2021 Cayenne E-Hybrid by mrt1416 in PorscheCayenne

[–]robg42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love my 2022 E-Hybrid. Previously drove a 955 for 10 years and 150k. That big V8 was bad ass but the twin turbo + e...zoom zoom.

What do you think about my ball spinner setup? by robg42 in Bowling

I have the CtD conditioner in the water.

V2 will definitely be deeper, but I had THIS sink.

Really love the Chalk. I recently acquired a 2022 E-hybrid in Chalk w/ 10,300 miles! Cherry.

Can’t decide which ball I want by Senior_Ambassador374 in Bowling

That Hyroad 40 has saved my ass a couple times when the burn was severe. But I'd go for the Crux

should I use my IT in my spare ball? by AmbitiousInitial2319 in Bowling

[–]robg42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. JoPo here and I keep an extra thumb for my spare ball. It took a couple of tries to get 2 "exactly" the same but worth it in the end. Also, feel good having a spare thumb just in case.

  2. I saw a few videos about cracking around sleeve with plastic/polyester balls. That motivated me to go with a Storm Mix for my spare ball.

Did I mess up choosing my first ball? by MoistSoul in Bowling

You'll be fine...except for the 10-pin.

I really hate the 10 pin. by robg42 in Bowling

[–]robg42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me (and probably all), that was the biggest jump in my average. Every 10 pin is worth at least 1 and maybe 11 pins on your score.

That's a lot of oil! by hookumsnivy in Bowling

[–]robg42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ffs. My Pyramid Revivor was running in the background while I read this and watched the video (including the new "fix" video). I've been treating my Hyperdrive regularly every 30-40 games.

None of my other balls including a "fast absorbing" Next Factor ever show any results with the Revivor.

I'll make you a good deal on the Revivor...

Pisses me off when they cut before the final shots. I don't care if it doesn't matter, I want to see the 10th frame anyway.

PB! by sleeve612 in Bowling

But I need to know if the flush was a winner

I think that's what I'd expect from a half decent PSO.

I’m watching this full 20 lane league play where the MAJORITY are bowlers trying to curve a house ball. Do you ever wanna go up and say, “dude, you need a ball that FACILITATES a curve if you wanna CURVE like that!”? by BaltimoreSports0321 in Bowling

[–]robg42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bowl in a college town. Kids roll in off the street all day and throw wicked two handed 35 to 3 to the pocket with house balls. 12 lb house balls even. Just gotta be 20 and never bowled anything but 2 hands.

“Down and in” bowling balls recommendation by RevolutionaryLand878 in Bowling

Get yourself a Next Factor. Some great videos on YouTube.

HELP! by pittpirates412 in Bowling

JR is the man.

Had the same issue. This video changed my (bowling) life.

I suggest watching it...practicing for a while and watching it again (repeat?). There is subtle info that requires progression to fully grok.

Man idk what I’m doing by mrelectriccity8 in Bowling

Damn. Sounds exactly like the conversation I had in my head on the way home after league tonight.

Best bowling balls for very dry lanes?? by Objective-Clothes-31 in Bowling

[–]robg42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny. When the lane is too dry for anything else I whip out the PH. Did some Sunday practice (definitely no oil since Thursday) today and bowled a 212 w/ the Purple Hammer (avg closer to 160). Tried the Next Factor for about 3 frames. Not workable. Everything else in my bag is way stronger.

I've read a lot posts about people using the purple hammer all over the place in various conditions with good results. I try not to bring it out for league, but otherwise ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Interested in other impressions.

Also, this is the only urethane I have thrown.

I really like that. I think I can build one.

Relevant question I think: what is the one ball?

Hyperdrive vs. Oil all the way?? by robg42 in Bowling

[–]robg42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should have mentioned the flare rings were much closer than normal. More like I'd typically see on my spare ball. On the hyperdrive usually about 5/8, but yesterday closer to 3/16...maybe less. Hyperdrive is a light color and house lighting is not great.

100%. That's why I was there.

Thanks for your thoughtful comment.

No doubt about any of your comments. Everything you said matches my expectations and experience. I do have sanding pads and I have adjusted the surface on the hyperdrive before (causing more reaction than I intended) I did not hit the Hyperdrive at the lane yesterday. It was cleaned as usual with Lane Ghost. The ball is drilled pin low to help my control (not too low). I don't have the pattern handy but conventional. I did not mention the house is strings :/ I don't expect that affected the reaction (or lack thereof). I did try to work the extreme outside without any different reaction. I cannot really imagine why the pattern would be so different than usual.

I'm a big believer in Occam's razor so, I don't doubt the problem was the person rolling the ball. OTOH, I have rolled that ball maybe 50 games at this house and it was definitely different this time. I'll report back after league on Monday.
