    Wednesday League

    My Team:
    - same except the guy usually using the Guru recently acquired a Hyper Cell Skid

    Other Team:
    - Columbia300 Pure Physics
    - Storm Lucid/Storm IQ Tour Nano
    - Hammer VIRAL
    - Columbia300 Scout Reactive (old one)
    - Columbia300 Arch Rival?? (I couldn't tell, but I think it was C300 and it was that odd color like the arch rival)

    The guy using the Hammer VIRAL almost shot a 300-game with one of the most half-*** deliverys ever. And my teammate kinda struggled using the Hyper Cell Skid because it was just too much ball for his ball speed (shy of 10mph). At one point (older guy) he said, "This ball just skids...and then abruptly snaps." I responded, "It is called a Hyper Cell SKID...you realize that right?" So he was trying to increasse his speed or move outside or move his target around...ALL to get this ball to work for him. He needs to talk to RobM....about adapting to what the lane gives you rather than try to force a ball to work that clearly isn't. You can't throw a Hyper Cell Skid 10mph outside of 15 and then be repeatedly surprised that it dives through the middle.
    In Bag: (: .) Motiv Trident Odyssey; (: .) Hammer Scorpion Sting; (: .) Brunswick Endeavor; (: .) Radical Outer Limits Pearl; (: .) Ebonite Maxim

    Do you guys just know what ball other people are using or do you ask them?

    Because there are a lot of balls out there and to know each one intimately just by look is pretty amazing

    I usually notice the name on the rack. I know what my team's throwing so it's just the other ones on there. I often miss one or it's too worn to tell what it is, especially for older balls I'm not too familiar with what they are/were. Newer ones that you see a lot of are pretty distinctive and easy to tell though

    I usually just look over the course of the series. I make a game of it trying to figure out all 5 opposing team balls before the 3-game series ends. I've only asked a couple times. Most of the time you'll eventually get a good enough look at the balls on the rack that you'll be able to read the name. And if you can read the name/brand...you can always google it and get information on it.

    I do it the simplest way.

    I just wait for everyone to put their balls on the rack, walk up there and read the names on the balls and write them down.

    Most all balls have the names on them.
