Thank you for posting this. I was very curious, since I too won this ball awhile back but have yet to get it punched up. Looks clean through the front and a lot of back end. I like what I see.
Quick first look at the PYRAMID CURSE
Okay, I got the Curse punched today and picked it up just before league. This just a quick look, I only have right lane shots of the 1st and 2nd games. it just a fast edit so it goes by quick.
We increased the forward pitch on my thumb pitch to a 1/8th forward and went down to a 61/64th thumb insert to tighten the hole. To see if it helped me hang on to the ball better, which it did very well.
I only rolled the ball twice in warmup, once on each lane and crushed the pocket for a strike.
As you can see I didn't burn up the lanes, but with the exception of 6 frames (my fault, my form was really bad tonight) it was either strikes or 9 counts.
I was playing it about 12 to 3rd arrow (a couple around 2nd arrow) through the night. As long as the ball was right of the headpin it was coming back. The ball looked pretty smooth, got down the lane and was strong off the spot.
I should do better next week, now I got the grip tweaked better.

I'll try and get some more video next tuesday on league, we start on the right lanes again (Which helps because of where we sit, I can set up my camera and it not be in the way.)Originally Posted by bubba809
Considering my form was way off and I don't put a lot of revs on the ball, it did have a lot backend. That one shot where I through my hands up, I said OH S... because I thought it was headed for the channel, but it turned up and headed for barn and got a strike.

That made me lol. I'd never heard headed for barn before. I've been there before, thinking no way that will make it back and be pleasantly surprised.
Ball looks great!
