Depth Charge is unreal . .
« on: January 03, 2006, 11:57:19 PM »
Back 18 last set of the week, same house, first league of the week last night, front 9 . .  Second game, front 7 . .  I've had the ball for two weeks, and my sets have been: 703, 733, 692, 755, 737 and 744.  I've had a 300 and a 280 with it already.  I'd been throwing an X-Factor and having pretty good success, but this thing just strikes night in and night out.  Doesn't QUITE hook as much as I'd like, but man it's so comfortable to throw because it doesn't overreact.  Nice smooth strong arc.  Unbelievable ball.

Nice shootin' Hammy, but......the above quote doesn't make sense to me.

If it's comfortable....why would you want it hook more ?!?

Early on I've got to throw it slower, and when the track starts to burn, it can give me a few problems.  Then when I go to move left, it doesn't quite come up.  The first 6 frames of my last game of my first set last night were horrendous, I had to get the back 6 for 215.  After the front 9 last night, the ball never came up on the 10th shot and left me a 2-8-10.  I took the surface down from 1500 to 1200 polish, and that helps a little, but not too much.  I usually have a great first game (if I can carry), I settle in on my 2nd game, and the 3rd game is hit or miss, but I still at least hit a low 200 if nothing else.  HOWEVER, it makes it very easy to throw because I don't have to really hit up on it to get it to move early on, so when the track burn sets in, I just have to bump my speed up a little.  But with my X-Factor, I could start off at normal speed, and when the burn set in, it'd just start moving a little earlier, but still would hold line, and that was my clue to move.  Once I drill this Strike Zone, I'll probably use it the first game and burn a path for my Depth Charge, use it until I need to move left, and then go back to the Strike Zone if I need to.  I don't usually have to move much on Thursdays because my teammates are different and only one of them plays the same area I do.  Tuesday early I have 3 teammates that play where I do.
