299 - 804 with Black Widow Bite
« on: February 08, 2008, 08:00:33 PM »
I'd like to congratulate my teammate Mike Busch for shooting 299, 279, 226 - 804 tonight with his Black Widow Bite at Airway Lanes in Waterford, MI.

I was a distant 2nd on our team with a 730 (227, 257, 246)using my Black Widow Pearl for all but the first 5 frames.

The ball is pretty sick.  Another quality release from the Hammer Squad.

Now I'm not sure getting the Cell was the best idea for me

Tell him congratulations on a great series.  You bowled a good series, too, so congratulations.

I think I bowled there many years ago.  Is that the one on west side of Dixie Hwy?

   No, Airway Lanes is located on M-59 between Cresent Lk Rd and Pontiac Lk Rd. I think you're refering to Cherry Hill North, the old Howes Lanes...

I bowl at airway on sundays and thursdays. I didn't think anyone from the area was on here. I guess I never asked.

I never really bowled well at Airway on the wood.  I shot a 300 in practice the first game I ever bowled there, then bowled in leagues and averaged 201 both seasons.

I came back for the first time this year (I bowl with Howie the pro shop operator) and I'm averaging like 227 or 228....

It works to my A game, because if I can play straight, and find some area, well I am good to go.  If I could just pull my head out of my...well you know...I might be posting about an honor score sooner or later.

As of recently i just started playing straihgter and I actually prefer it now as opposed to when I started. I used to be a no-thumber but i quickly got out of that. Before I would try to swing the lane but I found thta straighter is greater on my avg. I'm at a 190 and I'm still learning every time out. I've had howie drill several of my balls. I just was in there the other day to "support our local Pro" but he didn't have what I was looking for and it was on a backorder for like two weeks. I like howie though he's real helpful.

Yea I have learned unless you have a ton of hand it's pretty hard not to play a pretty straight line in that house.  We bowl on the 2nd shift after the plastic women bowlers, so it can get messy at times.

That house is a good one for confidence.  Other than that, I can't say too much.  The only thing I find myself having to do is adjust my feet to find the right angle to carry.

Keep practicing and if you have a chance ask Howie for advice on how to play the lanes.  He's a pretty knowledgable guy.
