Thanks for drilling the pearl with a leverage layout. You can really see how it tames it down.

My favorite sport, my favorite band. I must say... too intense for mere mortals.
I like the solid as well. I don't need a new ball, but since when does that matter? Nice job.

Our house shot never plays outside enough for me to show the line you're looking for, especially with my rev rate. The only 2 balls I've been able to play out with consistently were the Red Pin and Groove Urethane.

What tendons are you struggling with, I have to do something to save my wrist before I'm wheeling ten pound balls with two hands. Will the sarge take pressure off the wrist?
Post by: BrunsNick on February 27, 2008, 09:29:52 PM
So far, so good!
Donny, Damien was a son of someone there, someone with great background in the PBA and bowling in general. He was a handful, but hilarious to Ric & I. He always had a quick answer to everything, with the same tone everytime. Classic.
As for Kool-Aid and the meaning... well I suppose that is better left unsaid.

crankncash, the ring finger is the main tendon stretching from the knuckles back to the wrist. I injured this years back, as the specialist said, was a hyperextension for too much torque. With Sarge, I feel no pain because the ring finger is not doing any work. I've also stopped tucking my pinky in hopes to reduce the grip pressure.

Thanks Nick, after reading that it reminds me of how I first hurt myself and how I was bowling when I wasn't feeling pain AND how I have changed it lately... The darn pinky tuck, for a couple of years I couldn't even do it, then of late I was stuggling to get the ball where I wanted it, went back to the pinky tuck with no pain, and now I am feeling it again. I guess its time to change that up. If that fails, its time to try something else I guess, Sarge may be in my future. I tried a friend's ball (actually was mine, I gave it to him and he tried sarge on it) and it wasn't much difference for me as far as adjusting. Is there a magic formula for determining how/where to drill the ring finger?
