People still throw the Doom?
« on: April 10, 2009, 04:52:51 AM »
I had this ball a few years back, and loved it.  I wish I hadn't gotten rid of it, actually.  Anyhow, I throw the ball a lot better now, and I thought maybe I should try to pick one up again.  Anyone still using a Doom, and is it still working for you?  Right now I use a Cell and Kinetic, and I'm looking for a third ball to add to the mix.

I've got to believe the ball is still working for folks...it had a pretty decent following on this board.

Ryan, you got rid of your Doom?  What's wrong with you bud? Just Kidding!

I loved the Doom and wish I still had a NIB one.

I was particularly poor at one time 2 summers ago, and sold off both my Doom and Pain.  Honestly, I wish I still had them both, as I am a FAR better bowler than I was then, and I'd like to see how they would react for me today.

splendorlex,
If you are unable to find A Doom, try a Rapid Fire Pearl drilled
the same. The RFP will be a hair stronger and start up a hair earlier.
They will handle the same oil volume and the reaction will be
very close.

My buddy and I both have one.  I don't use mine as much, but his is his only ball.  A couple weeks back he had a 299 game and 770 series....so its still working fine!

I'm still throwing mine.

I tend to use it to go a little straighter downlane, knowing that it's still got that skid/snap at the end, to handle any carrydown!

Great ball. I have two.

sold mine to a mate earlier this year to help him out when his balls got stolen, and replaced it with it a Hy-Road (very similar), but still wish i had it as it was a great ball and i always bowled with a lot of confidence with it - a true go-to ball. am considering buying it back...
