Now that Aslan Won A BALL,,, whats left???

[Mudpuppy]

Of course I will be doing the demo as they are my bowling balls and will be drilled to fit my game (or lack there of) and my specifications. So, you may see less of a difference in eventiual outcome than a higher rev bowler would. Rob said the same thing concerning symmetric vs. assymetric cores. He didn't see a difference at all throwing his way, his style...but felt that a higher rev or thumbless bowler may have seen a much different result.

IF it happens and goes well...but a marked difference isn't noticed...I could always do a follow-up video where I have Mike throw them...being a much higher rev bowler...and see if a difference is noticeable.

It's an interesting project because on the one hand...we'll try to push the envelope using drilling layouts and surfaces to make them very different...maybe more different than a person usually would. On the other hand, as with all drilling projects, ultimately I will need to use them effectively at some point so the end result will need to lend itself a bit to my game (or lack there of). I liken it to the pros that will have two of the same ball, one pin up and one pin down. We may not see much of a difference if we drill a ball pin up and another pin down...but a pro on tougher lanes with higher revs will. Because my revs are so low...Mike may need to do a little "more" to get them to behave differently than a guy with high revs. Thats my preliminary thinking anyways. It's sort of an "experiment" so I'm not sure how it'll turn out.


I said "I have a tournament that I am director of"....I didn't say it's MY tournament.

Like when you're at work and your manager asks you about a rush drive-thru order and you say, "I have McNuggets in the fryer". That doesn't make them YOUR McNuggets.

I'm trying to relate to VDub's world.

You do know that now he's won a ball, there'll be no living with him?

I am not sure your right rv driver,,,, I am a telepathic,,,, I get the feeling he is LOST in his own space, having that feeling of,,,, I did it,,, is this all there is,,,, another ball in my closet? I have this FEAR that he will go into the closet with all his balls and close the door behind himself, never to be seen again! Just a Man and his BAlls!!

Maybe I'm projecting. I know if I won a ball, there'd be no living with me...

Let's try it! Hey, guys! Let me win the ball this month!

The good news is; they give away one every week!
The bad news is; rv driver gets tunnel carpel syndrom first !

I dunno... I got the repetitive wrist motion well-practiced... :-P

[Mike White]

I SURE DON'T WANT TO MISS THE INSTRUCTIONAL VEDIO YOU AND MIKE ARE MAKING!! Let's see, who will be the pupil, and who will be the student? LOL

chapter ONE:
How to handle strange lanes, with poor conditions and still break 100, while bowling a tornament!

chapter TWO: The right ball for the right lane, can sometimes be just as simple as flipping a coin

chapter THREE
How to come up with great excuses for getting beat using the wrong adjustments, and improper ball selection!


just kidding.... LOL.... I just think its great that the two of you will be collaborating on this epic endeavor!!! With all your knowledge put together, I am sure it will fly off the shelf's as fast they can print it!

I for one love a GREAT READ!!! Good luck guys,,,,, ice

Epic endeavor????

Aslan spoke for about 30 seconds on the subject of making a video.
All during that time, my eyes were rolling.

How can you show the differences between two balls, when it's difficult to throw one ball the same way twice?

Lol.....I was thinking the same thing when I read that

I mean, I appreciate the initiative to try and do something like that to help others and try and find out more about how balls work, but....


There's a reason the USBC made a robot for that kind of stuff , AND they have access to people who have 100x more experience and consistency than Aslan.

[Mudpuppy]

Maybe the video should be how to take a great bowler and put them in a bad house with bad conditions that barely pass USBC standards and how someone who can't throw one ball the same way twice beats them in consecutive matches - now that would be a great video. Maybe you could bowl at the earthquake museum in Anchorage to make it a little more interesting - pot holes & debris on the lanes and the whole time the whole lane is shaking with the 3.1 magnitude quake. Maybe a guest appearance by the bowler who spray cans all over the lanes but still manages to defeat the great one - the wayne gretzky of bowling.

[Mudpuppy]

or better yet an instructional video on how to make excuses when you lose. now that would be epic and would be valuable information not only in bowling but in life in general.
