Always giving great advice 💪

Excellent demonstration.

I was a little cautious getting a Zen drilled already having a P3. Zen likes to get down lane than rev up and snap, being a symmetrical pearl. P3 is hybrid and picks up earlier and rolls. It was a good choice getting that Zen. I have an Axiom as my symmetrical benchmark ball and a Hy-Road Max for when the fronts dry up but I still want something strong and smooth.

OMG I want to live there, that looks like incredible technology

Would've like to of seen the shots on the HPLs vs Anvilane

So, if any given color in a pour could be either solid or pearl, if you get a hybrid where most of the surface happens to cure with either the solid or pearl on the very edge of the outer cover, does that mean you could get drastically different reactions between bowling balls of the same model if one or the other surface type is uncommonly dominant in the pour??

I would luv to bowl in that house on those lanes

[@chriskelly509]

I've sanded pearls and polished solids, just depends on what conditions/house I'll be playing on. I mostly buy pearls and adjust the surface as needed.

What type of technology is that on the lanes when you shut the lights off?

[@aaronbowwwls]

It's called "Clutch Bowling". It integrates with Kegel's Specto tracking system for ball motion tracking.

[@gabegenord4834]

Off topic. Why do you have 2 different style bowling lanes?

[@billhudson2196]

Where can I find a grit estimator

[@Ctdbowling]

Jayhawk Bowling sells it

[@user-zu5sb1hz9u]

CEO.... wow

[@nunads]

I've had this question for you guys: is a pearl coverstock ball sanded down to 2000 grit still considered a pearl? And a solid polished to 5000 grit basically same as a pearl surface-wise?

[@Ctdbowling]

Pearl is an additive and has nothing to do with the finish of the ball.
