My PBAX league is at 9:00 pm and i was there early at around 8:30 and they always lay out the first two lanes for people to practice on. I was practicing on the shark before league started and i shot 300 with my new NVD! layout was 3.5/3.5, x-hole on pap, surface was 800 grit. I played 10-3 and had great results every shot even if i missed my mark 1-2 boards. Recently, the shark pattern was what has been causing me trouble in my PBAX league, im just happy i finally had a good game on it, i haven't shot over 230 on shark, its depressing, but practice makes perfect. and it was during practice, so it counts for nothing.
