Storm big hit particle?
« on: June 25, 2004, 02:49:18 AM »
what type of condition is this ball for? There only $55 dollars, so it may be a good buy, but what type of condition would it be best on? Anyone thrown one yet?

It's the same kind of deal as Ebonite's Gyro particle from a couple seasons ago.  It's the modified three peice core with a particle cover.  It will handle a bit more oil than the previous Big Hit balls did and will likely be a bit smoother at the break.  

It's more of an effort to offer people who are looking to try a particle ball but at a lower price...at least if you believe the marketing material!

well first of all, this post is like a month old. I was simply curious about it. Secondly, I did need a stronger ball because some of the stuff I bowl on, its tough to get much to move. Plus, I got the ball cheap, I wanted something with more umph on the backend, so I got it.

And what do you mean "finger positions"? I've never even heard anyone say that before, what is it?

Finger Position
What he means is that you can change your reaction a little bit by positioning your little finger and or pointer finger in different places.
For example:
Pointer finger stretched out and little finger in against your ring finger will cause the ball to have slightly more axis rotation.
You can even tuck your little finger under for even more.
On the opposite side you can bring your pointer in tight and spread your little to get a little more forward roll.
I generally start with my pointer finger in between in tight and full spread and little finger in tight and make adjustments from there.
The reason I pick this position is because it is pretty much the middle (reaction) of the changes made by these finger adjustments.
I pull my pointer in tight and spread little wide for shooting spares.
Give it a try you may be surprised by the difference it makes.
If you go to Ron Clifton's site www.bowl4fun.com he has a tip about this very thing I believe he calls it "finger dancing".

Oh, yea I've known about this. I tuck my pinky to get more lift, but keep it tight against my ring finger. I stretch my pointer out away from my middle finger. When going for spares I un-tuck my pinky, and stretch it away from my ring finger and pull my pointer finger in.
