Red Zone: Initial Review, Thoughts & Pictures
« on: September 01, 2006, 02:02:06 AM »
Hey BR Family,

Used the Red Zone tonight in the playoffs. We lost 7 points to 5, but that's ok.
(2 Game Roll off - First to 7 points - 4 man teams (1 point for each indiv. win and 2 for Game)

Specs
Weight = 15.2
Pin = 2.5-3
TW = 3.4

Layout
5 1/4 x 4 3/4 x 4 7/8 MB
Pin 1 3/4 up from midline located right under the bridge

Ball is sweet! For a pin under, goes kinda long still (Guessing due to the Polished cover), but has a nice hard arc.
Will try a cover change or Weight hole in thumb positive quadrant after the tournament. I want to break in this ball a bit. I could see myelf liking this ball! But it is still early haha.

Had a few splits the first game 191
Decent game the 2nd = 215

Overall, a good medium ball. There was a bit more oil tonight (with OOB at 5 and out) and I played straighter and more up the track instead of wheeling it. It didn't like carrydown with OOB surface. With heavier oil in the heads and middle, the ball just floated, but when it transitioned to dry, it wanted to turn.

Nice! Will report after this weekends Reno tournament!

As always, Vids coming very soon...
