I know this doesn't anwser your question, because I have no anwser to to that.... When I first started a league, IceEMQuick, myself, and my father where the only people throwing Lane 1. Niether of us are great bowlers, my father averages 198 though, IceEmQuick and I often switch averages on a weekly basis aroudn 186 or so.

My father is "not" a 198 bowler though, he just carries the world. Tugs his balls, they sit in oil, carries extermely light hits, nailed a game with 7 brooklynns in a row. People always ask him how he does it, or what kinda ball that is. My father goes into his Lane 1 spceil. Believe he, when I was a kid, I used to watch him have the same majic with a black hammer. It has nothing to do with the balls.

Well slowly but surely, we have begun to notice an increase in the number of lane 1 balls being thrown. It is a snowball effect and seems to be reaching critical mass. Tuesday night, there was a gentleman bowling a Golden Nugget on the left, and 2 more Golden Nuggets on the next 3 pair of lane to our right. I have also see a couple silver diamonds (these are the 2 balls my father throws, lol).

Wallking up and down the league area, a sprinking of Cherry Bombs and such are now visible. Everybody has pretty much had great luck with the balls so far.
