300 with a Wisdom
« on: September 30, 2012, 01:05:31 PM »
Just shot a 300 with a new Wisdom friday night in a trio's tournament.
Only the 2nd game out of the bag with this ball.
Finished up throwing the Look for a nice 743 series.

Nice shooting.  Conditions sound interesting if you went from a Wisdom to The Look.

My guess would be that he had to migrate in and needed something that would corner. Wisdom looks ultra smooth (Only other ball that looks smoother is the Cobra) and if he had to bump his feet left, maybe he needed to ball up?

My Wisdom in my hands and others in my house with it's S65 cover, JUMPS.

We matched it up with the humungous Mission 250K and it was almost as much.

I have heard the new Wisdom is smoother.

I keep trying to picture how an S65 cover can be smooth on real wet dry!

Congratulations!
The ball is just the tool used. It's the toolmaker who uses it to craft the "piece of art"!!

Have you tried a little surface or a flare reducing weight hole to increase the amount of control you have over the ball's reaction?
 
The new Wisdom has a much lower Differential as well as a higher RG. Most reviews, especially that by Joey Cerrar for Bowlers' Journal Int'l, seem to indicate it is much more the control ball that the original was intended to be.

Charlest,

Have not gotten around to anything with it!  We were just suprised at it's incredible strength and jump on non blended dry!  Of course the old Wisdom...some ideas to smooth it a bit of course.

Worthwhile to try before investing in the new one.
FWIW I was also surprised by the strength of the old Wisdom. Seems to have a better use when you need to move deeper on a medium-light to medium oil pattern which is breaking down. Closer to a 2Fast or Shatter or a Jewel or a Bull Whip in nature than a Cobra or an IQ Tour.

The reason I switched was to take care of midlane squirt.
Look was actually too much ball for the condition but by making a hand adjustment it worked out in the end.
The one time I subbed in that house I used a Sure Thing for 750.
They juiced them up more thats why I threw a Wisdom.
Still not enough oil for a Bank Roll or Freight Train though.
