NO need to do that, put Iceman's name,,,, ,,, or Ice on your ball! LOL! I have a lot more respect for Super Man! We go way back, and he is one heck of a guy! You might put SUPER, short for my buddy Clark Kent!

Did I say he has a Dead Aim also???

I will have this ball by April Fools Day at the latest.
I just watched the laneside review of this ball dang me likey.
My problem is who do I get to drill it.
The guy I have been using lately is about to take off to work a booth in Reno for nationals. He is leaving someone behind but this kid is pretty green and I dont want to let him drill it.

Me too. Damn it!!


There goes the worm farm money!!

Good question! I just know that some of my VERY best games and series, have been with a more standard drilling lay out. I don't have any weakness in my wrist at all, and the weight of the ball feels very comfortable even my 16lbers... but then I do wrist curls at the gym in 3 different directions, to build up the forearm.

I NOW think that the Tri-Grip is a great tool and method to be used by people maybe that struggle with hand, wrist issues. Ball feeling to heavy, or have pain in their wrists ect. I still like the LOOK it gives my bowling balls, but then in some ways I like the standard drilling look too!

I am a finely tuned bowing machine at my age! I have about 1/3 of my balls drilled that way, and will not change them. They have their place, and I enjoy throwing them. ((( I KNOW COACHES are going crazy reading this, but remember, I am ICEMAN)))!! LOL That saying: "Don't do as I do, but do as your Coaches say!" (

I love to experiment,,, isn't that what adds spice to life!!!!

Interesting. I was just wondering. I kind of want to try the tri-grip but talking to my pro shop guy (yes aslan please tell me I rely on him WAY TOO MUCH) he says not required for the way I throw the ball. He said it is similar to the sarge grip they came out with 10-15 years ago and he definitely said it relates to wrist / hand issues. My team mate on Saturdays should try the tri-grip because he definitely drops the ball everytime he throws it. Last time we bowled I told him what I observed. I said if you can hold onto the ball just 1-2 more seconds or like 6"-12" it would make a big difference - and it did. A tri-grip might even make more difference for him.

Biker Larry, one of my teammates, that has had his ball since it came out, WAXED ICEMANS ASK!! His last game was a 290!!! YES ALMOST A 300!! His average which was good before he got this ball, is now EVEN higher!!!

Who knows were it will end UP!! It's fun watching!

Someone ask about it holding up. He bowls several leagues at different lanes, and has over 100 games on his DEADLY AIM, and it seems to just get BETTER.

SHOULD THIS BALL BE MADE ILLEGAL!!! SUCH A HUGE advantage when in the hand of a skilled technician!!!

Muddpuppy you ask about the which way to go with the drilling? I can't answer that, But I don't see any down side to the Tri-Grip! I have listed many of the Pro's, and really can't think of any con's.

I believe that everyone should give it a try! Plug an old ball and have it drilled to try it out! Many around here, swear by it. As I have mentioned go to Face Book BP's Pro Shop and read about what Real People have said.

I know many that changed have thrown 300 games, James my driller threw another one Wednesday night, and had a 798 series with the Tri-Grip..... The ball he happened to be using was the New Roto Grip, Hyper-Cell

James does not have a weak anything, and he prefers the Tri-Grip! He has had 2 300's since January of this year.

Getting back to the subject of DEADLY AIM, ball, I was just a few pins over average, but I did do something I now regret..... I wore a pair of bowling shoes, instead of wearing my sandals!!!

My FRICKEN FEET bugged me all night, (Pain of being entombed) with out air, and pressure from the leather pushing inward on my helpless feet in need of open pure AIR! I purchased a very nice pair of those Dester SST8's, and its clear to ICEMAN that as comfortable as they are, it a NO GO Houston! ( I think I mentioned before that have fallen arches, and other structural defects in my feet that give me a form of neuropathy in my feet. Its getting better each year do to some changes in my lifestyle, and exercise, but not there yet.

I will post a picture of what I bowl in, and the vary SANDAL THAT gave me my last 2 300 games, in comfort!
as soon as I covert the file!




The team we bowled yesterday was ON FIRE,,,, I MEAN ON FIRE,,, with some of their bowlers on the low end of averages bowing WAY OVER THEIR AVERAGES..... We still should have beat them, and will next time we meet.
We won 2, and lost total pins by 24 I believe. So we are now still in First Place, with a two game lead. The team behind us won all four.

My wife was way under her average, but in her defense, she JUST STARTED TAKING lessons, and her coach said to keep her hand behind the ball and not to bring her wrist around the side! He wanted her to get in the habit of STARTING her delivery with her palm behind the ball. (He said something to the effect of "let the ball do the work".

I had NO IDEA, nor did any of our teammates that she was holding her bowling hand sideways, from beginning to end of delivery. SHE WAS Struggling last night, and very upset, but once she gets USE TO THE PROPER technique of delivery, her Coach,( that is a Gold Level Coach), said that her average will jump up to the goal she wants by the end of this season. I agree, she has a lot strength, balance and ability, and just needs to learn the proper way to deliver the ball.

Remember this bowling Friends, a team is only as strong as its weakest link,,,, Joyce will be coming back soon with her new delivery system... and when she does..... Katie Bar The Door!!! With her completely WRONG STYLE of holding the ball with her thumb pointing toward her body, she was able to bowl some great 200 plus games, one not long ago a 240,,, something! She is a bowing Warrior, that will be one of our STRONG LINKS soon!

He said it is similar to the sarge grip they came out with 10-15 years ago and he definitely said it relates to wrist / hand issues.

The Tri-Grip fitting is not even remotely like a Sarge Easter Grip!

The Sarge Easter grip uses a finger tip grip for the middle finger and a conventional grip for the ring finger.

see info here: http://www.brunsnick.com/sarge_easter_grip.html

Bill Hall's Tri-Grip fitting system is a fitting technique where they are trying to base the fit more on the anatomy of the hand so it sets in the hand better and comes off better. Like they try to do with the CLT (Center line Transfer) etc.

(CLT instructions here: http://wiki.bowlingchat.net/wiki/ima...STRUCTIONS.pdf



It would be closer to Carl Hoffmire's Max Y Grip system is trying to do, See link here: http://www.gripcheck.net/Max-y-grip_...Info_sheet.pdf

The Max-y-Grip drilling procedure allows your hand to be anatomically correct on your bowling ball. The procedure DECOMPRESSES the carpal tunnel region of the hand. This virtually eliminates stress on the tendons. This is why a hand swells up when you throw a bowling ball.

A caveat with the max-y: there are those that think that it over stretches the spans, it also uses a lot of reverse pitch and it increases grip pressure.

If your pro shop guy is referring to the Sarge Easter grip, the Tri-Grip is nothing like that.

Sarge Easter has a short (conventional) span for the ring finger compared to standard fingertip,
while the Tri-Grip retains the span of the standard fingertip, but modifies the pitch angles.

WHICH PAIR would YOU RATHER WEAR!
The Deadly Aim, and Iceman shoes, a truly Deadly Combination!

I wouldn't be able to bowl in anything that doesn't slide, especially after the work I've put in lately increasing the power of my pivot step (which has increased the length of my slide). When I first started out last September, I planted for about two weeks until I realized I would be having knee surgery sooner rather than later if I didn't learn how to slide (numerous football and wrestling injuries when I was younger).

I still see this one guy in my league who is rather heavyset, he charges to the foul line, plants his foot and does some kind of half body jerking motion on release, and while he's a decent average bowler (180s I think), I can't help but wonder how much damage he's doing to his knee.
