less than 20 games.  Full Roller drill pattern.  Polished to somewhat control the reaction.

Yea, if drilled with pin near the ring finger like most 3/4 rollers, my track would cut the right side of the thumb slug.

Realizing this, Lonce from Next Level Pro Shop began drilling my equipment using Full Roller patterns.  I've had my stuff set up this way for the past two years, and it's won me plenty of money via league pots, etc.

Yes, Nick, there are about 20 or so games on this ball.  I bought it about two months ago, only really using it for the first month.  Even then, it'd be a one game outing each time.  Just couldnt get the reaction I wanted out of it, finding that the weaker Strike Zone, Zone Classic, Original Inferno, Machine, and now Doom worked a lot better for the conditions where I bowl most (hence, the polished surface).

The camera really doesn't do much justice as it blurs the image in my opinion a bit.  To me, there is not much of a track on the ball.  There are the usual track markings on the ball thanks heavily to the wood lanes I bowl on (I could have done the dishonorable thing by taking pics to hide those... or by making videos that only show strikes).  Thankfully, the house is moving to synthetic in two weeks which should ease the wear on the equipment.  To those that ARE interested in actually bidding, the auction runs until Monday.
