Got some of my new rocks punched (Grip-It, Sure Thing, and Dirty Look), waiting for some more of my new rocks to be punched (King Cobra and Desert Hook), and some of my old stuff redrilled (Bank Roll, War Eagle, and Hook Hybrid) and then dropping off even more of my stuff (Clutch Pearl, Black Eagle, and Hook Solid) to be plugged.
Pics of the new stuff.

Doom, your prob as excited as a kid on Christmas morning right now!
-
Nice pieces... I'll be jumping up and down on my bed too.....
-
What's your axis point IDoom?
-
No grips, no bevel (or very little), you've got a future kid.

DP3, 4-3/4*1/2
North face, thanks!

Black slugs too, nothing more dorky than ridiculous colored slugs and grips. Looks like ass going down the lane.
-
I had a white one, and hated it. If I could throw all solid color equipment, I would. Don't know how that grip-it is going to look lol. Hope that and my Desert Hook will help me on Sydney in June.
-
Grip-it looks like a winner. Actually all three based on those layouts look like they're going to roll really well.
-
Well, with the shape of that weight block, short pin to pap work well for me. On a fresh ths I tend to get too much bounce off the dry. I realized that every ball I had with the pin close to my pap (Predator, TNT, Money) rolled really well for me, but I didn't have one in my bag. Same way with the Sure Thing. I really wanted to emphasize the nature of the ball, so why not Rico?
-
I totally forgot to give a big thanks and shout out to my buddy Paul Colombani at Competitive Edge Pro Shop in Woodridge, IL for taking the time to do my stuff. If you're looking for a great pro shop to do business at in Chicagoland, head to Brunswick Zone Woodridge.
-
Like the RICO on the Sure Thing. Interesting layout on the Grip It. What's the angles on that one? For short pins I like doing pin in the ring finger. Tell us how they roll for you.
-
looks like the Grip It is a 2 inch pin to pap to even out the reaction so it does not overreact when it sees friction. But I'm certainly no expert.
-
Yes sir, Grip-it is 2*65 with a hole a little down from my pap. Looking for something that just lays the core down when it gets to the friction. For me it controls the overreaction off the dry on a house shot. Don't have to worry if you caught a handful.

You ball whore. ;D
Happy Easter Doom.

Happy Easter, sevenpin!

I've honestly NEVER seen anyone throw 900 Global or rarely will I ever see anyone throw AMF where I'm at. How do they roll? The guys over at 900 Global are the guys who used to run Track, is that true? They had some good equipment before EBI bought them.

Yes, they also made Columbia 300 and Dynothane as well. They are still using the same materials in the coverstocks as they before the EBI buyout. They still have the same ball designers as well.
As far as how do they roll? I wish I could sum it up in one word. If I did it would be phenomenal. If you want controlled ball reactions, they have it. If you are looking for skid/snap, they have that as well. I don't see them as a company that produces only one type of ball reaction. Each ball is designed with a purpose and fits very nicely into an arsenal. In my opinion, each release continues to impress. They continue to produce equipment that is very good and makes you say I wonder what they will come up with next. The hit and carry are second to none. Their equipment keeps the pins really low too. Give 'em a try, I think you will be surprised.
-
IMO, they fill gaps very well. I wouldn't have stuck with them since 07 if I didn't feel like I had a complete arsenal. Some pieces haven't impressed me as much as others, but in the bag right now, I am really digging the King Cobra, Network, Darkness, Hook. Others are more condition specific, some with layouts meant for different motions, but there isnt one up top where I am like "Meh, not so much." Desert Hook is great for the burn, Grip it with that layout is great for controlling wet dry, Dirty Look is great at opening up the lane.
