Title: Brunswick Kid video - Vapor Zone
Post by: icetink on March 19, 2006, 08:02:28 AM: The backends weren't exactly flying; the fresh pattern starts off with medium length and medium volume and strong but not flying backends. It was after a 3-game, 5-players/team league, and by the time he got to bowl, the pattern was pretty broken down and short but the volume of oil wasn't bad. There was light carrydown as well.

Here's a pic of how his Vapor is drilled:

LOL! Yeah ... my lil' bro chose his own music. He chose the music in my Machine vid to. I don't think R&B or hip-hop works too well with bowling vids, so I needed his help, hehe!

LOL! Good one. It's true though, those were really bad shots... except for my strikes and stone 9.

Death metal and strokers don't match, but I love the song. Cookies to anyone who knows what band and song that is.

That Vapor Zone hooks just like my vapor zone, smooth arch to the pocket. My Rampage has more backend pop then my vapor zone.

Post by: luvdasport on March 20, 2006, 11:02:02 AM: if you want that ball to hook in that condition you're throwing in, you should play just abit outside like 7,6,5 boards tight. you will not be disappointed. btw those lanes look like it's a med shot with no backend.

Title: Re: Brunswick Kid video - Vapor Zone
Post by: icetink on March 20, 2006, 05:01:43 PM: LOL! Actually, that was a Target Zone, hehehe! Playing outside would have resulted in the ball checking up early and going nose or brooklyn. There's a good volume of oil near the middle, so it's best to keep it there to get enough length.

I find it interesting how many different people have different opinions on lane conditions. While some think the shot is medium with strong/flying backends, other think the pattern is short with carrydown, or medium with no backends, or something different.

The Vapor is an awesome ball for my lil' bro. It's his first ball out of the bag, and he can play pretty straight with it on fresh, or he can swing it pretty well when the shot breaks down. It does pretty well on carrydown for him as well.

Thanks for the comments and/or suggestions!

I thought it was a good video, good change from seeing strikes all the time in most of the other bowling videos I've seen.

Post by: jhutch769 on March 21, 2006, 02:20:42 AM: I would start the ball a bit lower and keep the push off foot on the ground instead of "flying" at the line, though I only saw you fall off balance one or two times. I think by lowering the ball you will slow everything down and hopefully become a bit more "on-time" and stop from pulling the ball so much. It is late while I am watching this though and my glasses are dirty, so I will watch it again tomorrow when I am at the bowling center and can get this into BowlersMAP.

Post by: killswitch66 on March 21, 2006, 04:51:24 AM: awesome song on the video, alaska by between the buried and me, i like your taste in music haha....good video as well....also to add about the music, BTBAM isnt death metal, i hate when people say that all scream metal is death metal, its very steriotipical. BTBAM is progressive hardcore, just thought i would let some of you guys know

Post by: NappyCuts on March 21, 2006, 06:46:46 AM: It's amazing how you finish at the line very similar to BrunsNick. You start off with the ball higher in your stance, your backswing is lower, but you end up with your leadfoot sideways and your body mannerisms look just like his. BrunsNick have you been moonlighting giving lessons?

my bad, i should have paid more attention to your post. after a 3 game 5 player league, you should have been throwing that on 17 crossing 3rd arrow right down to 10 9. you're right that if you moved outside it would have gone brook or worst.

Post by: icetink on March 21, 2006, 02:35:10 PM: Nope, sorry, heheh!

This was filmed at Brunswick Zone Mississauga, in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada! I sure would love to bowl elsewhere though, but this centre is the cheapest in my area, lol!

Post by: JDStorm on March 21, 2006, 06:43:48 PM: It's not *that* bad of a house, Dino!

Good video, and a good ball too.

Yeah, I would classify the shot as "medium" this year, 10:1 ratio. Backends certainly controllable. Although I'd disagree with you about that "slight-out-of-bounds outside 5" comment you made.

Your brother throws the ball pretty well! I'd like to see him play a little straighter to take advantage of the dry around the five-board... but that's just my preference.

Post by: Canuck on March 21, 2006, 08:24:56 PM: Yea Dino there hasn't been an out of bounds here since........

the summer.

House has become a lot more wide open lately (unfortunately) because back at the start of September with the new oil and new house shot the place was a little more challenging.

The house isn't that bad.

Post by: icetink on March 21, 2006, 08:53:05 PM: Ya ... lol! There hasn't been an out of bounds since October? My bad ... hehe! I'm looking forward to bowling this weekend, I doubt I can bowl any day this week. I might come out on Thursday if I don't have a group meeting at school at like 8pm, hah!

Nice to see you guys post here!

...and Jeff, your Paradigm is a backend monster so obviously it's easy for you take advantage of that dry !
