Post by: MegaMav on November 16, 2006, 03:49:27 PM
Manufacturers release their high performance bowling balls under the X-Blem, X-Out or Second label when small non-performance issues occur. The core and coverstock combinations on these bowling balls are identical to the first line bowling balls.
A bowling ball is labeled an X-Blem, X-Out, or Second for any one of the following reasons:
Color pigmentation.
Small pitting caused by air bubbles.
Unique pin placement, top weight, or mass bias marking location.
Labels are engraved in unusual places or may have the wrong logos engraved on ball.
Swirl patterns of the ball are not consistent, which may effect the color (look) of the ball greatly.
Engravings such as the serial numbers, cg location markers or logos may be stamped on the ball more than once.
These differences do not effect the performance of the bowling ball or the ability to drill the bowling ball. Therefore allowing bowlers to purchase top of the line bowling equipment at a fraction of the cost.
NOTE: Due to the limited availability of X-Comps, X-Blems, X-Outs, and Seconds pin placement and top weight are not guaranteed.

I hope I am wrong, but I see no reason why they would sell these balls for that low of a price, if the problem was just a color issue..
I know someone that ordered an infinite one second or blem from bowlingball.com and the ball was basically undrillable with the location of the pin cg and bomb.. I personally will never buy a blem or second again as I have had nothing but bad luck with these types of balls.. Good luck to all that bought the scorchin 2nd's and hope they all have usable specs..
As far as the user that bid on the ball and sent them an email. They will not let you out of the auction if you win it. Everything for them is automated because they sell so much on ebay. They will expect you to follow thru with the winning bid and if you don't pay they will also put you on their list of non-paying bidders and they will not allow you to bid on anymore of their auctions. I know this for a fact as I am not able to bid on any of bowlingball.com ebay auctions because of an issue I had with them awhile back.

Whoever orders, make sure you give us an update when you receive the ball.
By the way, there are only TWO shipping options:

Keith, where do you specify top weight / pin within the google checkout?
When I ordered at the end of Oct, they did not have that option available. You have to email or contact them by using the site contact service with the specs and they will include it in the order.
That may not be how it works now.

If you are not ordering everything online this Holiday Season through Google Checkout, you are throwing money away. They currently are only working with the larger Internet companies.
Thanks again everyone for making us the largest online bowling retailer.
Thanks Google.
Remember we guarantee pins and tops at our website, always.
First quality product, unless going through www.bowlingdeals.com and then it is always clearly stated if the ball is a second or blem. We currently sell not blems or seconds on www.bowlingball.com.
We have moved the notes field just before you click on Google Checkout. If you missed it or are having problems, please email us immediately and we will get your specs request into your order.
We only have 2-3 and 3-4 pins.
AN OBSERVATION: We give it 100%, customer service is of the upmost importance to us. I have noticed that someone, maybe the owner of the this website, is posting negative information. Once I noticed bowlingcom as the user, only to see it get changed a few minutes later. Many of my post have been removed, but we will keep plugging away.

If you are not ordering everything online this Holiday Season through Google Checkout, you are throwing money away. They currently are only working with the larger Internet companies.
EXAMPLE: You purchase 5 $30 gift certificates at bowlingball.com. Each order must be placed separately. You then go back to our website and use the 5 gift certificates to purchase $150 worth of product. MULTIPLE GIFT CERTIFICATES MAY BE APPLIED TO ORDERS. You will receive another $10 off by checking out with Google; add our FB10 code for another $10 off. You have just saved $70 on your $150 order. Hard to believe, but that is the way it works right now.
We have sold an unbelievable number of $30 gift certificates since the promotion began.

I just tried to use them though and when I got down to the last one, the total I still owed them was $24.99 and I tried to use my last $30 gift certificate and thought it would just give me $5.01 back.
For some reason it would not take that code b/c it was for more than the total owed. I had to cancel my order for now and am waiting to hear back from their customer service. I know they will get it right, This order will be my 7th ball bought from them this month along with some polish and cleaners. They are quickly becoming the best online since these deals last month.

Ugly ball, good spects, better price. Mine will be here tomorrow. How you punching yours Rod?
I honestly have no idea.
Perhaps like my StrikeZone being that it's not polished.

I seriously need to learn more about mapping my own equipment. I'm thinking pin under finger so get the ball rolling earlier.

I would be careful with a stacked drilling with pin in palm. I heard that these balls have pretty good traction. You wouldn't want it to roll out too early. Do a little research before punching it.

i did that with the razor wire and it was a beast on a fresh shot
with clean backends, but once there was carry down it was over/under
big time. it screamed through the heads and midlane and "left turn clyde"
on the back. but i did have about 4 or 5 coats of polish on it.
havent tried the black magic yet. my bottle of magic shine is almost out,
i may try black magic or brunswick factory polish.

I drilled the ball out with the pin above and between my fingers (approx 5 1/4" pin to PAP) and cg out a little with a small weight hole on my PAP. I took it out for a few shots on day old open play carry down. The ball was very smooth rolling... seemed to get through the heads fairly well... I had to play a more direct shot due to all the carry down, but the ball hit fine. I think on a fresh shot, this ball is going to roll very nice.. once I get a few more games, I'll post a full review.

It seems like a very good deal! What pin and top weight should I specify if I want it to skid and snap??
The scorchin is not a good choice at all for a skid/snap reaction. Thats not what the ball was designed to do. However, for most skid/snap layouts, a 3-4" pin would allow you to put the pin above the fingers to create the length and backend.
