Mine lasted longer than that, maybe got 100-ish out of it.

“Snakes on a Lane” - coming VERY soon….

They’re coming, buddy. I’ve just had some pretty serious injuries one after another. But I’m pretty close and my game is nearly back in shape to be able to do Justice to the ball I’m reviewing! What ball would you like to see reviewed most?

@@thefreeagentbowler4383 a Motiv ball would be great. Your choice!

Indeed it does, early and strong. Just too much ball for me to use on house. It’s a purely tournament ball for me!

Injury bug bit me hard, and I’ve had multiple that I’m still getting back from. I promise more are coming, I just have to get my “wheels” right! Hang with me, brother. They’re coming!

Yes sir.

Well, not really. Just been derailed by the injury bug for the last year. New stuff is coming as soon as my game is back in shape!

I’m trying, man!! Been injured for the better part of the last year, and when I thought I’d be able to get back I was derailed again by the injury bug. That said, I’m getting my game back on point and hope to be returning sooner than later!!

I’m around, getting my game in order after the Achilles and foot issues I’ve had over the last year or so. When I thought I could come back, in February, I ended up injured again and it derailed me a bit. I’m getting closer though! New stuff will hopefully be coming sooner than later!

Get well soon. Looking forward to your return. Take care.@@thefreeagentbowler4383

Very soon! VERY soon!

The Decree was unbelievable. For, at the time, $99 ball, that thing was fantastic. I don’t recall which ball replaced that, but I’m pretty sure it was the Venom Shock.

@@thefreeagentbowler4383 Wow. That surprises me. My shock was a whole zone weaker. Thank for the reviews!

So, this is a hard question to answer. Without seeing you bowl, it’s hard for me to say. That said, I can tell you for lower speed bowlers that this ball is ridiculously strong. So, it could expand its energy early, and be weak in the back. It’s a really good ball though. And one that a lot of folks really liked. Generally, “strong” means a lot of early read on the lane. So, you may drill this to go longer, that of course depends on how you bowl. Your pro shop guy should have some ideas for you!

@@thefreeagentbowler4383 my first few throws when first trying lane Is 10.25MPH then 12-14.65 once I know where the oil breaks down

@@johnturcsik2906 then I’d go a little longer and sharper backend.

@@thefreeagentbowler4383 thanks I got the storm omega crux drilled. Looking forward to using it. Also, what should I do about another Bowler who doesn’t show etiquette? He keeps cutting me off when I’m in motion, throwing me off and making my scores bad. I go bowling every Tuesday due to being $2.50 per game. But lately for the past three Tuesdays, he’s been bowling on the lane next to me and showing no respect towards me when I’m at the line. I told him to please wait your turn and show some respect towards other bowlers. He just told me to mind your own fucking business and I can do whatever I want. He looks to be a teenager due to the way he acts

I LOVE that ball. Honestly, such a consistent piece, I really enjoy throwing it!

No, just here. BUT, I am shooting next week because I finally feel comfortable enough to do so after some of these Achilles and ankle injuries I’ve been dealing with for several months!

I looked at the Pure Diamond a while back, and one of the Blizzard’s. But not since then. Honestly though, their stuff is requested more than about any other brand.

@@thefreeagentbowler4383 Oh my bad. The pure diamond was that white one with a modified light bulb? If people ask to review a lot of their stuff and you don't, maybe you have your reasons

@@coopergates9680 yeah, I’ve tried to reach out. And until I can confirm their stuff is on the same level as Storm, EBI, Motiv, etc.. I can justify spending too dollar for it, and in many cases more. The two I reviewed were offered for review and the blizzard was a $179 ball at the time. Honestly, one of the worst balls I’ve ever thrown. That said, I’m always willing to try something new and won’t discount it based on brand. But, may have apprehension because of experience.

@@thefreeagentbowler4383 You probably remember that black pearl bloody ocean, though...

Yeah, it was weird. Because everyone absolutely loved this ball. I just couldn’t get it to work, honestly. I tried every surface I could, and it just wasn’t a match for me. I know a couple of people that still use it and love it. Just didn’t jive with it!

Once I can get back from these nagging foot/Achilles injuries, I plan on dropping a whole bunch of them! I’m bowling, but, I’m just not quite there yet. Yes though, I have a Zen U on the way, and will start putting games on it for a review!

@@thefreeagentbowler4383 Excellent! I know you totally loved the UC3, curious what you think of Zen U.

@@thefreeagentbowler4383 Did you ever get a Zen U and compare it to the UC3? Curious what you thought.

@@nordattack hey Nord, no I never did. I just don’t use urethane a ton. That said, I have thrown the ZenU and to me it feels substantially stronger than the UC3. It’s kind of like the old badger 70/30, which was a ridiculous ball. Definitely stronger backend, and cleaner than the UC3.

I will! I’m just trying to get through some foot injuries! They’re coming though!

Yes sir, I’m still around. I’ve been dealing with some ankle and foot injuries since this summer. Sounds like I’m going back under the knife soon. But then I can get back!

Same man. Glad you made it through that as well!!

@@thefreeagentbowler4383 It was rough, but supposedly the same immunity to it now compared to being vaccinated. Stay healthy!

Too damned many.

Yeah, on the mend from a pretty serious foot injury. I’ve got some stuff in the works though!!
