the Machine still has "Power"
« on: July 19, 2016, 12:37:05 PM »
I still have a Power Machine that is in excellent shape,but it's a 16lb. I retired it about 6 years ago when I switched to 15 lb. I had 3 of these because they were so good. I never got rid of this one. I just decided to give it a shot the other night in a local weekly tourney. I shot ok, 707 with a 278, got fast and pulled one shot. What the the biggest surprise to me was how well this ball rolled and hit! It was like I had a new ball.  Now I kinda miss that 16 lb hit. Was it a coincidence?  Maybe it was the ball and 16 lb combo. I'm not sure, but I really liked it, again. I know I can't use 16's on a regular basis anymore because I don't want to mess up my wrist. But what I do know is I now have a secret weapon in my bag if I need it for a game or two.  ;)

Always fun to dig past nuggets out of the closet and dust them off and give them a workout.

Busted out my Rogue cell (2009) and I havent shot less than 254 for three weeks at my trouble center (where I average the lowest)

Great ball. They're due for something like that ...even though we got the critical..
In the bag [Infinite Physix, Volatility Torque, Night Road, Phaze III, Burner Solid, Hustle AU]
*Now Testing* IQ Ruby, Renevant, another IQ Tour solid
Coming soon...???

I still carry my Clutch Pearl with me, and the ball is one of the best Pearl balls I've ever had. Circa 2010 baby!

I felt that way about my AMF Solar Flare pearl ( best pearl ever for me at OOB) circa 2013, until it cracked all the way around last year.

I have a nib waiting to be drilled. Never threw one. Heck, still haven't picked up my Torch yet.
