Had a conversation with a teammate on Wednesday about selling my Link.  I NEVER take it anymore because once I got it (almost a year ago), the house started putting out more volume.  My Awakening was all I needed.

Well....last night the Awakening was too much ball.  Resorting to suitcasing it up 10, and then I had no carry.  Grabbed the Link in the 10th and found the pocket.....and carry too.  Salvaged a 171.  Shot 201 the 2nd game due to some poor spare shooting.  Shot 237 in the 3rd game......missed 10 pin in the middle.

For some reason, I started carrying it last week.....and I'm glad I did.  Guess what ball WILL NOT be in the for sale pages today.

The Link is an underrated ball.If you can throw with any revs. it will save you on a dry shot.

The Link is what made me switch to all 900 Global balls.

I now use a Breakout and a Lunatic.
The Lunatic is a great bench mark ball for me.

LOL @ Polaris...I bet that Link is in your bag for tonight!

My Link was never very consistent for me.  It was somewhat dare I say...over/under.  I don''t have near the hand of Polaris, but even when I did hit the pocket...my Link left many corners.

However, the volume as of late has done a 180 and balls I had on the selling block now may be the ticket to score.  I am taking my Link tonight though I did hit it with a very work 4k pad to know some of the high shine away.  My theory is this will tame down the back end just a hair and allow me to play a straighter line.  If not, I am taking my Hornet...just in case.

I have only seen two Link''s in action...polaris and mine.  I can say being he has a good bit of hand, the ball is a very good fit in his arsenal.  I am still searching for that ever elusive ''drier'' lane ball.  I really wanted my Villain to fill this spot but it''s too aggressive even polished to a mirror.  Hopefully between my Link and Hornet, I can find the answer.
