Title: FREE STRIKE CELL AND NOBODY WANTS IT?
Post by: Mustang Guy on April 25, 2008, 02:59:28 AM
Wow everyone!  

We put this contest together for you guys and I'm surprised only 3 video submitted.  

10 Free 2-ball Totes up for grabs and 1 person can win 3 balls and a 3 ball tote.  Not to mention being the only person in the United States to own a Strike Cell (Cell hybrid).  

Here are the videos submitted so far:

Not bad, but I want to see at least 10 everyone.  

You have 6 more days to enter!

I forget the rules to this contest, does it have to be about the Cell? I don't have one, but I have some other Rotos I could throw.

Roger,

Use my video from a couple of years ago when I made that t.v. show.

Actually I just won a scratch sport shot tournament throwing an RS-X in my area.

If it doesn't come from Team Utah.
Just leave it in the car or at home.

May be a trivial thing to some, but I haven't entered because on the off chance I actually do win the thing, I only throw light 14 pound equipment, and I want to actually enjoy the equip that I win.  Winning a 15 pound ball (or multiple 15 pound balls) does me no good other than bragging rights.

Hey Rodger, my video is loading as I speak, I'm going to try and get more clips to potentially make a better one over before the deadline but I'm posting up what I got at the least.

Graaille,

The Strike Cell is the only ball that has to be 15 since I only have 1 sitting here.  The Golden Globe, Mid Price Ball, and 3-Ball Tote are all products you could still win and the balls would be 14lb.  

I didn't want to say it, but imagine how much you could get for the Strike Cell 15lb on EBAY if you win and don't throw 15lb.  I didn't want to endorse that idea, because the concept was for our customers to win some cool merchandise.  But in your case where you don't throw 15 you could go that direction.

Best of luck!

I know that I could ebay it, or even do the buy/sell/trade here on BR.  However, the spirit of the contest is that the winner would be the first to use the ball, and the "really cool stuff" that will arrive once they come out.  As such, to win then immediately rush out to slap it on ebay just is wrong in my eyes.

Plus, the video I made probably isn't appropriate for the general population -- the RG marketing dept would probably enjoy it, but all agree that it shouldn't be endorsed by the company.  Not everyone shares my sense of style......

Thanks Pike. I shoot alot of video while practicing. It teaches you alot seeing up close exactly what different hand positions at the release do to the roll of a ball.
 I had edited that video together a while back, before the contest,and thought why not enter it and see what happens.

Well here is my vid...I went with something a little more "dramatic" LOL.  Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3cMlsqOqTQ

I hope you guys enjoy it, it was a blast making it!!!

For those that uploaded their vids to the group already, does Roger have to approve it or something before it shows up?  I uploaded mine and it says done but in the group it still just shows 6 videos.

Wow, great job everyone!  I had 6 new videos last night that were approved this morning.  

bowlingmytmouse - HILARIOUS!  If you don't win I would be surprised.  All the videos have been really good and thanks to everyone who participated!  Don't forget you still have to vote for the top 10 to see who wins the grand prize.    

15 1/2 hours to go!  Still more time to submit your videos.

Thanks,

Well done final production grasshoppa!

...I still didn't get any credit for drilling that marvelous 4 3/4" (low) pin to axis and 35 degree MB that provided that sugar sweet roll.

That's ok though.  Good luck to everyone.

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall 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.
