My 2nd Nighthawk is here!
« on: November 29, 2006, 07:27:45 AM »
pictures now up on my site...

i went with a pin above the bridge with the MB in a stronger position and i decided to hit the surface with some clean and sheen...so its close to polish

hoping for more length with a big backend turn to complement the smoothness of my first...we will see

Hate to say it, but looking at your vids and the way you throw the ball you should have drilled the ball 5 by 3 1/2 giving the ball a little more flare. IMO, with the drill and the Clean N Sheen you are going to get a similar reaction as the other one. Still a great ball, but might not complement the other one as well as you might have hoped. I'll talk to Eric and see if he can get you another because your vids are great. Good luck and have a good weekend.

Strikezone,

I was considering going with a something like a 5 1/2 x 3 but i wasnt sure if that would make the TOO different...you may be right but i will find out tonight when i sub and report back!! worse comes to worse i could take the surface down on my original one too

maybe a third one is in order now

im waiting for the next release tho too...it will be a winner

i checked the pics they are working for me...is anyone else having a problem? if so let me know and ill try and get it fixed!!

Just got back from subbing tonite...the ball is a bit different than the other one, it does get further down the lane and it does turn harder on the back...they are not as different as i thought but i think they will complement each other i believe

in practice i pulled out my new one and got lined up...then i threw the old one a few times, same line and it just sat and didnt quite come up to the pocket...it had basicly rolled out and lost its energy once it hit the dry...because once i moved in a touch and found some more oil for the old one it shined again...

ended up shooting 722 Out Of the Box...it matches up to the current shot VERY well, the angle into the pins is a bit different and kicks out the corners nicely

so polished or dull this ball is a winner!!

just another small update...went to the other house tonight for my regular league, where they tend to play a little different with more of a wet dry feel and very clean backends, the second night hawk again matched up better than original...on this shot it was much more angular in the back than the 1st and gave me some more room to play with

shot 290 2nd game and another 700...back to back 700's and a 290 out of the box with the second nighthawk

I LIKE!!
