My new toys..
« on: July 31, 2014, 07:13:49 PM »
Deranged and Disturbed


These two are exactly as expected,  great duo...I'm just late to the party.

Optimus and Freak'n Frantic


The Optimus is just fun to throw...I needed more help with this layout as I failed with the marvel pearl (drilled with my favorite layout)...I modified my favorite layout just a touch and it rolls like a champ!

My frantic was too rolly, so I made this one go a Lil bit longer....

Coming soon...Wrecker #2, Zero Gravity, !Q Tour Fusion..
Christmas in July baby!

Nah, NRG is usually too much.  I guess you didn't have a marvel-s, it was too much most of the time.  And if the ball doesn't stay in the product line...it didn't do so hot, lol.

Now the marvel? That's a different story. 

Gimme some R2X solid!

I did indeed have the Marvel-S. And it is still in the product line. The only 2 balls not in the line this season that were available last year is the Reign of Power and Sync, which were each produced for roughly 16 months.

If you drilled a Marvel-S anything like the balls you provided in this thread, I can see why you think that way.

Get my Optimus tomorrow night, bill, kinda thinking I did the same thing with my Lucid that you did with your Marvel Pearl. I think I had it punched to do something it wasn't meant to do. Think I'm just gonna put a 4x4X2 on it and let it do it's thing.

I did what the Richardson did in the bowlersmart video.  Everyone else's optimus rolled like a turd in videos, everyone but richardson
And belmo videos. 

I don't mean to be a jerk, 90% of the optimus videos made the ball look bad.

The people I've found to have the most success with the Optimus were highspeed/rev players. The weaker handed people I've watched roll it had lots of over/under... When it rolls into the pocket though, it finishes extremely well.

I've seen the opposite so far. I've seen the higher speed/rev guys struggle with over under because they don't understand that hitting the cover with a pad to remove the shine will help the ball start up just a little sooner.
The lower speed and rev have had good success by me

Your layout and the one in the BowlersMart video are not the same. Unless one of you has a weird PAP. I find it hard to believe a layout like yours vs a layout like the one in the video offers the same motion. Your layout is a variation of stacked leverage, the one in the video is pin over the bridge. Again, I honestly didn't think people still used label layouts, especially you.

No offense, I just thought you were above those type of layouts.

"Those" types of layouts provide control for me, I have drilled everything there is to try...I said screw it a long time ago, and drill what I am consistent with.  I have a really slow ball speed with medium revs...symmeticals with a pin near (pin up or down) my centerline roll like turds for me, I would bring up cg....in or out but it don't matter.  I do best with no x-holes too, I guess that makes me terrible too.

This is all my older stuff when I was a Lil more experimental.  I figured out what works for me, and stuck to it.  There's no shame in my game.
