I am thinking about drilling one of these up for the Fresh at Nationals, maybe something like 55x4.5x45. For anyone who has been there, have you seen a lot of these being used on the fresh? Did you throw a Taboo with any success? Any info will be helpful. thx guys

i used mine for team, as well as d/s. layout is 50* x 5" x 40*, 2k surface. was able to go down the boards in team and it rolled well. i didn't have to move the first 2 games. problem for me was when i had to move, it was a little spotty and i had to make a big move. after a few frames of different reaction, i switched to my midnight vibe(50* x 4" x 40*,oob) and was able to get back to the pocket.

 

for minors, i went back and forth between taboo & vibe. had i made a couple better moves in game 1 for doubles, the score would of been better. for singles in the 3rd game, i had 2 shots really come off my hand great and the end result was not as hoped for. over all though, both of the balls rolled great for me. good luck!

I have to agree with the Hammer Booth guys. I used one of my TABOOs drilled pin up, CG static, MB in the 5 oclock position for a smooth controllable line. The shot was on the NATIONALS pattern but with AMF surface. We bowled 5 games qualifing and top 8 to matchplay. I never had to move left of 20 at the arrows. The surface was at 4000. I started out playing around 7-8 and just chased it in. During matchplay the three matches that I had all of my competitors were throwing storm balls and didnt have as good as recation as I did. Two of the players are PBA title holders with one of them being exempt on the Tour and the other a  very good Local player. Good luck.
