Worst bowling alley
« on: January 13, 2006, 10:36:30 AM »
I bowl at riverside lanes for my school team. Today I was bowling and the pin resetter came down my ball when it hit the pins. I am furious because it was my SmashR. now i put that away and i throw 3 frames with all strikes. Then i figure i will try the SmashR one more time. The pin resetter comes down and puts 3 big dings in my ball and some paint marks on my ball. So my dad sees this and he is mad. so he went to talk to the drunken owner and talked to him about my ball. The owner better buy me a new ball because he ruined my favorite one.

If you live in a glass house, then you shouldn't throw stones and if you gotta glass jaw, you better watch your mouth, cuz i'll break your face.

Its hard to play with an inferno and not get burned. Last time I threw my inferno, the opposing bowler definitely got burned.

Most houses have that crap up where any lane damage is your responsibility, easy way to get the owners out of big jams, so if they don't have that then they should replace your ball, because that should not happen.

I would of been pissed if that were to happen to my stuff. But its good to hear your getting a different ball.

Laurel lanes out in new jersey is horrible about damaging balls.

My brand new Total shock and awe came back from the ball return with a huge motherEffing gash. But luckily they repaired it for free.

The paint will come off so no need to worry about that. I have seen plenty of balls get hit by the rake and have never seen much damamge done, so I don't know how much could have been done. Depending how bad it is and where the damage is just have it fixed. As far as an Absolute for replacing your SmashR unless you have it all worked out already I would not count on it. Most centers if they replace a damaged ball will replace it with a ball of equal value. Sorry to sounds so negative about this but that is just my experience on situations like this. I am sorry to hear that your ball did get damaged though.

Hamilton lanes in new jersey is pretty bad the lanes are always broken down. Also balls are always getting nicked up or something. Also the oil machine is like 25 years old so the patterns are very inconstant it really sucks. I cant beleave I started bowling there.Now I dont even like to bowl there the only reason i do it cause i bowl for free.
