Ric keeps asking me out for dinner and a movie, but I haven't got it in me to break his heart.
I am gonna take some pics later, I took 2 gnarly falls today in semifinals. Bruised my hip and elbow thanks to awesome wood approaches!

Finished +174, 22nd.
I think Frankos will win it if he can find something for the fresh in matchplay. He is unstoppable when there are a few games on them.

Yep, I talked briefly with Johnny before our squad last night. Just kind of introduced myself, he looks a lot like my stepdad.
As far as the Mini goes, I was thinking about coming up the 4th, 5th and 6th. I just need to get my staff shirts, so I can look spiffy while I'm up there. I talked to Rob yesterday, and it looks like they have drilling all taken care of...
Any ideas?

Hehe, this is too funny to me. In all honesty I still love Brunswick, hell, I'd be still throwing them if I didn't go from 16 to 15lbs. When I dropped to 15 I went on a Hammer Binge and suprisingly they give me an Identical read to the Brunswick equipment. I am about to get another 4 ball set soon, maybe brunswick....maybe hammer, who knows? I even have a NIB super rare Brunswick gem waiting to be drilled in the future. What it is?....I'll give you a hint, it has a Q on it.

BRunswick- 3
Hammer- 1
The 3 is because brunswick still has the Grizz. No company will ever match that ball.

Well Bob you nailed it on the head. BWAHAHAHA!
I found a place with lots and lots of older AMF and Brunswick Gems. Most of them are 16lbs but there's some cool stuff in 15lb too. It's like 2 1/2 hrs away from my college but I will keep checking back there once a month to see what else I can scrounge up.
I got a 16lb Slate Blue Quantum Proactive NIB too. That thing could hook in the Exxon Valdez.

Not saying that it's because they have bad equipment or anything...but it seems like there are a lot more guys signed with brunswick than anywhere else...meaning if there is more people throwing B stuff, than it's more likely for them to make the show...

bob7, kind of a thread hijack, but i found two nice looking danger zones on a house ball rack at the local lanes. Only one nick in one of them, and the other one looks great. Too bad you can't have them...

Maybe so...but also...certain members of the nation shouldn't be so quick to brag if someone who isn't a staffer makes the show or wins and chalk it up as a victory for the nation, when in fact these guys only happen to be throwing big B that particular day...AND just for future reference, I'm not Anti Brunswick....I often reccommend their products to others, as well as my fave pro is Brad Angelo....Track stuff just seems to better fit my game...Getting off topic now

You mistake bragging for stating the facts.
We have many loyalists on tour that throw only Brunswick products. That is there choice. They must feel they get the best support as well as results throwing Brunswick. It is apparently working.

anyone ever heard its the skill of the bowler and not the ball? LOL.. The bowler has to make the shots.. the ball just has to react. I know it sounds dumb but oh well. Im like TJ I throw track but im still gonna try more company's unless I sign with one (highly unlikely).

TJ.. I have no problem with brunswick, storm, MoRich, etc. I just dont see why you would hate a company. It's not the ball that does the trick, its the bowler. if a bowler dosent throw a ball the pin's dont fall. People can knock down pins with a Storm ball as well as a Brunswick ball or Track.
I guess my point is, dont hate it till you try it.

Like I said in many posts that I didn't say it as a knock on B. It just makes sense that the more bowlers you have throwing a certain type of ball, the more likely you are to have more people having success. Ric...let's see a breakdown of all the exempt players on tour and see what they are throwing. Let's see who has the highest percentage. And the high and mighty Brunswick talk....look no further than your little B nation posts

All it proves is my original statement which was never meant as a knock on their products, and was grossly misinterpreted. I said...Brunswick seems to have more guys throwing their stuff, which is going to lead to more people making the show and being successful. If there are 2-4 guys throwing AMF stuff, obviously their stuff isn't going to look nearly as successul as Brunswick who has 11-17 guys. Its just a common sense matter of numbers.

It's to keep the pain and the swelling down in my ankle until I can take a break from bowling to heal it up...I have to bowl 4 times a week until the 18th (i think, around there) because we have to make sectionals for Varsity Bowling...
