Yep, cracked pin from drilling too close to it; no big deal though. I though he was throwing with a Sarge Easter grip. It looked funny when he was placing his hand in the ball. I guess it was the first I paid attention to it.

Interesting.  If you notice the position of the tape in his ring finger, it looks like he twists his hand clockwise, yet is still able to have thumb tape in the "normal" position.  Either I have a funky hand, or he does.

K-Dawg, he throws with the Sarge Easter with reverse pitchin the thumb.
I bowled with him in a Pro-am several years back and questioned how
long it took to adjuse.  His response, "a couple of months".

I bought 2 balls from him when he lived in vegas, his span was close to mine so i threw with his drilling awhile to see how it felt. For me it was easy to clear the ball but i had too much forward roll from the sarge easter ring finger. I still own one of the balls redrilled for me the super charge, very good ball he might have thrown it 2-3 games at the most.

He is not really a very friendly guy, he just wanted to leave me the balls i payed through paypal and blow me off within 30 seconds. Not a thank you or anything even close so i dont care too much for him now.
