I received some paperwork on it from Ebonite, but off the top of my head, I don't remember a price point, nor a release date.Originally Posted by vdubtx
It's different from a Viz-A-Ball in that the image is on the core, and then a clear poly coverstock is added so the image won't scratch.
As for hands on, the only one I've seen is the Red Angry Bird ball by Ebonite. Same clear coverstock.
Price for an Angry Bird was comparable to a Viz-A-Ball.
That ball is h.o.t.!
Last time I looked, I think that Hammer ball is quite a bit more expensive than a standard plastic spare ball.
If I was going to spend extra money on a spare ball less aggressive than my Slingshot…I'd probably look at a Track 300A or Motiv Ascent Apex. Or maybe go with the Storm Mix. Or I'd just give in completely and get the Motiv Arctic Sniper. The 300A and Apex would actually hook MORE than the Slingshot…but the Mix and polyester Arctic Sniper would make a nice straight spare ball.
Just not sure why anyone would pay for that new Hammer or the Arctic Sniper…about 3-6 times what a polyester Columbia WD costs….or 2-4 times what a 300A or Storm Mix costs.
That ball is a about $100 I don't get it either. I like the taboo spare and at least it has a full core so it would make a good strike ball if you ever ran into really dry conditions but still not worth paying for
Much like pro football team balls, they aren't purchased because of the efficient pricing, but because the image has a psychological effect n the purchaser.
10-pins are dumb
I went 9 for 14 last night in practice.Lol, last night I went 8 for 8 in 10 pin spares, first night I've ever picked it up 100%. Sure wish I knew what I did differently last night
For May it's been:
6/2 - 9/14 (64%)
5/29 - 1/2 (50%)
5/27 - 7/11 (64%)
5/25 - 2/2 (100%)
5/22 - 2/3 (67%)
5/15 - 2/3 (67%)
5/12 - 5/5 (100%)
5/8 - 0/1 (0%)
5/5 - 3/4 (75%)
5/4 - 2/5 (40%)
5/1 - 0/2 (0%)
Definitely getting better. I think I was around 50% before changing my game in the end of March. Now I'm closer to the 65% mark. But there IS something about the 10-pin compared to all other single pin leaves. I used to be closer to 70% with those and now I rarely miss and single pin other than the 10-pin. For example, in my current league, over a 24-game span...I've missed the 10-pin 9 times (out of 14) and I've missed ALL other single pins a total of 5 times (out of 39).
All other single pins...I approach it thinking, "Okay, I got this." But the 10-pin, no matter how I try to calm myself down, I seem to think, "Okay, I got a 50/50 shot at this." The accuracy with all other spares is 87%...so it's not "accuracy"....I think it's the mental side of the game.

Smokey this is not 'Nam', this is bowling. There are rules. Proud two-time winner of a bowlingboards.com weekly ball give-away!
After I **finally** decide on a strike ball, I think I'm just gonna get a White Dot for a spare ball and be done with it. Or a Maxim.
sling shot for 10 pin! Palm UP!
Well, this afternoon on ten pins, I was 4 of 5! Went back to the weak sling shot, and threw it palm up release! I think I am going to stick with that, in the past I had some good results throwing THAT ball THAT way. Palm up takes the lateral spin away from the ball, and it goes where I throw it!
AS LONG as I stand far let, and shoot middle arrow palm UP, it get that puppy! FOCUS and keeping my speed down helps with the accuracy!
IT was a good day in regards to 10 pins, and now I have made up my mind in regards to Ball, and release. Will start keeping track to see if this combination keeps working! 10 pins can KILL A BOWLING AVERAGE!
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
Don't feel bad Ice. Even WRW misses a 10-pin....well, once every 100 times or so.
