Woohoo .. Seismic board FTW!

Only 5th poster on our own board though, lol. =[

Yup, Seismic is fine BR-TECH, thx.

Ryan, how's Greece? For anyone interested, Ryan is in Greece, bowling in the European Championships for Individuals, armed with the Solaris, Requiem, and Epicenter. It's a competition for the National Champions of each country in Europe, so the competition's pretty stiff.

I'm bowling league tonight with what will probably be the release version of the Desperado. This one has a final tweak to the core. I tested a slightly lower rg one last week, and strung many, many strikes with it! I'll be the only one using Urethane tonight, so i'll let you know how it goes!

6 pack
  3 balls I think, solaris(gold/brown pearl), requiem(red/blk solid), epicenter(purple silver/pearl).. they are supposedly working on/coming out with a 4th ball that is sorta like a urethane(weaker cover) with a stronger core.. have not seen this one yet though..

so if you had to compare Seismic's general ball reaction to another,who would it be? I.E. 900 G,Storm,Brunswick etc.etc.
 I know this is a very vague question but just trying to get a idea of the general characteristics of Seismic's typical reaction.

If you follow the link in my sig to the website, you'll find a couple of videos. Our current line-up are fairly strong .. Requiem will handle most oil, with the Epicenter and Solaris pearls slotted in below. Epicenter give more potential for angle, while the both Solaris ball are smoother rolling, offereing even torque throughout the lane. The Desperado is the next release.

DW: How was the desperado last night? That could be an investment...

And Ryan, keep up the scoring in Greece! What did you throw on the short?

Great to see Seismic has it's own board now. Congrats!

Solaris worked great for me all summer on a sport pattern.
Epicenter is destroying our THS.

Anything a little weaker in the works?

Ok first of all dave its the ECC, European Champions Cup, not the ECI

Greece is great but way to warm.. The patterns are not difficult if you play tme right.. Right now I am sitting 4th after all the men have palyed the short pattern.. I'm 254 over for 8 so that gives an idea of the scoring pace! Was 2nd in my squad behind Larson but 2 guys (Belgium and Latvia) tore the lanes apart today, with Nico averaging about 248..

I'm preety happy so far though as short is usually my weaker pattern.. I was throwing urethane btw!

still don't know why InSite, Banger and Dynothane are still on this board along with Fabal,  


Maybe because it makes a nice reference section for those who purchase a NIB or used one up sometime later?  For the same reasons why when a company changes ownership that the old companies balls are not deleted from this site?  In fact, that last action I mentioned would save more space on this site than deleting the few that were made by the others, but I would not advocate doing that either.

Very promising! Even though the ball i was throwing was drilling for Ryan i threw plenty of strikes. What i noticed most was the incredible forgivness that the urethane gave, because when i leaked it right it never jumped through the nose, left and it held brilliantly and it never rolled out so carry power was great. I can't wait to get the production one drilled for me. =D

I always pick the wrong name, ECI is more descriptive, they should change it back!

Is Martin Larsen using his Seismic gear?

The last ECI was 2005, it was ECC from 2006 :-p

Ryan, just been watching the scores on the long pattern...keep the scores coming, it's great to see you up there! What you throwing? And as for the warmth...this is where the hand held fans come in handy.

DW: When's it out? I'm getting kind of bored of throwing my spare ball at the moment as I don't have anything to fill the gap between that and my Brunswick Avalanche...

I'm not in direct contact with Global, thats Ryan's job, so i'm not sure where they've worked us into the pouring schedule, but i believe it'll be the end of next month. Don't quote me on that though.

If you're playing short patterns, burnt pattern, or extreme wet dry on a regular basis then you should like this. For me as a low pace/rev dominant player its the most exciting ball i've seen in a while! =D
