Title: Special Thanks - My300club.com
Post by: tekneek on May 15, 2008, 01:44:26 AM: I'd like to thank Danny Speranza and the others in San Antonio for making the Award Ball and getting it out to the winners so soon. Mine arrived yesterday, a different color which will distinguish it from any other ball on the ball rack. Personalized engraving on the ball gives it even more eye appeal. It is engraved with the winners name along with his/her accomplishment and date it was achieved. If you have not seen the ball or would like to see it follow this link to: www.my300club.com

The site is published by Danny Speranza formally of Columbia, now with 900G and AMF. Danny's background is given within the site, a wealth of bowling knowledge is contained in this site, well worth the miniscule membership fee to join. If you have not visited the site you really should to refine your game! Again a special thanks to all involved with this site and their devotion to the bowler and the sport of bowling.

Post by: tekneek on May 20, 2008, 07:40:04 PM: thanks for the props Jim. This is just a little update, Danny and the gang sent me a 4" pin with 3-1/2 ounces top weight, telling me it was stronger than what the core numbers would indicate. With that in mind I wanted to get a true showing of the balls strength, so I drilled it 5 x 4 no x-hole, to match the drilling on my Heist 5 x 4 (3-1/2" pin) drilled the same, and a Terminal Velocity drilled 4 1/2 x 4(4-1/2" pin). In all honesty I really thought the Award Ball would drop between the Heist and the Code. Bowled on a fresh THS, clean backends, got loose with both the Heist and TV, the TV is about 3 boards stronger than the Heist, both box finish, the Ab just absolutely blew me away, as well as the TV and the Heist. Tried the same line I use with the Heist, first ball went face up, moved 2 & 2, cut the head pin off the 3 pin, moved 3 & 3, proceeded to throw 7 straight flush strikes before pinging a 10. All I can say is this ball is something totally radical from what I had expected.

The core is a totally new design, a brain child of Danny and Nick, the core numbers were given as 2.501 - .049, the cover is a Super-Flex or S40 base with some goodies added. Upon hearing the core numbers and cover I initally was not overly impressed, really thought it would be something along the lines of the old C300 Messenger series, about three light years off with that analogy. After throwing it for a few games I still catch myself wondering how it could be so strong, stronger than anything I have drilled and currently use. It sets up with an excellent mid lane roll, heavy, excellent read and a backend that still amazes me, moves like a pearl when it encounters the first dry board, very angular with recovery of a much higher rg differential ball. If you guys have not joined the club you are missing the boat entirely. If you average one honor score a year you must join, the ball is worth three times the $44.00 you have invested, let alone the info contained in Danny's website, so get off the pot and get signed up, there are no gimmicks, just do it you won't be sorry !!

I can't wait until I can put some holes in mine. September can't come fast enough.

Post by: tekneek on May 21, 2008, 07:00:14 AM: thanks Tracy, spoke to Danny to get all the info, the ball is very special, some of the tech in this ball will be introduced into one or maybe both of the lines at a later date, the core is a real mystery, I wasn't allowed to have a pdf file showing the core shape, so I'm sure it will surface at a date down the road. As the club grows we as members will be allowed input into the next ball to be made, core numbers color and cover, gives the bowler some input as well as the designers of what we would like to see happen next, if you haven't signed up I can assure you it is well worth it !!!

Glad to hear you enjoy the reaction of the Award Ball. The reaction does catch the eye both from cover and core. Yes the technology is a new design and it very interesting as a pseudo "half-metrical" ...(let the imagination run!)

Post by: tekneek on May 21, 2008, 08:40:14 AM: Nick you guys have done a great job designing this ball, I guess surprised was really not the correct word to use, more astounded would be more accurate. I'm really en about the up coming releases, I'm waiting for Dale to finish the marketing materials to begin the hype. I'll be making a trip to SA the 20th of June, hope you'll be around would like to meet and steal a few minutes of your time, "brain picking session"

I am 99% sure I want to join the my300club.com, but can you share some of the other things that are available to members on the website?

Post by: tekneek on May 21, 2008, 09:17:49 AM: the math or ball path simulator is the most interesting to me, you take the values of your current arsenal, plug in the figures and it computes the ball path based off the info you input. So you can basically see what a ball does or should do before you buy it to fill in the holes you might have. The bowling tips are from Danny and others I assume, a great way to pick up your game and move up towards the next level, as I've said already it will be the best $44 investment you'll make in regards to your game and knowledge.

It doesn't look like I'm bowling this summer, so I guess I will join when the fall season starts. Need to maximize my opportunities to qualify for an award!
