    Have to agree with Rob here. I was working with my wife who is adjusting to throwing at her spares with her new plastic ball I bought her for our anniversary I watched her miss what must have been 6 or 7 right side spares in a row so I asked her what she was thinking about. She told me "trying to hit my mark, start the ball on time, keep it nice and easy, don't miss and a few other things". I told her to just stop went over and lined her up pointing at the pin told her not to think just throw the d*** ball at the pin and that she was going to make it. I think I've seen her miss once in about 5 games since then. Sometimes you just have to go throw the d*** ball.

    I don't know I'm pretty happy with my arsenal at the moment. May like to replace the Asylum with a Hysteria at some point. I want to see what the new stuff from storm/roto looks like on Thursday

    Not looking to add anything right now, especially since I bought a Marvel pearl after it was discontinued(used) even though I know its so similar to the Optimus and I'm trying to figure out ways I can play with surface to use both since I like them so much. (I actually like the Marvel Pearl slightly more)

    But I'll say this, my most recent ball was a Thug Unruly and its a hell of a ball. When its matched up with the lanes it hits like its 20 lbs, not 15.

    Going back and forth on deciding whether to pick up a Rocket, as I don't have a hybrid (solid, polished solid, pearl are my current balls. Varying RG/Diffs). However I feel the 3 I have match up very well with each other and various lane conditions... so eh.

    FWIW, I'm very happy with the Rocket.

    The thing has one of the most consistent reactions I've seen across all lane conditions, and a pretty nice angular motion at the end.

    Is that different than the Burgundy Hammer?
