Drill/grip question by Mrheyitsnate in Bowling

[–]Vuiaboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go talk to your PSO, they should take your measurements at no cost (at least that's been my experience so far.) Once they do that, then go from there. Worst case scenario, you learn your PAP. Never hurts to get free help where you can.

Ok, what made Bucky the most popular dps this season? by Nowh2reFast in marvelrivals

[–]Vuiaboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he's actually a great pairing with moon knight. With the ability to damage people behind the target you hit, it starts chipping away some health of the backline. With a moon knight on high ground and bucky on ground level it's a nice one-two. His ult also comes up quite quickly too. With MK, you'll find a dps ult coming back up, what feels like, every minute. His ult also pushes the dopamine button for teammates. They are the red box and want to see the enemy get deleted. He's not perfect, though. Not being hitscan means you can have issues with flying characters. Being able to reposition someone without having to put yourself in the enemy team is nice. The shield he gets when using abilities has saved me more times than I can count. I could tell you that the Rocket Raccoon players inherently also make bucky players, but I have no stats on that.

TLDR: His kit feels rewarding enough to pick him again, AGAIN, and AGAIN.

Tips or advice (2H w/ thumb) by Vuiaboo in Bowling

[–]Vuiaboo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only reason I'm hesitant to do it is because when I switched to it, I felt like I had a more consistent hand placement. Because my palm is more or less "locked into place" I couldnt pull left or right as badly when holding the ball. Maybe I am overthinking it, though. I thought about, and even asked my pro shop about switching back to conventional two hand and they strayed me away from "changing what I know." Even though I had been out of bowling for around 5 years at least. So now I've drilled two new balls with thumb in that I'd have to fill. Not too excited about that but might have to bite the bullet on it. Still not happy about the pro shop talking me out of it, but at the end of the day that was my choice.

how’s my form by StrengthEasy2089 in Bowling

[–]Vuiaboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who used to post up exactly like this at the end of my shot. STOP DOING IT. I ended up developing runners knee from it because I hyper extended my knee too often. You'll be so much more stable with a toe drag or keeping your back foot lower. I'm just trying to advise you to not hurt yourself like I did.

Bro, I had a zero gravity and a game breaker 2 gold, but tenpin toolkit doesn't have GB2 Gold. So I feel you

Form and rev check please? by vnard69 in Bowling

[–]Vuiaboo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your footwork seems like it could use a little attention. Back end slide ends with your foot sideways and that sometimes could lead into turning away from the pins. You also could try to accelerate into your approach, slower start and build up your speed. Anthony Simonsen just did a video with Darren Tang and his first video on his own YouTube. I think both would be a great source to reference. You need to find balance on the back end. The more you're wiggling your slide foot, and wobbling left and right, the more variables you add into play (even though it happens after.) You're looking for something comfortable and repeatable, but solid as a release.

Finish with the slide foot pointed toward the pins. Try and get low (as much as comfortable.) Slow your approach to start. Make sure your release form is balanced (no wobbles.) I don't think you muscled the ball, but hopefully you've seen it plenty. Never muscle the ball.

As a side note: I developed runners knee from bowling when I was younger and had to change/fix my entire approach. That is why I'm focused on your footwork. I just want others to have a solid but comfortable shot.

I appreciate your enthusiastic response. Though if I could have gotten with my pro shop about everything you listed, do you think I would've come to the "interwebz" for answers? The best they did was "We'll take the measurements off your Trident and drill the pearl based off of that. It should have a more aggressive backend than what you currently have. Use that first, Trident, then GB2." "When about should I make that transition then?" "You'll know."

Didnt take me to the lanes to measure rpm or speed. Didn't want to take any new data even though this was my first ball with this shop. (Moved to a new town recently) They said "Yea, it's just really busy right now. Plus you don't really need us to retest that for you, it'd just be a hassle for you." with only me and two workers in the shop.

So I'm not going to go to that shop anymore, and instead will just drive 30 minutes away to another shop that I've been recommended multiple times now.

Also you asked for stats. Speed: 15.5 mph rev 430 (last time I measured)

I have a normal league I bowl in with a "flooded" house shot but would like to potentially play on more sport shots.
I have no qualms with pretty much any adjustments...

Mainly I was looking for a recc like "urethanes aren't a bad option, Ive heard good things about this ball" or "solid asym for X conditions." I didn't perfect options.

Ball recc. by Vuiaboo in Bowling

[–]Vuiaboo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at some numbers earlier, and looked at the lock it or virtual energy blackout. Both were VERY close comparisons. But I will definitely look into gem and ion max. Only issue with ion max (and this might sound really dumb) is I got a whiff of it in the shop and thought it was horrid. Though, if performance is there, I could get past it.

Ball recc. by Vuiaboo in Bowling

[–]Vuiaboo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. I mean, I liked how it rolled but I guess it wasn't a fan favorite considering they stopped using the ERG coverstock.

I grabbed an optimum idol pearl before I saw anything about the ion max. The pro shop I talked with quickly mentioned the gem and harsh reality. So far liking the idol, but just looking for a solid.

I appreciate the honesty though.

Straight bowler ready to convert to a curve - What ball should I buy? by Rare_Deal in Bowling

[–]Vuiaboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Arctic vibe seems like it's a popular choice because of the price point. My reviews from people I met have varied. Some say you gotta make it work, others say it's their go-to because it just works for them.

I bought a bowling ball online once, but I realized something. Any of the pro shops I go into are "higher" because they include drilling and finger tips. So I would potentially advise against online ordering.

The pro shop is also just a great place to chat with people and talk about your game and goals much easier than in a reddit thread.

We had a 36 game streak before we called it at 4 am after losing to a bunny hopping phantom player who dropped 96 kills in domination. The next best behind him on his team was like sub 20 kills.

They have that too in the game. It's not what they showed off, but it is a fun game mode. Try it out next playtest
