Frankie May WOW !!
« on: February 08, 2008, 03:39:05 AM »
I havent used my FM very much. Well last night i during warm up i was leaving alot of corner pins with my SS. So i decided to try out ole FM .
I couldnt believe just how strong this ball is. On a fresh THS with med dry back ends i had to start out playing 25 to 5 and it was recovering with ease some shots where high flush but still carried.
as the game went on i had to move left standing against the ball return on the right lane and play the whole lane and this ball just kept coming like a train.
1 of my team mates bowls for Ebonite ,He was using the Complete NV and the frankie may was out hooking a good bit.
1st- 257
2nd 246- open in the 8th
3rd- 267

Last game i HAd to make a change ,went to the Immortal Pearl and moved back close to where i started and didnt miss the pocket .

finished with a nice 770 should have been 800 but i blew by a 10 in the 8th frame game 2

The moral to the story is the Frankie May  is a very strong ball with great carry.

Congratulations on your 770 series.  Nice bowling.

I've had my FM sitting around for a few years now, never could get a good reaction with it even with surface changes.  Two weeks ago had it redrilled and like the reaction and carry I am getting now.  Playing with surface to see what works best.

I drilled mine pin below bridge , cg under ring finger and small x hole in the thumb quadrant. I first had polished it @ 1000 and didnt like the reaction so i took off the polish with 1000 abarlon and now its awesome.
