I couldn't agree more Eric. Time to work on the physical aspects and bowling technique...gain some ball speed rather than trying to cut down on total hook by using urethane with slow ball speed. Entry level resin should help.MegaMav wrote:Its a plague alright.
It also shares the same color as one of the most infamous plaque strains.
I realize this thread is popular on here, but dont you guys think this is getting ridiculous?
Micro analyzing a vanilla cover with different core shapes.
I just shrug at it. Its the early 90s all over again.
Seems like a huge waste of time to me. Carry on.
First off, this is a urethane ball thread, so no resin trolls please.bowl1820 wrote:Okay here's my reaction video of Pyramid Bowling's New Pathogen Plague urethane bowling ball.

After two years, yes the grips should be replaced. The main problem isn't the glue releasing, you can cure that with a couple of small drops of super glue. The problem is that the gripping surface of the grips has probably been worn away enough that the spans have changed. -- JohnPThe glue or whatever that is in the finger grips is coming loose. I got that ball like 2 years ago and haven't done anything to the tips since then. I think you have to fix them every few months or something?
This is a weak reactive designed to be smooth downlane.krava wrote:So the Fanatic BTU isn't urethane?

"The steel Fanatic BTU features the Low Differential I-Block core matched with our new low friction BTU coverstock formulation to produce “urethane” ball motion with improved consistency and enhanced hitting power on high friction lane conditions."

that one says it is
So If I use this ball, it isn't urethane and won't mess the lane pattern up? This ball is probably similar to like a Storm tropical heat but this will start a lot sooner then that?
Note: All bowling balls "mess" the lane pattern up, whether it's Particle, Resin, Urethane, Plastic etc. They just change it in different ways.krava wrote: If I use this ball, it isn't urethane and won't mess the lane pattern up?
Suggestion: Don't buy a ball if you have no clear cut need for it or don't know what it's needed/used for.I have a Brunswick BTU that I spent like $200 on and haven't used it at all in a league. I certainly haven't used it since I finally figured out how to throw the ball correctly about 2-3 months ago.
Oh great, now you tell us this! Where was this advice for me 30 balls ago?bowl1820 wrote: Suggestion: Don't buy a ball if you have no clear cut need for it or don't know what it's needed/used for.
Too many bowlers buy balls just because they hear "it's a great ball" and figure they must need one too.
Well, you got some big hand buddy!jimmydanny wrote:Here is the 900 Global Shadow Ops on a fresh 44 foot 24ml pattern:
This ball is a beast in my eyes! Give it a little and it moves little, give it a lot, and for a urethane.. DANG! this thing moves a lot!
EDIT: 44 foot 24ml 3.3:1 pattern
I played it down 7th board, and it acted like a regular urethane, except it snapped more in the back than a regular urethane would. I guess the amount of reative resin in the mix (20%) and the insane core does its part to achieve this.Nord wrote: Well, you got some big hand buddy!
I think you could get plastic to move.
But, that said, this ball really hooks.
I would like to see a straight, down and in shot, up second arrow, or slightly right of second arrow, to see how the ball holds a line and arcs in.
An old school urethane shot.
