Everybody wants to know what is being drilled. Now you can see for yourself.

Brad Angelo used the Absolute Inferno. He decided to commit to firmer speed. Fortunately we drilled this ball last week.

Brad's comments-Rick laid it out for the 43 foot pattern and it worked on the 35. Nice job Rick.

Rick's comments-Well if you had seen Brad's arsenal you  would have drilled it too.

Tom Baker used an Absolute Inferno in the morning.

Tom's comment It didn't work the first two games then the oil carried down and I needed something to turn the corner this ball gave me the strong smooth arc I was looking for. I only had to move 2 or 3 boards once I got into this ball.

Rick's comments-Tom do you ever say anything different? Every bowler seems to want their ball to turn the corner harder. Try smoother it works better longer. Pull out the Strike Zone or Ultimate until the oil gets down the lane.

Well Nathan what do you have to say about your ball choices?
Nathan's comments-The ball made me throw it bad. My hand was in the wrong position the whole morning. I found out in the practice session I had after the block, it was not the ball. I sucked! Look for a rebound next round.

Rick's comments-It is true professional bowlers do bowl bad. The simple hand change will help him make better shots and ball choices.

Mike Fagan- Mike started with the Punisher for the first game until the oil got down the lane and then made the switch to the Absolute cover. Michael made a big move late so we have some work to do on the fresh. We will try a Strike Zone with a smoother layout or a stronger punisher. Don't forget Michael's axis point is 3 1/2 over and 1 1/2 up The layouts in these pictures are not as week as they look.

Mika comments- I threw the red ball because two other guys on the pair chose red. I never had to change balls but I should have moved in and started hooking it earlier. I still like the Blazing.

Great Mika use the old stuff that nobody can get.

There could be more oil down lane this evening so Mika may not have as good a look but he has plenty of room to go with other balls in his bag.

The lanes hooked more today and I was able to smooth out the over hook with this layout. The cover-stock always works.

Rick Steelsmith-

I started with the Ambush and had just what I needed to stay further right early and when that ball was not enough down lane I switched to the Vapor Zone. It was the perfect combination. I need something for the late games though.

OK Rick I will drill an absolute with the pin high at 5 inches and a big hole on the axis so you can stay in the wedge I expect there to be tonight. If that doesn't work we should take one of your other Absolute's and get the surface right. I suggest 2000 Aberlon pad.
