My Zone Classic Red-Pin was in OOB condition. Found it had too much skid, so yesterday i took it to matte finish, using Ebonite matte finish (1200grit), (would have used rough-buff but not available locally). What a difference, smooth roll and hard-arc, just destroyed the pocket, pins flying everwhere. Anywhere near the pocket was a strike. With my AI, had the occasional 9-pin tap, not with my ZC-RP, it's now my go-to ball.

I don't think that is fair, what if he never took it seriously??? My grandfather, one of the best coaches I know, has bowled for 54 years and never shot a 700.

Why does it matter if he never got a 700? The Only thing matter does he have fun bowling? That Is All Matter!!

A guy I know in a local center (sort of a drinker) threw a nice ball on the left side.(always played up 5...whether that the shot or not).
Coach of Yabba...about a 195 average maybe higher. One night I'm in the center and he throws a 701. As soon as the ball gets it...he gets down on his knees and cries for a half hour!! He had been bowling consistently for about 30 years and had never had a 700!
Well I got my first one and then my second on my first year anniversary of bowling left handed! Hadn't really bowled hardly at all for 30 years maybe 1/2 year. Somebody handed me a large check shortly after that moment and then a few weeks later some more big checks.
I was at the center 4 to 5 times a week I stayed till I accomplished my objective.
Now...I spend my weeks working and then starting Friday night I watch my kids thru Monday night.
If I bowl I have my kids with me...6 and 3. I have about 3 hours a week not working or watching kids. Since those first two 700s I've shot 69X including two 699 about 10 times. Every time I've needed a strike in the 9th or 10th to make it I've flushed the shot and left a ringing 7 or a 6 pin or an 8 pin!
Most very good shots!
I feel like when I shoot my next 7XX I'm going to kiss the alleys and cry too!
rEgards,
Luckylefty
pS but I know if I had habits and schedule of path...8 is around the corner!
Gotta believe! ANd regarding schedule of old...within a couple of yearsor sooner...I will!

Proud owner of a 140 first game average this year! Don't bowl me the second two games though! (two warm up balls in league..thanks proprietors)
