First Impressions...AMF's Titan
« on: September 01, 2004, 07:19:59 AM »
Beginning weight:

15 lb. 3 0z.
3" pin
3 oz. top

Bowler specs:

Medium-high rev player (400-425 rpm)
Ball Speed-17.3-17.7 MPH
Axis Tilt-45 degrees

Played over third arrow, maybe 16, to around the fifth or sixth board, trying to keep it from going out of bounds.

Condition type:

THS, out of bounds at five, oiled to 36", buffed to 45', fresh backends.

Drilling specs:

4X4
No weight hole needed
ending imbalances 3/4 oz. finger, 5/8 oz. side.

First, on behalf of all humans that thought AMF was dead, I apologize.  Columbia's help on this piece of equipment is outstanding.  Ball revs up clean through the heads with a very nice, pronounced, predictable move at the breakpoint.  This ball is VERY similar to the Emerald Buzzsaw C/2 or Silver Diamond, but at a fraction of the initial cost.  After alternating shots with a new Columbia Bully the first game(221) of courtesy week this afternoon, went 267-279 for 767 not having touched a ball since I shot 300 with my Uranium on 5/25/04.  The entry angle that was created with this ball allowed for incredible pin action with 18 month old AMFlites.  Next week, new pins.  Lord only knows what will happen then.  All I know, is I CANNOT wait for this upcoming season with this ball on my Wednesday league.  Friday's present a lot more oil outside of 10, and just might allow for an attempt throwing this ball outside(my preferred line of play).  Thanks, AMF and a BIG thanks to Clint Daley for his service in accomodating my weight requests for this ball.
