Equipment on Todays Telecast
« on: October 11, 2003, 11:55:27 PM »
Brunswick made a good showing today - 3rd, 4th, 5th. Some observations if I may be permitted:

1. Anyone who needed a definition of 'my ball burning up' only needed to watch Jason Hurd throwing the Raging Inferno. You just can't throw a strong particle ball on a conditon without lots of head oil and a long enough pattern. And I don't care who you are, if you have to cover that many boards AND bring the ball back from the edge, that surface isn't going to get the job done. Inferno would have been a much better choice. Even a dull Inferno if you really think you need some surface. I still haven't found a shot with enough oil to throw my Raging Inferno. Seems to be an oil shortage everywhere I go.

2. Looked like Lonnie was throwing a Bruiser. It looked great when he threw it well. Just didn't look like he was sharp today.

3. Brad Angelo - Too bad he didn't start with the Inferno. It's just a perfect ball on most shots where your shiny reactive is over-reactive and your particle stuff is burning up.

4. Storm was in the hand of the winning bowler, but you really can't credit the 'Ball' when Max-Bob is slinging it. He could score with just about anything. Simply an amazing thing to watch. There ain't much you can do when you're facing a Monster like that who's locked in except pray that he gets stone-9'd to death or leaves a "four through the face" somewhere along the way. Must be incredibly intimidating, although nobody would ever admit to that.

Confirmed it, Robert used the Boost all show.  The Power Ball logo was clearly visible on over half his shots when he was airing his hand before getting on the approach.

Cocky?  I'm not cocky.  I'm the proud owner of a 280-742 set with a White Dot.  So, who wants to touch me?  . . . . . . .  I SAID WHO WANTS TO F*#%!&G TOUCH ME?!?!

Man!  I'm like the white Larry Bird!

Did you notice on Smith's first strike in the first frame of the final game, the ball hit the pocket and almost finished in the "right gutter"
 Talk about deflection. But, the velocity and revs kicked the pins all over the place and he got a strike.

Robert smith was using the boost most of the game but he was using the x factor deuce I have it recorded and I noticed when it showed his ball it was the Deuce. And for the fill ball it was his Dexter Viz-A-Ball. Just to clear things up!!!!

LIMPIN WITH THE BIZKIT



According to the tech on the road with Robert (see the Shlemer report on the Storm website, he used the Boost for the telecast drilled 5 1/2 x 5.  The fill ball in the FIRST game was a Tour Power.........

It was a shock Trauma in the last game maybe the earlier also. We had paused our tape and it clearly stated The Shock Trauma logo. Looked almost like a label drill.



I paused my tape also, and CLEARLY see the BOOST LOGO. Maybe he threw both??
