Guys this thing is the real deal!Had it drilled up tonight and John said go hit the lanes and pay for it after leagues.
1st ball dead in the pocket,,very 1st ball!! Game one-222
Game two-232
Game three-178(632 set)
I was tired LOL..two open frames all nite spilts that I earn,had 4 total got two. This puppy is predictable,solid roll,hits hard and dont leave ten pins,,I did not have one tonight. Game 3 was all spares but one split/open and two strikes..Ball speed is improtant with the puppy, and I was dead tired game 3. But to shot 222 and 232 and a 632 set using a new out of the box ball...I'm impressed

That's impressive Sam. I bet you felt like your knuckles were dragging the ground.  I'm hoping that the folks looking to buy our local bowling alley will take it and make it a place that folks want to go to. When the current owners bought the place several years ago, the first thing they did was take out the pool tables and put in not just a bar but a full blown lounge. Now nobody wants to take their kids there. Lanes haven't been oiled in years and the place is so thick with smoke you can hardly see much less breathe. The carpet hasn't been cleaned in forever and the parking lot is a big pothole. If it were patched up it would make a nice place for a car show or cruise-in.

69,
I bowl in one independent house and one corporate house (AMF) and the AMF has the bar/lounge and no smoking rule.Were the independent house just has a snack bar and allows smoking.Both are great places to take the Family,Clean,friendly staff and both have excellent youth programs. The independent house just had a painter,hell artist,paint cartoon characters in the nursery and it looks great,and its not unusual to walk in and see 10 to 15 young kids/youth rolling the ball and enjoying themselves.Yes the parking lot needs paved,I have a reserved place
The Owners give us free pizza for strikes,7 in a row for men,6 for women and 5 for Srs.When we bowl our 1st 700 series (650 women) they give us this really nice embroidered shirt,High game each week for men and women get a free steak dinner from a local restaurant,youth get free pizza and picture of Coke for same.
I can walk up to the snack bar and not say a word and one of the Gals working the snack bar will hand me a large Ice Tea Sweeten..cant ask for more The corporate house will forever be famous for the Allen Iverson "Brawl"..LOL.. and yes my knuckles look terrible ask Dave..lOL

Sam,
Glad to hear you like the new bowling ball. Sounds like you are very happy with it and that is one heck of a series for a ball fresh out of the box.  Yup, I can attest to the knuckles.  Glad I only bowl once a week. Dave & Terri ------------------

Dave,
John spent over an hour setting up that ball and doing measurements,math,drawing lines and looking at me and smiling,LOL,20 mins alone getting the fingers and thumb just right.I didn't know but that shop is OWNED by Morich Ent Word must have gotten out that I was having a ball drilled up because a crowded showed up to see what he was drilling and every once in awhile I would notice 3 or 4 bowler standing behind me watching it roll..LOL. And John "cut me a deal" save about $40 buck..he a good guy,#1 in my book and he getting married next week too I hope his new bride is "Shocked and Awed" LOL Sam

Sam, it sounds like a great unit. Glad to know its almost paid for already. I bowled friday night. Didnt know what to expect with my back in the shape its in. Shot 605 so I was happy. Bad game 1 considering I was trying to make sure I could throw ok. 167-231-205. the 205 game should have been better. First frame was bad but spared. 7/ but then proceded to leave all 9 pins on the right lane and all strikes on the left lane. Wanna talk about frustrating!!!!!!! At least we won 5 points.
Last 8 weeks have been 580 or better -1 at 510 brought my average from 171 to 182 since I got the Arsonal. I suspect I should end up at like 181.68 or something like that for the year. Just have to remember for next year, dont rip the cover off the ball.

Woah! Sounds like a great purchase there, Sam! I may have to go to my local pro shop and get one of those! We only have one bowling alley left where I live and it's an AMF. You don't have to worry about the smoking in the alley, since smoking is all but illegal in Maryland. They have a separate lounge area that smoking is permitted (since alcohol is serverd and it is a self contained room, with it's own air handling equipment). ------------------

Wow! What a great night! We took all three games and total pins! First time in a long time.  Should move us up in the standings nicely. The last game came down to the last frame and the last bowler. Carole's John pulled it out for us. We won by one pin. I also did something new and different tonight. Good thing I got a handle on this new ball. Bowled: 218-211-171 = 600 Series with a 200 average for the night! My first 600 series. Sam, you called that one right. Thanks for all the help. Dave & Terri ------------------

Thank you Sam. I have a great coach that helped point me in the right direction. You also correct on just roll the ball. Unless it's a 6, 9, or 10 pin. Then it's move way left, aim for the third arrow from the right and crank up some speed to hold the line. I went about .500 on picking up the ten pin last night. Simple errors on my part, but I'm happy with the total out come. Now if only last night scores would get updated to see how we are doing in the team standings. We were in 15th place out of 24 teams. Should move up nicely. Lots of high caliber teams did not bowl well last night. Dave & Terri ------------------

You didn't jinx me as bad as I thought you would. Although after my first 5 frames, I was afraid the entire team was going to be arrested for impersonating bowlers!By frame 5 in the first game, I had barely broken 50. I switched over to the Stinger and the rest, as they say was history. I won all 3 games and got pinfall, accounting for 8 of our total 8 points all night! The next time my teammates say they are going to bowl blind and go to the local gentlemen's club, I'll let em! 155-137-213=505 The 213 game was my best of the league. And at least I managed a 500 set. Not quite the 600, but there is always next week's edition of self abuse! ------------------

Greg,
Great series. Good timing on switching bowling balls. That has been one of my problems. Not knowing when to put one ball away and use another.  Now if only you could get the rest of your team to learn the same thing. This self abuse is getting old. Good thing the season is almost over. Dave & Terri ------------------

Thanks, DaveSelf abuse can't get old yet! We have 2 more weeks of this league, and then the summer league starts the very next day! It may be time for me to consider professional help! As for my team, they just had an ugly night. A real ugly night, but then again, we all have ugly nights at times. Well, at least we know the team we'l be bowling the next 2 weeks, as we've bowled them EVERY position round this league. And we did have someone shoot a 300 on the lanes next to us. What was even better was he was bowling against the team we'll be facing in position round! ------------------

It was a good night for me. All three games over average (the last was one pin over) and a 500 set. Putting the glasses on to pick up spares seems to be helping a bit. Dave won three of the four pots. John and I just "donated". Look out next week Carole ------------------

Carole,
Glad you finally posted your bowling results. I didn't want to swipe your thunder. As for next week, just bring it. Lanes 23 & 24 are my best set of lanes. Sam,
I keep telling Carole to go see John at Dynamic Orbs. I also told her she needs a little heavier ball to reduce the amount of deflection. But.......We shall see. Dave & Terri ------------------

Yes, it does. It doesn't help either when you buy two new bowling balls during the league season and try to figure out how to roll them. Finally got a handle on the X Factor Ace sooner than I did the Flash Force. Lots of fun. Dave & Terri ------------------

Sam,
I'm shocked. I'm having a better bowling week than you??? Blame it on the new ball. Yeah, that's it. It's always fun trying to find the handle on a new ball. I've had to do it twice this year. Yes, it's my fault, but you can't fault the results.
Got to see John and Carole tonight and both are gunning for me next week. I've taken three out of four pots the last two weeks. All I could tell both of them is "Just bring it". We shall see. Of course the lanes we are assigned are the ones I have had the best averages on. So we shall see.
It also sounds like Carole may go so John about a new ball after the season is over. That out to be fun. I did tell her that she needs to go up a pound or two on ball weight. Less deflection that way. We shall see. Dave & Terri ------------------
