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.

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.

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!!

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.

There's a lot of balls out there now a days that are too much for THS' lol I can't find one weak enough thinking about a scout for my fresh THS at my house

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.

This is what I was waiting to hear. I guess my Xmas wish list is gonna have another ball added.

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.
