The VIBE s
« on: July 22, 2009, 05:59:30 AM »
Hey Group

I am thinking about getting a VIBE for my arsenal. I need something that isnt over powering

Something for the 3rd game when the lanes are drying out and yet there is still some oil, I have a dry lane ball called the HORNET which is from Lanemasters but I need something with a little more pop!!

I ws thinking about the (Red) Cherry-VIBE, so whats everyones opinions on the Cherry-VIBE? btw, I am a stroker/tweener. Thanks for your input.

Jake,

I can vouch for the ONYX being squirty on carrydown...ran into that quite a bit last night while practicing...but once I moved right, holy cow did the ball just keep on going...

If you want longer in length and a lot of backend reaction..go with the Burn...comparatively against the Venom..you'll see the Venom start to react sooner in the mids while still being aggressive but have more of an arc to the pocket...in my opinion, the Burn will work better on medium conditions. Hope this helps! God Bless!

Yeah, but the way it moves off the dry is very impressive to me, especially since its a low end ball, good grief it was sweet.

One shot in particular that I rememeber so well is when the lanes started getting playable I threw it 'tween the 3rd an 4th arrow to see what she would do, well, I threw it a little to hard and it blew by the break point and was about to go in the gutter but I managed to hit it at the bottom of my swing so

as its revving up and starting to set it finally does and it actually hung over the gutter but turned at the last second and then set up and made a monster move to the pocket and destroyed the pins...I still cant believe that it didnt drop in the gutter, LOL

After getting familar with the ONYX it will be a fun ball to use. This Hammer
addiction all started when I got the CHERRY VIBE two weeks ago and loved the way it rolled .

Jake,

I'm thinking about giving a Cherry a try and just to see how it would be comparison wise to the Onyx. If I manage to get my hands on one, I'll try and post a video. I have been wanting to post some new videos but with the full time schedule working in the shop its been very hectic, especially since fall season and leagues are getting ready to start up again!

So lucky you for being able to throw the Cherry

God Bless!

Hey Mike
 I think you will really like the CHERRY VIBE but like the ONYX it does need to bump off of the dry to see its work

 Well, I tried the ONYX again last night but as usual my house had a terrible shot out but I did use it for 1 1/2 games and then the CHERRY. Both balls worked well when called upon.

 Just like normal though I threw 3 beautiful pocket 7 - 10 splits with the ONYX
on the same lane, due to the extreme conditions <sigh>

 Have a great day HammerHeads....
