Title: Desperado First thoughts
Post by: mainzer on December 14, 2009, 01:58:30 AM
SPECS: Drilled pin over Ring, for pics look at Dave300 pics of the Desperado I bought it from him just moved the thumb slightly to make it my span. Very Slight polish



CHILTON:Modified Cheetah same length with a heavier volume so it holds up during the tourney. Couldnt get a look with my usual suspects, went to the Desperado Slowed up the speed and played a small swing in the drier portion of the lane, 17 out to 12 or so and had a great look. Desperado actually got me back into the cut line, the last game I made bad choices and didnt fix it fast enough.

Ball jumped off the dry not as hard as Resin but more than a normal urethane. It was forgiving on misses left and right. Hit like a Freight train. Also the continuation is amazing just keeps rolling all the way through the deck.

OVERALL: I like the ball, it gives me a new Dimension on sorter dry patterns when my ball speed and hand sometimes hinder my ability, instead of breaking my wrist I just go to this and I can stay more in my comfort zone. It has good movement as long as I remeber to through it like Urethane NOT like a Reactive ball, good hitting power and a spot in my bag for quite awhile.

Ummm .. I'm not sure who you bought it off, but mine's still in the back of my car! lol

Glad it's brought something to your arsenal though. =)

What do you do differently between the 2 types?  Thanks.


That was typed poorly I am sorry.  I tone my speed down a bit throwing my normal speed turns any urethane ball into nothing but a glorified plastic ball. I also face up on my targets tend to go straighter, square up my shoulders instead of opening them.

Mainzer,

I do the same with urethane... I only ever play from the right, and straight up the boards... if I feel i need to get deeper I gernally just use a weak reactive.

Dave is able to play deeper with the Desperado though, more like you would use a reactive ball generally... if you watch the video on the website both styles can be seen..
