to 1 that I will fail! But I like those odds~~~ Did I say there are 7 teams at this point in time, but we might have another team next week, where as odds will change!

kinda impossible for 2 balls to be around $500 USD.. for SG already $200++ SGD for a HRR + shipping

thanks anyway :)

[MICHAEL]

thanks anyway :) OK,,,, here is what we have to do!! After I win the Top Gun league with my wife that bowls a 140 average, (((but is very capable of on any given night a 200 game))), secrect weapon.......(:),,,, You two will have to get togerther and guess what number between 1 and 10 I am thinking!
The one that comes the closest will be the winner!! And your right, that way it can be your dream ball, will all the bells and whistles!!! Plus free shipping!!!
(how much is shipping??) check it out for me if you would,,, because my limit is $500.00. I do want half the winning to buy my beautiful wife cool gift!!
Pray for me, both of you... and ONE OF YOU WILL GET YOUR Ball!! I guaranty it!!

counting for martin. if it's a HRR 15lb, it'll be USD $263.95
for me if it's a HRR 15lb, it'll be USD $233.95

oh if you add both up together it'll be $497.90

hope you win Michael! not for the balls for yourself!! :D

[MICHAEL]

Well you have two chances now~~ Win here on bowlingboard. com, and If I win with my wife,,, I will keep you posted on how its going!! You have my WORD that if I win the $1000.00 I will pick one of you to get the ball of your dreams, ( as long as its all under 500.00). I might find a much better deal then the numbers you came up with, and depending on shipping I might be able to make both your dreams come to be.
Just remembe: I am in a TOP GUN league, I am a newbe!! Its a long shot, but then who knows!! I do know If I was bowling with Jason!!!! the odds then would be closer to 50/50 Get back to me on what you think shipping would cost form Kansas City Mo, to both your locations. And then, don't hold your breath!!! And pray a lot!! It will take a miracle!!!

well thanks for the goodwill.. but wouldn't that be too troublesome for you?
good luck for the league.. for you and your wife.. :) i guess if you do win and really willing to help, maybe just send the money over.. lol.. i can buy in my proshop and can save up on the shipping.. then we can be under the budget.. :D

i guess money is better because for bowling ball you won't know what pin placement and top weight their gonna give you if you order online uh?

[eugene02]

but if Michael is willing to pay for any form i'll gladly take any form of gifts that is being given.. not everyday are people as good!

[Florida Bowler]

Michael, how about a $250 gift certificate for Eugene and Martin? That way they can whatever they want. If it is more than $250, they can come up with the extra money.

That is a very generous offer. I wish you luck this season both for you and for them.

I know the Nano is working great!!
