Question:


whats the scandal x out ? whats irregular on the 16 lb one ? would like to know, im interested in getting it

4/21/2016 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


Hi Willie! We are not sure what causes each individual ball to qualify as an X-Out by the manufacturer. The reason we have been given are that it could be for the following reasons: irregular weight, irregular pin placement, irregular top weight, or slight surface blemish. If there are certain weight, pin, or top weight specifications you require then you can make that request by clicking the blue button below the weight selector box. If we don't have a ball that matches your specifications then we will contact you before shipping the ball.

Answer:


Great question. Yes, the X-Out balls are approved for USBC competition. Like any other bowling balls, when this ball is drilled it has to meet USBC rule specifications.

Answer:


Hi Lowk, I wish I could. We are not sure what causes each ball to be considered an X-Out by the manufacturer. The reason given to us are that it could be for any of these issues: abnormal weight (half weights), irregular pin placement, irregular top weight, or slight surface blemish.

Question:


i throw the ball 19.0 mph plus on the 2nd arrow on right . will the scandal work for me.

10/9/2016 - By

Have an answer to this question?

Answer:


This ball should work for you on heavier oil conditions but as the lane conditions break down you may have to adjust your arrow that you use to still get this to work. Your ball speed is higher so a duller finish ball is a good option so that the ball will be able to grip and react in time. If you tried a ball that was polished to break late, it may not have enough time to hook with your ball speed.
