Bought this on eBay so I wanna make sure it’s legit, the quality is just so bad lmao. I totally get since it’s their first ever cd they put out that the quality wouldn’t be great but don’t wanna get scammed
How is my fit? I have a hard time staying behind the ball and my thumb doesn't always clear. I also feel like all the weight is pressing on the base of my thumb and have a gnarly callous there and the area gets tender after a few games. I'm not sure if its me or the fit
I made some people mad on tiktok because they thought I was trying to claim to be Die Spitz' biggest fan (I'm their 10th biggest fan😉). Never said that I was, I totally get that some of you have been listening to them for years and have seen them live 10 times and met them. But here is my proof of how much I love Die Spitz, I started listening to them 8/10/25 and was their top 10th listener on spotify for all of 2025.
My boyfriend got an ocean vibe drilled today and this was the layout they went with. Never seen the pin in between the fingers like this
I have a Track Cyborg that I really like but at this point it has 100's of games on it and I know it won't last much longer especially since it spent 7 years in my shed and was already cracked in the finger bridge before I got it plugged and redrilled. I want to look at a ball that will replace it but not sure which would be a good replacement. I'd like to stick with Hammer or Track but will take any suggestions for balls that are still being sold
Thanks!
I've just come back to bowling 2 months ago after a 7 year break and just recently got a new ball drilled and I feel like my fit is off (as well as in my previous balls). I went to the same proshop as before and my fit is identical to my old one, the only change is I have smaller finger grips since I lost weight. Looking at my fit I feel like my palm comes way too far off the ball, you can see tension in my hand without me even holding up the ball or being in my swing. When I take my interchangeable thumb out and put my thumb in the hole the way it would go naturally it goes more left and my palm looks way more relaxed. I'm wondering if I need more left lateral pitch to fix this? I've always struggled with my release, I have a bad habit of gripping and coming around the ball which I know is partially a me issue, but I wonder how much of it is my fit. Now since coming back I also deal with bad thumb pain on the inside of my thumb for the first 5-6 balls I throw and my right thumb is almost twice the size of my left. I also deal with pain on the outside of my wrist. I mentioned all these issues to the women who I went to but she just drilled my ball the same as my previous ones.
Why are some of my balls with interchangeable thumbs harder to lock into place and remove than others? All my interchangeable thumbs are 7+ years old at this point since I just got back into bowling and I have 2 turbos and 2 ultimate thumbs. One of my balls has the turbo system and one the ultimate and I have to use the tool in order to secure it and to remove it but my spare ball which has the ultimate system and one of my strike balls with the turbo I can secure it and remove it with my thumb. It becomes quite annoying when I am having to switch my spare ball and strike balls back and forth every other frame using the tool instead of just my thumb. I plan on having all my balls changed to turbo in a few months but I don't have the money at the moment. Does jopo have this issue? Is there a fix without ruining the integrity of the system?
I am just over 2 months back into bowling after a 7 year break. I am a low rev stroker player but I can definitely get fair amount of hook on the ball I just find it a lot harder to control. Right now, the balls that I am throwing that are legal (all of them had weight holes so I had to get them filled) are Radical Katana Slash, Track Cyborg, and PBA Skill 3.02 ball +spare ball. Personally, I love the 3.02 ball and even though it's practically a spare ball I can actually get a fair bit of motion on the ball. I want something that feels similar to that but that has a bit more hook. I am mostly debating between the bubblegum vibe and the raw but I just feel like the raw may be too close to the 3.02 in terms of hook. I was also thinking maybe the radical revenge pearl since its like right in-between the raw and vibe, but I personally want to throw hammer. I spent most of my HS bowling career throwing radical since Mo was a coach of mine but I want to stay away from Radical.
