299 w/ Emerald Vibe
« on: January 13, 2009, 02:50:11 PM »
Well, I've been in a slump the last couple of weeks off and on. Timing, release, all sorts of bad stuff. I've been really down about it all too.

Anyway, threw horrible practice balls before league Tuesday night, then once we started it felt great. Shot my first ever 299 game outta the gate. Had one high one, but carried, then hit high one more time on the 12th ball and left a 4 pin. I used my Hammer Emerald Vibe I won awhile back in a raffle too.

It's cool to have another honor score this year. Had a 290~ 11 in a row awhile back, now this one. I've got my 300 ring in my size, think I'm getting the 299 in my wife's size to wear. Ended with 209-207 last two games. Pretty disapointed in the series, cause it coulda been great. Chased the line the rest of the night and couldn't string 'em anymore. Oh well I'm happy.

*** Question~ I've had one 11 in a row this year, this one would count as a 2nd one. They don't give a ring for 299's you have to buy one. Can I still buy one even with my prior 11 in a row???

Also, someone said since my first 11 in a row was the last 11, and this one was the front eleven it counts as another plaque? Is that correct too? Just curious as to what I've got here lmao.

First, congrats on the great game! I have an Emerald Vibe, and have started to see some success with it as well.

Second, to answer your question, you can only receive an award (in this case, 11 in a row plaque) once per season. The fact that you had the back eleven and then the front eleven, cool as it may be, doesn't matter. As far as buying the plaques go though, that's a good question. In the past, you could purchase rings after you first one of the season, so perhaps USBC does the same thing with plaques?

Yeah, looks like I'll go ahead a purchase the 299 ring for my wife, and buy the 11 in a row for my 290 awhile back just for a keepsake too.

Now the elusive 800...........

Brian,

Great shooting. Too bad about the 4 pin. I just got my Emerald Vibe last week but I have not thrown it yet. I drilled it weak, but I have not run into a shot that I had to have something that weak so far. Nice to see that you are bowling well again. That 800 is not far away.

I forgot to list some info on the Emerald Vibe I used. It's laid out Rico, and I knocked the shine off with a 2000 abralon pad. Really smoothed the reaction out, to get just what I wanted out of it.

Thanks again guys!
