Results with my Big-R-Bang are in!
« on: January 18, 2007, 03:44:37 AM »
So, I went and threw my new L/LM Big-R-Bang last night...not at my usual house, but another local house...First off, what L/LM says about their balls not soaking up oil is 100% TRUE! Either that or there was absolutely not a LICK of oil on the lane I was playing, because each time I'd pick up my ball and look for my track, I couldn't find one single oil line...
The paperwork says to play about 20 and throw about 10...but I tried that and it kept going brooklyn on me...maybe I need to adjust the coverstock or maybe I just need to learn how to throw a hook better (just learned on 3 days ago)...but in any case, I moved over to 5 and threw 5, and it worked out better. I was hitting mid 130's all night (which is good for me!) and in my 8th and final game, I rolled hard and hit a 202!!! My first time ever to break into the 200's! (High Game previously was a 180)

Way to go , "TS" !!!

Yeah ... a coverstock adjustment MAY be in order; if you have a good pro shop, they should be willing to watch you and make a recommendation. I had to adjust mine recently (see profile for my BRB's coverstock info).

That's for you, Barry; I guess that I'm one of the luckier ones that have found that it has matched up for me and my style with the layout that I have and the coverstock adjustment that I've had on it.

Yes, I'm not saying I'm not extremely pleased with this ball..it was definately making great pin hits, I just had to get the feel of it.
I will ask my house pro (I wasn't in my house last night) to watch me throw tonight and see what he recommends...who knows...on my house, with the OOB finish, it may be just perfect.

You've got to be kidding me, right?
You bought a $250 ball and you have a 130 average? Wow, do you need some lessons in reality. Please get a coach before you do something really dumb. Sorry, but your approach to learning a new sport/game DESPERATELY needs some realignment.

As much as I love and appreciate Legends/Lanemasters balls, what you're doing is, in my opinion, the absolutely worst way to learn.
