Must have been that Carl Edwards driving the wheels off of the 99 car. Gotta like that kid. He's great and an aswesome choice to take over where Mark Martin will leave off.

As for the bowling, well I can't help you there Sam. Maybe bowl a little less, like one or two leagues less.

Dave & Terri

I like that kid!
Man was I impressed the way he drove that car,even sideways

I did do good only 700 points this week but 6 others did worse than I.
I you are not playing it Dave go to http://www.1069thefox.com/ and sign up,its free and you can win tickets to the Richmond Races. Banner on Left side Arlos Fantsy Racing.

114-204-200=518

I was finally able to pick up some spares and not suffer from splits in the last 2 games. Not bad for someone with a 142 average!

Dave & Terri

179-106-150=435

Best of all, I did it without the black jeans! I wore blue jeans instead!

Splits..leave a 4-7-10 adjust and leave a 6-7-10,buty the ball in the pocket and leave a 4-9 or a 6-8..and this is with any ball I use!

148-194-155,,I give up this is 3 400 sets in a row

Sounds like you are bowling like I normally do! It's just a bad week. You are going to shake it. We all hit slumps. Heck, my usual game is what most peopel would call a slump!

Heck, Sam, I'd kill to see my name on a sign in the bowling alley that doesn't have the heading "Banned from this Bowling Alley for impersonating a Bowler!"

Here is my advise...... like you need it... Relax, and throw the damn ball!!!! LOL Thats what I tell my team when they are struggling. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.

Dave, I have learned that its not about the power you put into it, its about how consistent you can throw the ball in your release. If you can do the same thing most of the time, I bet you can be 550 or better.

Greg, are you throwing a straight ball, or hooking the lights out of it like the rest of us goofs?????

My lead off ball is an Ebonite Vortex V2. I mainly throw straight, but I'm starting to understand the hook in it.

I think one of the major problems is the mind,if I could get it to work a frame sooner things will improve..I could roll and board I wanted to tonight used all three balls in game one

I am going to have a new ball drilled up this summer looking at MoRich Weapon of Mass something or other..LOL
Sis-n-Law has a new one and really like the roll and hook to it..if not that then an Ace..really likes Daves,,but I gotta have some more "turn" drill into it..LOL..

I'm a straight ball roller. There is a tiny bit of a hook at the end, but that's about it. The reason I had a great third game is that I took OFF my glasses and kept them off. I figure if using my "blind" is better than what I'm rolling, I may as well bowl blind. Actually, since I wear bi-focuals, taking the glasses off makes me feel closer to the lane and makes me reach for my mark.

Carole,
You need to take your glasses off from the very begining of frame 1, game 1. We are bowling the number 1 team next week. Should be fun.

Dave & Terri

Sam
From a man who cant find the pocket but can pick up all sorts of splits

Im either going to bowl good tonight or when I get home Im going to get naked and turn on my webcam

And Sam, I hope you do well tonight! Either that or please do not stop at Wal-Mart on your way home tonight!

Carole,
Sam is correct. Get a little heavier ball that won't deflect as much with a mild curve on the back end. You will love it once you get a handle on it. Go see John at Dynamic Orbs. He is the one that drilled up my ACE. He knows what he is doing and he won't do you wrong. Just my $0.02 worth.

451 can you belive that..

Hell, I have at least one game like that every week!

Larry watched every ball I rolled tonioght and report back to me on what he saw..he shook his head so much he got dizzy.. looking at the pins I would leave..LOL

I had always thrown 16lb stuff. Specifically as close to illegal as can be depending on the scale. Thats after adding the 4th hole!!!!! I always thought its what you need to carry. Until I got this second 15lb ball I never would believe it hits harder, and I can be more accurate with it. Id a said you were whacked if you told me that. I fully believe that the less weight is now the way to go. Carole, I suspect you are not throwing a heavy ball at all, though I could be wrong.

Sam since you are looking to get something else new AGAIN, be different. Wait until something new comes out or try something that totally shouldnt work!!!!! Thats what always works for me.

Sam you actually made me think of something. What weight stuff are you throwing? For that matter, What is everyone throwing????

Ok, here's what I carry:

15# Vortex V2 Particle (My lead-off ball)
15# Vortex (Older ball, I don't use it very much any more)
15# Stinger Purple Pearl (I use this one the night is completely wasted. I can usually milk 1-2 strikes out of it.)
14# Ebonite ball from Sport's Authority/Modell's, etc. (My spare ball)

Storm X Factor ACE 15# - good on med - hev oil.
Storm Flash Force 15# - good on med oil.
Columbia 15# - my spare ball.

I've finally learned how to pick up the ten pin with the X Factor Ace and haven't used my spare ball. I'm also using a Masters hand and wrist brace now. I had to move my starting mark over a few boards left since using the wrist brace, but I'm still hitting my original mark on the release. Much better ball reaction on the back end with a nice steady roll. I don't need to power up the ball as I once thought. Now I just need to keep the same approach, release and ball speed. Next week should tell the tale.

One of the biggest problems with the new ball is you must keep them clean or they will "die"..be sure to wipe them down good and wash them at least every 3rd set.Use warm water and Dawn,,just let it soak,if you have inserts for finger tip balls dont get them in the water.

I have problems with 10 pins,they keep moving on me..never where I toss the ball

ROTFLMAO!!!

Yes, Sam. You are a glutten for punishment when it comes to bowling. You can blame me for that extra bowling last night. It was my idea. But as always, it's great to spend time with you and Peg. We always have fun.
