Falling In Love With the Lunatic
« on: September 17, 2009, 03:27:23 PM »
I picked this piece up from a fellow poster here on BR and I have to say....I am very impressed.

The ball is drilled as such:

I had been looking for a good pin under ball that would allow me to play the middle part of the lane inside the ball track. So I picked this up from one of you all on here.

Well I am in love. With everything else I have used the ball checked up too hard off the end of the pattern. The Lunatic let's me sit inside and not have the shot break down in 8 frames.

THe ball gets thru the heads cleanly, makes a slight move in the mids and has a very even and smooth transition off the spot...I have been plesantly surprised. I normally have to move area codes with my other equipment during the night (Burn, Psycho, Evolution, Dynamo-X2 etc) but I moved 5 boards with my feet and 5 boards with my eyes all night, that's it.

I think I am going to pick up another one of these gems when finances permit and drill it up differently.

Great piece 900 Global.....keep the hits coming!!!!

I love my Lunatic as well, its pin over the ring with the CG in the ring finger, works great when the Jigsaw is too much, gets me length with still a smooth back end and hits very very hard.

I have mine pin under bridge, sounds like it works very similar to yours doug! excellent ball on THS and was a savior on Cheetah! doesn't over react and allows me to play up the boards or open up and swing it inside.  I kept the oob polish on it, adds a nice little pop to it.

They don't have to be a lunatic to cost you money...but I think most of us have a story like that, lol.

I drilled mine with a 5 and a half inch pin to pap, that is my go to ball for lighter/shorter mediums. That layout stores alot of energy and is great for inside lines for me. Love it.

The 900 Global brand should now be available through most distributors so your pro shop should not have any trouble getting one. If their regular supplier does not carry them the pro shop can order 900 Global and AMF balls direct from 900 Global themselves.

Great product at very competitive prices.....
