No, no. I've thrown this ball since my 3rd week of league, so maybe 5 weeks now, and other than that it probably has around 20 practice games on it.
I haven't had time to get a lesson yet, which I'm really wanting to do, but I feel like I don't get much reaction out of the ball. I'm not sure if its my release, the ball, or something else (like just being a new bowling and being inconsistent).
Anyway, I really appreciate the informative responses.
