Throttle/R, good stuff, might want one.
« on: November 09, 2004, 11:27:09 PM »
I saw the reviews on this ball were mixed with some of our best reviewers hating it!

Last night watched a guy throw 776 with it!

Of course having about 18 mph speed and 450 rpms helps.

This guy had switched off this ball for a while this year to the Scamp from AMF(higher rg) and hadn't really looked like himself.

Last night he took this baby out and looked so confident and free that he really couldn't miss.  Last game 279.

Slightly earlier read(lower rg) for these long but light oiled synthetics was just the key.

I was using on the left my nice Reaction Rip which was a pretty good fit but not like his.  Of course I don't have 450 revs.

Also I was using a new fit ID from John P a thumb billow.  Not bad for the guy who has an oval thumb and uses a round hole.

Anyone out there got one of these throttle/r you don't like in good shape single drill?

REgards,

Of course his other ball that he had about 8 or 10 800s with last year was the wired!  He makes stuff just look good.

Lefty, I just got a NIB Throttle/R from cheapbowlingballs.com for about $99 shipped...not sure if they have 15#, but I'd check into it, they do real good service there and are very personable...not sure on pin placements either, i'll be getting mine today and i'll report back on the results!

my local shop has a single plug one(looks excellent) that a guy hasnt picked up for about 8 months(i see it in there everytime i go in) and i ask to buy it everytime and he says that if he sells it the guy will probably come in the next day.

BUT the pro shop owner is retiring in dec.-jan. so maybe i can finally get it.

if i do ill contact you via pm(i guess)

if i remember correctly the plug is label leverage RH, BUT im not totally sure about the weight
