Title: Columbia Noize
Post by: agroves on September 29, 2008, 05:06:29 PM
Drilled a Noize for the wife today.  

14lbs
--Pin below ring--4" pin to pap
--Box finish

Head to head with the Playmaker, it was 6 and 4 left into the puddle.  She only tossed it about 20 shots.  It set up much earlier than anything else she has.  The reaction was a hard arc from the dryboards.

You might change the surface a little to give a little more length and retain energy a little better.  It will also make the arch a little more controlable.

First set is in the books....

She shot:

228-258-247-270 for 1003.

I think it is a keeper.

the more games i use my noize, the more i like it and ive kept it oob condition. this ball rolls very well with excellent back end. ive only ran into one condition where the ball didnt work well. overall this, so far is an excellent ball.

i hit mine with 1k abralon and then lightly went over it with 2k abralon. used it this past monday night and it rolled great. carried great too. if i hit the dry, it made a nice hard roll. if i got it in a tad, it still recovered well to hit the pocket solid and move the pins around.

i also have a momentum swing sitting in the box, so i will probably drill that up 4 1/2, pin up, 75* and leave it at 2k. figure it will give more angle, for when the noize starts to puff a bit.

but for right now, i am having a hard time putting my noize down!!

The cooler temps have helped with oil at my house and have decided to put mine back to 1k and avoided burning up until the third game and it gives me a really different look I can play much more direct and stay left of the track it carried well.

just bought the noize and the first game i tossed a 196 from a 170 average bowler. this is the best ball i've ever thrown i believe and for the money you can't beat it. this ball hooks however u want and then some.The backends snap so strong the pins just explode into the "noiZe" fantastic ball!

Hey Group
 Which ball is the better ball for a med-heavy oil condition the Noize or the Rival?

I have recently been playing up the 8/10 board and throwing it somewhat faster now-a-days

The Noize will hook more, but the Rival seems to be a better ball overall to me.

I drilled my noize up earlier this week and threw it this weekend down in Springfield, Mo on the chamelon pattern.  I was impressed by the many angles i was able to play with this ball.  I started off playing up 5 and by game 4 is had moved into 12 swinging to to 4.  I still had the pop that i needed to carry.  Then I threw it during the Pro-Am on the house shot and played in around 23 out to 10.  This ball came screaming back.  The Noize, Swing and Arch our becoming my goto balls now.  Cant wait for the Perfect Rival.
