Title: Time to give an Alien Abduction away
Post by: itsallaboutme on April 17, 2013, 06:17:46 AM: The Alien Abduction is Elite's latest and greatest. It's a solid cover with an asymmetric core. About the same overall hook as the Black Alien, but a much different shape. It's in the warehouse and cleared for use. Let's give one away.
I don't need any life stories for this giveaway, any replies make you eligible. We'll let this go for a week. Drawing will be April 24.

Post by: raidernation34 on April 17, 2013, 07:43:10 AM: It would make a great B-day present (4-20) and I've always been curious about Elite balls.
Title: Re: Time to give an Alien Abduction away
Post by: RadioActive on April 17, 2013, 07:46:06 AM: Would be a great addition for me. I currently have an Espionage, and Red Alien that I am using. Had the Platinum, and a test ball that looks alot like the Orion. Have the Rev Terror on order.
Title: Re: Time to give an Alien Abduction away
Post by: rymacatthedisco on April 17, 2013, 07:51:36 AM: If this ball is 1/2 as good as the Espionage, you will not be disappointed! I have been throwing my Espionage everywhere I have been bowling and on EVERYTHING (from short to long)
Title: Re: Time to give an Alien Abduction away
Post by: spmcgivern on April 17, 2013, 08:02:56 AM: Looking to expand my arsenal this summer. Don't like throwing the same as everyone else so this should fit right in there.
Title: Re: Time to give an Alien Abduction away
Post by: mrfrostee on April 17, 2013, 08:14:08 AM: Would love to have one, may help raise my average. Of course I know the problem is the operator and not the ball.

Post by: carlos on April 17, 2013, 10:10:34 AM: Like to add an elite ball to the bag. I love to see people faces when I use something that's not being used in our local houses. Then two weeks later you began to see others with the ball.
Title: Re: Time to give an Alien Abduction away
Post by: itsallaboutme on April 17, 2013, 10:11:25 AM: The boys doing videos got the balls Monday and said they might have it done by the weekend, so hopefully they get them done so all of you can take a look.

Title: Re: Time to give an Alien Abduction away
Post by: ryguy119 on April 18, 2013, 02:48:49 PM: I received the Espionage from Jeff Walsh about 2 months ago. Awesome ball!! I love it. I am a 7 year prostate cancer survivor who just got bad news. My cancer has came back and now it is stage 4. Was given a 2 to 4 year time frame. Doctor told me to bowl as much as possible now so I have no regrets later. Cancer has spread to bones and lungs but I still feel good enough to bowl. I am social security disability so my income is limited. A new ball would be great especially from Elite Bowling.
