First night with the Widow
« on: December 07, 2006, 11:04:05 PM »
With all the recent success with the widow.. I decided to give one a try.
Ball Specs: 15lb 3oz, 3.07 top and 3"-4" pin
We decided to go with the pin 4-1/2" from pap (in my profile)centered below the fingers.. and mb swung to 50 deg. A small weight hole was necessary to bring the ball back to legal.

Lane condition:  HPL sythetics, 37 feet (approx.) guardian w/moderate carrydown, second shift (following a handicapped mix league).

Game one: I started by playing straight up 10.. I had fairly good look but made a couple of bad shots in the beginning.. then struck off the sheet for 248pg.
Game two: The lanes started to transition and I started to creep high..
LuckilyI I left a few makable spares while figuring out where to play.
I ended up playing around 14 to 8 on the right lane, and a much tighter shot (15 to 12) on the left lane. The left lane seem to really want to hook early if I got it outside of 12.  Anyway.. 247pg was the result.
Game three: I'm really dialed in now and just trying to make consistant shots..
I start with the first 7 and then leave my first and only ten pin all night!
I strike in the 8,9 & 10th balls.. then make a really bad shot in with no fingers and leave a 5-7 split.. lol.  I picked up and ended up with 267pg.

762 series and only one ten pin all night!  

Needless to say.. I couldn't be happier!
