Post by: BabyHammer on February 28, 2010, 03:09:15 AM
does anyone know what Bill Oneill is using on tv today
--------------------
Hey Dynoless daddy....i am still smashing you on a regular basis!  wow some things dont change


When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and falls on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

Gotta be a Nasty.  He doesn't seem to take that ball out of his hand.  Although the shot he just threw was something different.

Who needs a 300 or 800, when I have a 294 and a 295!?!?!

i wasnt 100% sure.  My nasty has alot of red in it, i thought it may have been an old Purple Vibe, but now that i am thinking about it, i am not even sure that he could get his hands on one , they got phased out a few years ago......thanks for the quick response.i hope he wins.

nope its a nasty...i hope Bill Smashes Mike Scroggins, he is way to ugly for television.  i know that he is consistant as hell, but i hate his game.  its simple and effective, but he is not fun to watch on TV, but if it works, then it works

They should have just let TJ use Track stuff seeing that he uses that line most of the time. The Mission looked good the first game though.

Baldo says "The Real Deal" used a Black Widow Nasty with a 4 1/2" pin below the fingers at 45 degrees and a very large weight hole down just right of the thumb

Of course he's gonna throw a newer Hammer ball on TV... All day Saturday in match play he was throwing a Total Bedlam.

And that's why they're paid as staffers, and not free agents.

It is pretty amusing that a majority of the time the ball you see the guy throwing on TV is not one of the ones he was throwing during the week. It''s all about pushing the new stuff out and when people see it being thrown they automatically assume that they were throwing that ball the whole week and want to run to there pro shop to drill one up.

Doesnt it have to do with the fresh oil though?  When we say "different ball all week", it's on transition and breakdowns, and the burn, isn't it?

A half ten is not a great shot.  No, you shouldn't have carried it.

Because we all know that the TV show plays exactly like the pattern did all week.

This isnt why. They are forced to throw the company that they are signed to, when they make the show. When they are in qualifying and match play, they can use any ball under the Ebonite International Umbrella, same goes for Storm/Roto. But when they make TV they must use the exact brand that they are signed to, so Tommy didnt have any choice but to throw Ebonite on the show.

I don't know why they wouldn't let TJ use track since that brand doesn't seem to have a face at the moment. If Couch can hold up he's always been the face of Ebonite, so why not use TJ elsewhere?

the magic action would have worked fine, he didn't play the correct line. He found a better line once the match was already out of reach. Ebonite had the right products in TJ's hand.

Hmm..Lets see what I have in this bag..A radiated C-System 3.5,an Invasion, a bright red Mission, a Motiv Qz1 Fire ball,and a green Avalanche.. how can I lose....

....HG-300(2006 w/Desert Heat)...299 (03/15/09 w/Agent Orange)...HS-776 (Hot Sauce Pearl & Ebonite Magic)

Not totally true either. If you remember Wes Malott threw a Invasion a couple of weeks ago on the show and he is Roto Grip so Storm must have a different rule on that.

O'Neill just got done being interviewed on the Let's Go Bowling radio show and confirmed he was rolling the BW Nasty.  Looked great coming off his hand and I was glad to see him win his 1st major title.
