    Default Lucid question

    I haven't bowled with my pin up ring finger lucid, I think it lost its kick a while back!

    So I sanded it with 360 on four sides, let it soak in Dawn dish soap with vinegar for 20 minutes, then dried it off.

    What next steps would your recommended for a medium fast tweeter, with medium revs, and bowling on house patters.

    Default To late.... went with this

    I decided to go from the 360, to 1000, then 4000. Light pressure on last two, and only 20 seconds four sides. Can't wait to see how it rolls Thursday!

    I would have suggested going to 1500 then polish...BTW, being the Iceman, how do you keep the subzero temperatures from cracking your bowling balls? Please advise...

    hummm I only have 180, 360, couple 500, 1000, 2000, couple 4000! Do they even make a 1500?,,, I will have to look into that.
    Remember, I do have medium to high speed, My revs have gotten much higher since I went to the Tri-Grip. Thumb gets out MUCH FASTER, and thus with my lift, more revs...

    As far as the Ice goes, I bowl with a special device that NASSA developed just for me! I might just post a picture of it here soon. Iceman has lots of connections, due in part, because I am a Super Hero! What they developed for me, fits me like a glove!

    I wonder if an automotive parts businesses sales them around here Jason?? I know I can get them on line, but would be nice to go get them tomorrow. Can't wait to try out the lucid Thursday! It needed a de-oiling!!! It gave off enough oil to heat my house for a week!! (

    Default ICEMAN got Hung 12 times in ONE FRAME!!

    It was too aggressive, even in heavy oil for my style of bowling! Stand right about 10 board, and throw second arrow one board left, or right! The soaking in hot water and resurface did bring life back into the ball. Now I need to maybe add polish to keep it from breaking so much in back end of the heads! The 4000 pad was not enough!

    The Virtual Gravity Nano was working great, that's the ball I started with, but we were all having some problems with the heavy oil, and carry! lots of 10 pins, and 7s!

    Jason said it was the heavy oil that can cause lose of carry, due to the ball deflecting even on what appeared to be great pocket hits... We were all having that problem, even our left handed bowler, biker Larry!.

    Then IN THE LAST game when we really needed a Hail MARY 10th frame,,,, Four of our teammates struck out and one spared, and striked, ICEMAN!!

    So I got hung 3X12 LOL,,,LOL,,, but we did win all 4 games.

    Joyce XXX
    Iceman /X
    Larry XXX
    Jason XXX
    We won that game ONLY BECAUSE of that near perfect 10 frame....
