My New to Me Favorite!
« on: July 05, 2012, 09:25:10 AM »
Picked up this already drilled lefty favorite, adjusted my span and Voila so far almost gotta say....I love it!

Why I may even say it might be my new Favorite and I have some that I already LOVE!

On my longer house shot(40 feet on AMF HPL) I am playing this thing just a couple of boards weaker than my beloved No Mercy beatn and I believe with it's slightly pin up drilling thrown on this shot is packing the pocket harder and more flush, than just about anything I have!   

They said it was a league shot star and I believe it!  WOW!  My new Favorite!
Regards,

PS this long time Hammer brand lover(and still) I have an ONYX vibe that has a Similar but slightly weaker drilling on somewhat similar core specs, pin also up and can you say the ringing machine!  ring 7 ring 7 ring 7?  And the move looks very similar.  Is it the lower RG on the Favorite core that gets the ball to square up a little earlier, the stlightly stronger pin position(1/2 inch), the more kicked out cg?  Who knows, from ring to SING!

Always a ball I wanted to try.  I've seen bass use his in a tourney in the past. Nice ball motion.

I would assume that the Sure Thing in 900G's present line-up is about as close as you can get to a Favorite.

Scott,

I don't know, but On a 40 foot house shot.  It even makes ME look good!

Not bad!

PS if it were me, I'd get one!  But not mine please!
PPS I have a bounty hunter but with it's 79 rated coverstock for this slower speed revver can you say "Bounce" off the dry.  With this 57 rated coverstock still a strong angular move but readable!

Lucky,

I would love a NIB Favorite if I could get my hands on one. Super sweet ball. Kind of reminds me of a Break type move with a weaker shell.

Impending,

Now that I think of it....it reminds me of that move and shape of move but naturally because of the lower rated speed of response(57) coverstock, a little slower off the dry!  More controllable.

Of course I don't even like black bowling balls if I can avoid them.  But I'll make an exception for this one!

REgards,
