Ok, getting a new ball Friday at 5:30 pm... I have a question... QUESTION!

[MICHAEL]

This is one remarkable ball, drilled by a pro that knows his STUFF!! Fist thing he did, ( Bruce, X pro bowler, and then driller for the pro’s,,, and mean BIG NAME PRO’s, and he gave me a list of them with proof that he did indeed drill for , Jim Woodlots, Jack Jockless, Ralph Riggins, William Hook, and Mary tweeter, Wilma Pimplelick just to name a few,,, Did I mention Norman Duke!!! Yes he drilled for the Duke also!!

Anyway he took me to lane 13,,,, which I thought might not be a great number due to the fact that 6 and 7 make 13!!! But he had me throw the ball and he had a piece of tape I inch by 1/1000! It was a circular piece of tape! It would have me throw the ball then move it to another location until it looked to stay in one spot on the ball! He then used that information to drill the ball for my style of bowling!

I must say he did one hell of a job!! That Lucid can do it all!! It is a very aggressive, not at all like the Vivid that never did work for me!! Was it drilling//// cover//// whatever it was like a plastic ball! This ball is very interesting,,, sure it need oil, but it gave me many different angle to get the ball into the pocket, unlike any other ball I have including the terror, or marauder! I was standing on the last dot left, and throwing between the second and third arrow on medium oil, and it read the lanes like it had a gps for a core!!

I was able to pick the 10 pin up twice!!! (2 out of 2)! It only left it 2 times out of several throws! I was on practice time son did not take the time to turn the score on! Only had an hour before free practice was over!

I can’t wait to try it on fresh oil Sunday! I am very,,, VERY impressed with its movement, and more importantly its SMELL!!! My God,,,, Watching it rev down the lane, and then that citrus vanilla smell that proceeds it coming through the ball return is almost more than a super hero can take,,,,, it makes me weak in the knee’s just holding in next to my manly chest!!

My new favorite lay out 50X4X30 P3 weight hole. Try it Mike, you'll like it.

Bill he did even better then the above, he used his skills to make that ball do its most for ME, and my type of bowling style. He is amazing, he said after watching me throw it a couple times, that I would GET that 300 with This Lucid....... I said in my dreams!! (I expect you to get it bill),,,, dreams ,,,Lucid... anyway... later!

so michael, can i get the terror off of your hands?

[MICHAEL]

so michael, can i get the terror off of your hands?

LOL,,,, no,,, angelo,,, its one of my babies now!! Would you give up one of yours??? LOL....

I must say right out of the box, after the drilling, its the best ball I have on medium oil,,,, have not had a chance to try it yet on
fresh oil, but will Sunday. Can't wait to roll that puppy!!! (when I say best out of box, I mean the Lucid)! The Terror is a fine ball, just dosen't have
the magic the Lucid has in my hand!!

This ball was drilled to your PAP. That's what the tape was about. That's the first step and one that should have been done every time you bought a ball. Glad to hear it was done right and to fit you!

[MICHAEL]

thanks Wild Bill!!! This was the FIRST time a driller has taken the time to do that! Bruce, here in Independence Mo, AMF is GOOD! Anyone that drilled for Norm Duke can't be that bad!! lol I will be using it for the first time tonight in league,,,, CAN"T WAIT!!!!! Go Chiefs, and come on 6pm!!!! lol

[MICHAEL]

Jason/The Dude informed me that I am not a power stroker,,,,, (((just a stroker!))) If I am not a power stroker, then why do those pins explode when my ball hits them!!! Answer that Mr Dude!!!! Sometimes they have to replace the pins after I finish a dozen games or so!!!! (((just a stroker,,,, right,,,, mayber a better name for my style of bowling would be (domination stroker), or (command stroker), or (mastery of stroker) or (mighty stroker) or whatever!! I am not a(( just)) anything Dude!!

[Zothen]

The pins go flying because of the energy stored up in the ball at the time of impact. I throw ball about 15-16 and have a rev rate around 250. The pins fly off the deck and I even had 1 fly up into the pin setter. My balls are 14 & 15 pounders!

Not to take anything away from Bruce but prior jobs do not dictate ability. Flip it around. If he was that good a driller he would still be doing so! Doing something for years doesn't make on good at it, just experienced. Some bowler's have been bowling for years and still aren't any good at it.
