Anybody throw these?

This is the reason why im leaning towards it, because its a hybrid so itd be very vesitile and controllable. If i ever wanted to bowl on a sport i could just knock the polish off and itd prob be awesome.Thanks for your review vdub

Anytime. If you want to see any real world videos let me know. I know many of the videos you probably saw we're ball companies. I hha be a couple up on youtube I shot awhile back.

one of your vids actually came up in my searches. Id love to see more though

its pretty funny how they always find some cranker or two hander to showcase balls. Even bowling ball has done this a few times

Here's another I uploaded yesterday. Just took some other random shots I had from some practice sessions over the summer and put them together. See if you can spot the surprise pocket 7-10 split.

Looked good! Have you played with the surface at all?

No, have not done a thing to surface. It is due for a good clean and polish back to out of box though. I was thinking of taking to a dull before I won the Deranged from here, but with that ball being dull, no need to do that. Will be a good compliment for when I go to Nationals next year.

Guys in one of my league are big into Motiv and LOVE that primal rage

I think Hammer First Blood is the most popular ball I've seen at the lanes. Bunny uses it on Thursdays, and I saw 2 other people using it as well. Then on Friday I saw two more people using it. Seems pretty popular.

I was strongly considering getting a Motive Raptor Attack because I found one for super, super cheap. But then I found a 900 Global Bullet Train for even cheaper...and then found a Columbia 300 Encounter for even CHEAPER....so I finally got the Encounter. Now I have 3 undrilled balls in my closet...dammit. But when you find a ball that is literally $100 off the sale price...which is already $70 cheaper than the original price...I mean, I couldn't pass that up.

The only downside is I could only get it in 16lb...would have preferred 15lb.

16 is usually cheaper cuz its less desirable than a 15. Im actually thinking about selling my equipment to move up to 16 lol

I've been experiementing with weights. I actually bought a 16lb Hammer Rhythm and a 16lb Brunswick Slongshot (Slingshot...but too funny to erase)...which is the weight I wanted. But on the Encounter I was thinking of staying with 15lb...but it wasn't an option. No big deal...like I said, I can throw 14lb, 15lb, 16lb...it's just making a slight adjustment in the approach for the weight. The only reason I bought it was the $170 savings.
