In the last 3 weeks with this ball I've won a scratch tournament, shot 826 without a 300, and just shot my second 300 last night. I've had 2-3, 279's and a 290,and nothing under 720 in league..This ball is amazing, my league-mates say I'm cheating. The ball is not a hook monster, no fancy drillings. Basic pin under the ring, and out of the box surface. I'm playing the same part of the lane as most everyone else. But here's what I see,...I carry more strikes than ever before. The ball carries the ten pin better than any ball I've ever seen. I can't explain it, but even the balls off my hand that aren't exactly my best still seem to hit and carry,...can't put this one down. jime

Apparently you have not fully expierenced the full effects of the Soaker, I guess bowling in the Mohave has really tainted your views. There have been many posts on the scientific benefits of the soaker and how it gets stronger with extended use. My advice is to view some of these informative posts and see how others have enjoyed the long life and increased performance of the Soaker.

We are working on a new concept core and new coverstocks. "Loose lips sink ships" No more info just yet.

Ok, mum is still the word. How bout colors? That could't possibly sink a ship.And please don't say camo, but that would have been a good color combo for the Sniper.I should be in D/T's marketing dept.instead of in the parking lot picking up Jim's Whattaburger wrappers.

Newguy,
I've been putting up some big numbers throwing your stuff(2-800's and some big 7's).Every once in a while I get crossed up by my now 3 ball DT arsenal(Vendetta Sniper,Thing Lives and Zr40).
Here's the way I usually use them.

League shot(36ft.) with dryboards out;

Thing Lives

League type shot(38-41 ft.) no carrydown;

Zr40

League type shot(41+ ft.) with carrydown;

Vendetta Sniper

This combination seems to work well but every once in a while my Thing Lives seems stronger than the other 2 balls.
That's were I start to second guess myself.

--------------------
If it doesn't have DT or RG stamped on it.
Just leave it in the bag.

Well...the Thing Lives probably should be the strongest ball out of that arsenal as I understand it.

Zr40's are strongish, but certainly not monsters

Snipers I have not thrown, but neither are they a BIG hook ball

Thing Lives were made to be pretty darn aggressive heavyish oil balls, so it would strike me that it would probably be your strongest ball on most conditions.

Kyle: Chef, we need Butters to gain about 50 pounds, fast.
Chef: Well, if you want him to get really fat as fast as possible, one of you will have to marry him.
Stan: Marry him?
Chef: It definitely worked for every woman I've ever met.

tekneek · « **Reply #24 on:** February 27, 2006, 02:59:46 PM »

My thoughts also, TL strongest, in terms of overall hook on med to heavy oil

Sniper great med oil contol ball and for carrydown

Zr40 should be in everones bag, great benchmark contol piece, strong but not jumpy or snappy, just Mr Smooth with great wacking ability.

Less angular, more predictable, not quite as many boards covered overall, but I'm still breaking in and it is approaching the AU in terms of overall strength. My AU tended to be a little more prone to skidding too far.

Not the way that Soaker coverstocks need to be "broken -in". Try one and you'll see what we mean. I think but am not 100% positive that it's more like "priming the pump": they need to start absorbing oil in order to dissipate the oil properly. Just a wild guess on my part.

I do know that roughing up the cover has a different effect on them than 15-25 games of bowling. After that much bowling, they start getting ... powerful.

I have tried them all, and found that cracking the surface with scotch brite will get the ball to resemble the "15-25" game reaction. Just a tip some guy gave me.

tekneek · « **Reply #30 on:** February 28, 2006, 07:24:52 AM »

I'm not sure it has anything to do with the breakin, more to promote friction and earlier hook on the first set of flare rings opposed to later turn by using it on the last few rings.
