hits like a truck?
« on: October 20, 2004, 02:16:49 PM »
does most everyone who writes a review state that there ball hits like a truck or something to that effect.  just my opinion here but i would like to see some better quality reviews containing info on the ball, lane conditions, bowler style, rev rate, ball speed, etc.  i do use the reviews when i am looking for a new ball.  i would also like to see people state the negatives to a ball also.  we all know that there is not one ball made for every lane condition.  i have only wrote 2 reviews but am going to do more.  my reviews might not be the greatest but i try to make them as factual as i possibly know.  just offering my 2 cents worth.

Yes this is an on going problem we've had for a while now. People love to state the fact that 'they shot their frist 700 with this ball' and that it 'hits like a mac f*cking truck'. We really need some type of form to fill out.

i like bk25's response. i think that something like an info sheet to fill out would be a great thing.  just something to make people consider more about what the ball actually does. i would also like it if people would give there ball about 2-3 weeks or so before they write a review. too many times people are saying they just drilled it up tonight. we all know for a fact that it takes more than just one night to know what a ball will and will not do.

I just wish that they would tell us what KIND of truck.  I mean, a pick-up?  An 18 wheeler?  Diesel?  We need to know.

I personally like the phrase "hits like a freight train". Its a little bit more descriptive, and really illustrates my point. I mean, have you ever seen a cow hit by a fright train?! ITS A MASSACRE!
