I pre-ordered this as soon as I heard they were releasing it. I've got the OG on my shelf, it was my first 700 ball, 1st 279, 1st 289. A ton of great memories with it.
That's exactly why Hammer needs to hit a home run with this ball. They're not just selling a bowling ball. They're selling memories and nostalgia. If that type of ball flops, customers are much more likely to get pissed off about it.
@@JeffTeachesBowling Speaking of chunks I remember a guy I was bowling against in a tournament had chunk taken out of his 3D Maxxx. Favorite ball in his bag, on his way to making the cut.
Just drilled this ball last night and I have the same thoughts. It’s just a tad too dull. BUT I think I’m going to let it lane shine a bit before I adjust the surface to see how it does. I like that it gives me lots of miss room. It smokes the pocket when it gets there but not a lot of messengers, so I think it’s definitely burning some energy downlane. Maybe I’ll make a video.
That's what I did. As I mentioned in the video, it hooks about 2-3 boards less after you get a few shots on it (a good thing in my opinion). I put a couple of games on it and it worked fine, but I decided it was still a bit more cover than I wanted it to be. Maybe I'm just looking for a replica instead of a new update. 😁
@@JeffTeachesBowling You should give it a shot on something you have laying around. Different effect than polish. It gives a tacky feel, that lasts a while. I also apply it by hand.
As a two-hander you probably would rarely, if ever, need something stronger than this, so I completely agree. This could be a great "top of the arsenal" ball for that style.
@@JeffTeachesBowling that’s exactly what i was thinking! perfect for top of the bag while most solid (or sanded) asyms are too much for 2 handers. i was borrowing my grandpas original 3d offset for a few moths and fell in love with it

Hahahaha Superflip Off Set you're begging but they should do just that but make it Green lol nice video Jeff
Wow! You are a prophet a la Offset Attack! Do you get residuals for this IP and sharing a great idea?!
haha i wish, i guess I just think like a good marketer!
My dad bought me this ball when I was 13. Still have it. This is my G.O.A.T ball
Mine too, for sure. This ball got me a good chunk of change at a lot of tournaments!

I'd love to see them recreate the super flip offset. That was my favorite ball.
It was great! I loved mine also!
I threw 3 300's with this gem.

I use compound on my Pearl balls, with good results. I wonder how it would react on this one?
Not sure, I haven't used compound to shine a ball in a long time.

I've been looking for something to replace my Track 715c. I think with a little surface manipulation, it would be a good replacement
That sounds like a pretty good fit to me also.
My 3d offset will get polish on it need the same look as 3d tour offset
Man, you still got a original 3D offset? Wowwww!
I shot 720 in league with it 3 weeks ago 😂😂
@@JeffTeachesBowling Whoa!
too dull? that sounds like what i need! as a 2 hander this will be a great strong ball

@@JeffTeachesBowling I stil got og 3d offset new in box never drill was my 1st 300 ball a core was cracked was my only ball I tossed
@@JeffTeachesBowling a shot 300 299 with 3d tour offset
@@vincentorobono691 My brother would kill for a Tour Offset. He loved that thing.
Rolled this in high school... Probably the only ball that's dragging me away from Motiv
You gotta do what you gotta do hahahaha 😁😁😁
Hi
Whats the diffrence between the old and the new.
Alex
The new one hooks more, hooks earlier and is a bit rounder in the shape it makes on the lane.
Ok
You should hit it with a 5000 pad
For my ball speed, 5000 is probably a bit too much. I rarely ever go to 4000, actually.
Ball looks like a motiv boat anchor
3000 abralon = 4700 which is lane shined.
