Well my last 3 attempts on Cheetah and Stockholm, I reallized I suck on the short patterns, or the balls I have aren't matching up well..

A wihile back I went to the Brunswick balls, due to my ball driller is a staffer, so figured easier to find the gap balls.

I gave my dad my Midnight Vibe, my other buddy my Cherry Vibe before that. I had never bowling on the short sport shots with those, I had both pin high over ring, due to a hold relasese that made me rev dominate, I've snce gone more behind the ball, catching it at the bottom, bringing my track up to med-high. Those ball,s both had fairly strong backends on the dry lanes.. but were still fairly predictable. I know my dad has bowled 5 750's since he got my ball 4 months ago.. (kick myself everyday, I thought the damage would be a substitute, but it's over under for me... pin over bridge...can't remmebert the exact abgles.

So Hammer guys what is the choice for the shorts.. Got another couple of tournaments comeing up I need to prepare for.

Hey guys,

I went with the Blue Hammer.. stacked, pin up, I tried it on the house shot, as the short pattern won't be back up until Tuesday... I had forgotten how smooth this ball was, it was the first hammer ball I had ever gotten 20 years ago..

I think it will work ok, trying playing it up 10 on the shot tonight.. and would just come up just short of the head pin, I put it out on 5, and it smoked the 2, so I have a feeling it will be the right thing for short stuff. bit more backend.. I'll let you guys know how it goes, I may go over tomorrow and roll it on some burned up lanes and see how she goes.

Thanks for all the good thoughts
