Storm Hot Rod Hybrid Bowling Ball

Storm v power, Bowling Ball

Advantages: Not as expensive as the USA versions
Disadvantages: Too fierce for dry lanes

Technical Specifications Coverstock: Aggressive Solid Reactive Weight Block: Inverted RAD3 Finish: 1000-grit Smooth Logos: Gyration: 2.52 Differential: 0.055 Durometer: 74-76 Track Flare: 6" plus Length: 5 Backend: 9 The X-Factor V-Power is a limited release overseas version of the X-FActor Triple Xtreme, with a Strong, Solid Reactive, coverstock. This is a very good ball for medium to heavy oiled lanes. You can adjust this ball to suit your style. I have left mine sanded to 1000 (factory finish) or you can go for the polished finish which will make the ball go longer on oily lanes. If your lanes are very dry forget this ball as it will start gripping the lane early on and you will miss your target by a fair distance. I have been using this ball at Tolworth for a few sessions now and had a fairly good outcome. The ball seems to ...

Hot Rod - try not to wet yourself!

Advantages: Hilariously stupid, no sex, fun for all the family
Disadvantages: It's only 88 mins long

I've just been to see my brother who's just got back in the country the other day having been out to Dubai on business.  We said the usual 'hellos' and what-not but then he asks me if I've seen a film called 'Hot Rod'.  Apparently he watched it on the plane back to the UK, thought it was fantastic and asked if I wanted to watch it now.  You've got to bear in mind that by watching the film we would have missed the football on TV so the film must have been a cut above the rest! It was.  The story is the usual american mr. nobody comes good formula but where this differs is that whenever it appears that it is going to get disgustingly saccharin it side-swipes you and makes you laugh your pants off.  When you realise that it was written by Pam Brady (who? I hear you cry) it is understandable why the sickly-sweet niceness that can often ...

Rod Kimble, Stuntman Extraordinaire!

Advantages: Zany, quite amusing and entertaining, pretty good casting
Disadvantages: A bit too daft or cheesy for some perhaps

- Introduction - I read about Hot Rod on Amazon and though I'd never heard of it before, I saw that it got good user reviews and was apparently a very funny slapstick movie about a stuntman, which sounded interesting, so I thought I'd add it to my rental list and I watched it last night. This is what its about and what I thought of it. - Main Credits (non-actors, which are mentioned further on in the review) - Source:- IMDB (see:- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0787475/fullcredits) Director - Akiva Schaffer Writer - Pam Brady Associate producer - Erin David Co-Producers - Seth Myers, Louise Rosner Executive Producers - Will Ferrell, Jill Sobel Messick, Jimmy Miller Producer - John Goldwyn, Lorne Michaels Cinematography - Andrew Dunn - Story (incl. main acting cast) - Hot Rod tells the story of Rod Kimble (played ...
