Whooo Hoooo ! -- -- I Don't Suck!
« on: April 15, 2004, 06:41:36 AM »
My ladies league team had to pre-bowl tonight.

I decided to put a coat of Ebonite Factory Finish polish on my Blade Solid before leaving.  Boy am I glad I did.  Bowled on a fresh league oil pattern.

Shot -- 203 - 206 - 255 = 664 series scratch

That's new high series for the league so far.  Missed high game by 3 pins. Bowled 9/7 in the tenth.  Left a solid 8 on the first ball.  I choked on the last ball.

Every time I refresh the polish on this ball, I seem to bowl a 220+ game.  It only confirms to me what I already know.  I need leeeeength!

My team as a group put out some good numbers tonight.  I hope they hold up against the opposition.

Maybe it is how many Beers you have each week. Keep track of them each week and then you will have a history of how many to drink each time....

PS: Anyhow, that's what Hose tells all of his CPLs.

Didn't have any alcoholic beverages.  Did pop a couple of Tootsie Rolls though.

Must have been the sugar high

John P -

Are you referring to your suggestion about trying a Urethane ball?  Noone in my league throws Urethane so I don't know how it would react on my conditions.  The other ball that you mentioned is not an option for me due to personal reasons.

Thanks for having the faith!

LadyW -- Even if someone else did throw urethane, you still wouldn't know exactly how it would react for you.  In general, urethane will go longer than resin and arc instead of skid/snap.  Take your plastic spare ball and get lined up for the pocket with it, using your normal strike release.  A urethane ball will react somewhere about half way between it and your resin equipment.  Urethane can be a very good choice for someone with low speed and revs, as your profile shows.  Also remember that most 13 lb equipment does not have the same core that the 14 - 16 lb stuff does.  Before you pay big bucks for a ball, check to be sure it has the core you think you're getting.  You might get the same reaction out of a low or mid range ball.  --  JohnP

LadyW -- I rarely make a specific ball recommendation without being able to see the bowler in action, but I'm going to make an exception here.  Use the link below to go to the ebay listings for Faball Black Hammers.  There's an nib 13 lb that's going for less than $15 with about 3 hours to go.  Try to buy it.  You won't regret it.  DISCLAIMER:  I have personally never bought anything on ebay and know absolutely nothing about the seller of these balls.  --  JohnP

JohnP-

Thanks for trying to help.  I have no idea how to place a bid or purchase through E-bay.  It's not my style of shopping.  I appreciate your efforts.
Thanks again.
