    Default My new vivid, norman duke style release

    I almost forgot to mention that when I did played far right and down the outside the ball worked real nice!! I had a problem throwing across the middle and back... ( I am told because not enough oil) I think I am going to like it now, just need to work on releasing it down the outside and standing right instead of left of center like when I throw the Undefeated. Its going to be another weapon to my arsenal!!! I will master it, I have too,, I am in love with its smell!!! God help me. ITs a great ball, I just needed time to figure out how to unleash its power of destruction!! I am VERY happy with it!! Just like a wonderful relationship like I have with my wife, ((it takes time, and adjustment))!! And in the END,,,, Bliss, Vivid memories of games won, 300 game, and 700 series!!!

    After today, bowling with Jason, (two hour practice bowling), I just can't get it to do what it should!! Jason, bowled a couple times with it and came to the same conclusion!!
    Someting not right about the ball. With heavy oil, ((and jason agreed)) very little break! When alleys dried up at the end of our practice it had a little bit of kick at the end!
    The Undefeated/Mission ball worked like a champ. Even Jason threw a string of strikes with it. The ball is not very consistant!! Jason noticed that also....!!! (

    Even Norm Duke would throw his hands up in the AIR over this ball? Could it be bad cover stock on a batch of balls...!!

    Could be but very rare. After seeing the picture of Mike's layout I think it was just drilled wrong. Tough to say when I haven't seen him bowl or know his PAP but it just didn't look right.

    Did Trent say why he chose to leave it without a balance hole?

    Trent said it didn't need a balance hole, but it needs something, Jason throws a beautiful ball, and his vivid works GREAT... Mine,,, dosen't work for him either!! I want it to work and I am hoping we figure it out. The weight is fine, feels good leaving my hand, same speed, maybe a little more rev's but close! Its a Puzzle!! And expensive puzzle!
