Soakers get stronger with a few games on them. I know my Thing Lives did. And it's not just the normal getting a track into it sort of thing. It really does pick up 5 boards or more.
It's a shame you didn't like the Energy. I'll be happy to take it off your hands.
Seriously, DT's high end line is great. I just shot my high game, 257, with my TL tonight (in position round, no less), and my previous high of 254 a few weeks ago with it. I think there was a 24x in there somewhere, too. Great stuff. Wish I didn't have to spend my prize money on summer bowling, or I'd see what tekneek's got for 80% off.
