I just wanted to tip my hat to Eric and the gang at 900 Global! They have been producing some of the best stuff and I did it some justice last night.
I picked up a Break S-75 for a reasonable price a few weeks ago and after changing the cover to get it where "I" wanted I settled with an A pad in the NEAT system. It was my first go with since the surface change and it worked.
Game one was front 7 then wiffed a 10 pin in the 8th, X 9th, X / for 246
Made some small adjustments after the 10th and threw the next 20 in a row. Put up 300 then had front 8 in game three but was derailed by a pesky 10 pin! Bagged out for 279. After the dust settled I piled up 825.
It is my 2nd 8 and 2nd 300, I am glad to say that I did it with Global!
For the record the A pad seemed VERY similar to the OOB. What it gave me was a touch more mid lane and a slightly more controlled back end. The break point moved up about 2-3 but I was still able to play a stong arc to carry the pocket.
