Post by: T C 300 on April 06, 2011, 10:05:14 AM
from what ive been told the pattern is short.... oh and they hook, but its deff a playable shot!
and its like 83* in there... wear shorts and a nike dri-fit shirt!! lmfao
this what ppl said last yr at galesburg... "oh there dry and they hook too much"
you just need some thing that gets down the lane is all..

Thanks brunswick for moving bowling ball manufacturing to Mexico.
Now using 900 Global & AMF equipment, scoring higher than when I was using brunswick plus it's manufactured in America by Americans.

Anybody bowl in Aurora yet?
Post by: Pozz on April 08, 2011, 05:11:56 AM
I don't mean this offensive in anyway. I saw alot of middle aged people using the Nano while I was there. The ball gave most an okay look but left a lot 10 pins. Most of the guys using the stronger balls looked to me like they were playing up five or really up 13 with just a little hook at the end. I am a tweener and was able to play 20 out to 5 with a Hyroad at about 16 mph. There is a shot to be played from all angles it seemed to me depending on skill level. I bowled with a kid from Springfield, Illinois who shot 700 in all three event and he was using an old beat up Black Widow and lofting it 25 feet down the lane and slamming pins. Hope it helps a little. Good luck to all.

LMFAO!! i know that kid... scott marshall.. lil dude with glasses.
and yes he lofts the ball PAST the arrows!! not a bad bowler, just a very very odd style...
the way he tracks the ball helps him alot in houses where carry is tough...
he had back to back 300's this yr...

It doesnt matter whether they were throwing a Nano or Plastic ball....if the Nano's were drilled pin up and negative, like my Freeze is drilled up for State, then it wont hook.....

depends on your rev rate also.... pretty sure a nano drilled negative, sideways or even doggy style is still gona have some movement.. lolol the cover and core, dont get much stronger....
Post by: solid9proshop on April 09, 2011, 07:45:19 PM
Just leave that one alone, obviously that guy knows nothing about ball drillings or surfaces!

i bowl league there, i play the track area and ave 229. 1 hint ill give, you have to swing the ball a little to carry consistantly. i start board left of center with my feet, 13 at the arrows out to 7 at the break point & i usually score pretty well.

Park Side Lanes in Aurora.
And from what I am reading there is more oil their than down state.
It seemed to be a longer oil shot but it will dry up pretty quick and then you start chasing the shot.

Bowled yesterday and today at Pekin. The shot is not bad, just SHORT. Once it comes off the back of the pattern it is turning. Good luck to everyone still to go.

Bowled Parkside lanes today and watched Sean Rash start the day off with the first 20 strikes. So I pretty much donated all my bracket money to him. The guy was simply amazing. Looked like he was throwing a storm virtual energy and ripping the cover off of it. I Thought he was a brunswick guy????

Post by: stc067 on April 16, 2011, 07:35:34 PM
He was probably using the pearl Karma. I saw him practicing with it at Parkside a couple of weeks ago. He said he has been using Karmas almost exclusively lately.
