@TheHockeywinner I've gotten to throw some more games with it now and it seems like as long as you hit it light or flush in the pocket you'll avoid all those tenpins. Hitting it just between light and a perfect pocket hit can be dicey, which you see quite a few times in this video. I left three 7-10's hitting that spot the other day.
Pretty sure I have a similar rev rate and speed to John, and I wish I could get my 2furious back from that angle. Mine was drilled so weak, I have to throw it at the three pin from outside, any kind of throw that goes slightly right (or even straight) has no chance. Getting it plugged and redrilled now that I've tried messing with the surface, hope I can finally have a ball I can throw right into the track area and actually hit the head pin.
hello. i currently have a virtual gravity and a slingshot. my virtual gravity is just too aggressive and my slingshot is great. I was wondering if this ball would be a little less aggressive and jumpy as the VG. I am also looking at the natural because i am in need of a urethane ball. I play almost exactly where tony throws it just throwing about 7-8 boards to the right. whats your opinion?
btw i am a tweener and i have about a 17mph ball speed and approximately 340 revs
@iownu1324 this ball would be great. i own this ball with a similar style to yours, and it fits in between my invasion and tropical heat. even though its in the thunder line, this ball HOOKS! this ball, with the same layout as my invasion, is only 4 boards less. if you want a little less, i would go with the victory road, even though its pearl, or if you will use another brand, the Columbia 300 World Beater is a very good ball. i have had 2 300 games with it, and im only 13. or a C300 OutBurst.
dude Rucco's clearly the best of everyone they've ever filmed. You put all of them on a sport shot and not just a house shot and rucco will win hands down. Not to say everyone else is bad there all good bowlers Rucco is just better
@punkglitch You are correct. He was taught by one of the best in the industry. He is very precise and accurate. He may not be a big cranker, but he is very smooth and deliberate in his approach. Always cool and calm, which is important to bowl well.
@johncongdon1976 I agree I like the way he plays the lanes it is very similar to my game. He has a much smoother release then I do though. It would be interesting to see a big time cranker in the comparison in one of your videos
Why do you always use 28-29 units for the storm balls but only 22-23 for every other manufacturer. Balls like the bank, time bomb, RipR, etc. would look a lot better if there was enough oil to get the most out of them. Why special treatment for the storm equipment?
@Tywithay We have tried varying the oil only a couple of times. We have been pretty settled on the test condition for a while now. Thank you for paying attention to that. We are going to try and keep everything tested on the same pattern so that you can compare apples to apples.
I absolutely loathe the way Tony Ruocco throws the ball. The extra bouncing and arm swings? Seriously?? That's probably why he wears a brace on every arm and leg. Give it up man.
@cmclean300 Actually, the bouncing and arm swings is a consistency thing and not what led to him needing braces. Read my earlier post, he is an awesome bowler. Watch his balance at the finish position, very rarely will you see him fall off his shot.
@johncongdon1976 Hey John :D You've really improved! Keep it up! :D I think you'll do fine the way you are now. But if you can change, why not? Its all for the better! Anyway, you've done a really great job (: I look at the older videos and I compare it with newer videos and I go "Woah. Is that still John? O.o" :D KEEP IT UP! :D
DONT BUY THIS SHIT! IT LEAVES MORE TENPINS THAN ANY OTHER BALL ON THE MARKET!

@WatchmenBowlingTeam Thank you, haven't lost much weight. A few pounds. I think it's the slacks... :)
I appreciate all the comments about my better bowling. I am continually improving, which isn't always easy. Getting older makes change harder. :-(
