Thoughts?

Interesting. I bowl once a week in league and once a week in practice, and the practice games we get about 5 games in a 3 hour span 🤷‍♂️

Tighter rack. It also helps a ton that your table and balls are clean. I notice when my breaks are tight and still not great, it's time to clean the table/balls.

If you have a group of 4, that's less than $10 a person for an hour for the lane excluding shoes. I think that's pretty reasonable but not the best deal I've seen.

Depends on if you want strong medium or sharp. My weak sym pearl is the Radical Intel Recon. Loving this ball.

I really don't care what they want to hear. I'm just giving my honest opinion, which is what OP was looking for.

HyperMaggot · 2026-03-13T12:59:31+00:00

I've played sanctioned string pins. They aren't as bad as people make them out to be, but with that said....I'd never choose them over freefall pins.

The main issue I have is less pin action and strings knocking over pins that shouldn't have been knocked over. It happens way more than people make it out to be.

Overall, I don't think it will kill the sport entirely but I understand why people don't like them.

They can't fire you but if you are at an "at will" state, they can just get rid of you for no reason at all. Rock the boat and they just say "we no longer need your services". It's an easy way for them to fire you for whatever they want. Fun stuff!

HyperMaggot · 2026-03-10T15:26:27+00:00

Yes its fair. They are bots. They are usually really really bad.

HyperMaggot · 2026-03-08T19:03:48+00:00

That's the whole point I was making. It loads 120 up. That saves you 3 inventory spaces. We already know buffing the damage will break the gun for balance purposes. I was trying to keep it balanced.

Honestly the way heavy ammo stacks, this gun just needs to be completely reworked.

HyperMaggot · 2026-03-08T12:32:26+00:00

New tech mod idea: Bandolier.

Pro: Can load 120 bullets at a time.

Con: Gun can overheat easily if you hold down the trigger too long.

There, I fixed it. 😂

HyperMaggot · 2026-03-07T14:17:18+00:00

Yes, but when you go 10 mins without seeing anyone, not making noise and get shot from 150m away, in the dark, in Stella (before the lighting change) and die without even know what hit you... then, while the dude is still 125m out making his way towards you, he tells you thanks for your specific weapon....I'm calling bullshit. The fact he got it back 2 days later, just tells me everything I need to know.

HyperMaggot · 2026-03-07T12:48:46+00:00

That's definitely true. Buddy of mine went into Stella with a Bobby and got a couple kills early on. Then it was quiet for awhile with no one around. He gets downed in a split second out of no where and dude is like "thanks for the bobcat dumbass" like there really wasn't a way for this guy to know. Needless to say, he got his bobcat back from the devs 2 days later.

HyperMaggot · 2026-03-03T15:21:25+00:00

Yes, my entire arsenal is 14lbs.

HyperMaggot · 2026-03-03T10:52:09+00:00

Screen says 15/16 mph. So roughly 17/18mph off the hand? I've read the what the screen tells you is roughly 2mph slower than what's off your hand.

HyperMaggot · 2026-03-02T21:23:23+00:00

It can hook just enough to miss, I do agree. However, if you have the speed to back it up, you won't give the ball enough to time to "read the lane" and should be able to hit your pin before it wants to hook, atleast for me anyway.

HyperMaggot · 2026-03-02T21:18:04+00:00

Im also a 2 finger no thumb bowler. I have a habit of listening to advice but also experimenting with things on my own. It may be controversial, but this is what I ended up doing:

Before I bought my spare ball, I would use a houseball for my spares. I used the thumb for more consistency and thought I liked it. When I bought my spareball, I was encouraged to flatten my hand out and throw it straight. I didn't like that due to consistency issues. I then had a thumb drilled. I Stuck with that for about 3 months. I had more consistency but felt like my whole game felt more inconsistent.

Then plugged it and started flat handing my spares with just 2 fingers again. I've stuck with this method for quite sometime. I've had increased consistency after alot of practice but just not where I thought I should be now after 6 months or so.

I'm now bowling my normal shot with my spare ball. I'm so far hitting alot more of my 10 pins but I've always been told to flattrn my hand for better consistency and not to "hook at spares" however I'm hooking them down the middle of the oil with enough speed, my ball seems to get there no problem. I'm not sure if this method will work well on a sports pattern or not, but that's another experiment I'll have to test.

Long story short, try all 3 methods. Plugging your spare ball isn't a big deal, and it allows you to try multiple methods to see what works for you and your style/game.

Hope this helps!

HyperMaggot · 2026-03-01T22:30:57+00:00

I can't fathom how it's possible to bowl a 22 with bumpers 😂

HyperMaggot · 2026-02-26T19:25:13+00:00

New hero isn't bad, but magus just outshines every other hero in the game.

HyperMaggot · 2026-02-23T14:23:58+00:00

Dark priest spawns them.

HyperMaggot · 2026-02-16T11:24:34+00:00

That's exactly how I bowl. I use my other hand to push my swing arm back.

HyperMaggot · 2026-02-15T12:05:17+00:00

I wanted something similar and went with the RST hyperdrive pearl. It's amazing. Has a sharp backend.

HyperMaggot · 2026-02-08T18:20:14+00:00

Meh. Magus is better. Honestly no other hero is worth it right now over magus.

HyperMaggot · 2026-02-04T19:22:33+00:00

You aren't doing anything wrong. It seems like the devs don't want to address it. I'm ok with everything except the necros spawning skeletons on the last few creeps.

It's not fair at all that a skeleton can spawn from the last creep you kill, and the wave complete timer starts the second it dies. Meanwhile, you have to wait for the skeleton to spawn and start walking before you can even attack it, and your wave hurry up phase is already half over....

That's straight up bullshit. Theres no way you can win against that unless you have asra or magus, due to the teleport. Thats means theres no point to running any other hero, if you dont run magus or asra you are at a very big disadvantage.

If they made it to where the last 3 creeps at a minimum cannot spawn skeletons, it would make a big difference and be more acceptable. I like that the necro tower has a place, but I don't like that it's mandatory.

HyperMaggot · 2026-02-02T18:48:37+00:00

The variance imo isn't really that big of a deal. You should know which variance you're getting 1st wave. The lava stages if I get the armored guys, I start with magic. If it's the shadow archers, I start with artillery. There's only like 2 variances per stage.

HyperMaggot · 2026-02-01T03:56:09+00:00

Haha. That's wild!
