After getting off to an early season struggle, really in both leagues, where I entered with a book average of 235, I was averaging only 210 through 21 games, second shift league, both leagues featuring 5 man teams.
I decided I need to go weaker on the balls, and my first thought was a red Backlash which is a great ball in and of itself, but that same night, as I was leaving the shop for league, I added the Grape vibe to the bag, which had all of about 5 games on it to that point since drilling 4 months earlier. I havent loved a Vibe since the Blue, so I have been a skeptic about them.
I proceeded to shoot games of 266-300-257 that night for 823. Followed it up with a bad fill ball filled night of 799 the next week, and then a 777 the week after with a 211 middle game. (Don't talk bad about Jesus Tebow while they play on Thursday night football or you'll pay for it, as I did that game!)
Anyway, a 3 week span of 2399 for 9 games with a ball I had no idea was so good. I may have bowled better, but definitely do not feel I was throwing it THAT well, but the ball gives me such a great read for that second shift. We have since sold about 16 of them in the past 3 weeks, after selling about 4 since the release through early November.
Its a ball all need to seriously check out and consider for a broken down condition, as it has one of the best reads I have ever seen to get through the front of the lane and recover well, but will not overhook on you, and kicks the corners out great!
Best Vibe yet!
