Funny and annoying moment tonight in league
« on: December 14, 2008, 10:34:13 AM »
In the 9th frame of the last game when I got up on the left lane, I switched balls.  Even though I use the Vise interchangeable thumbs, each ball still feels slightly different.  My thumb just absolutely never came out, and I lofted it way up into the air.  It finally landed just past the arrows... right on the edge of the gutter.  The ball bounced up, over the gutter cap, and into the right lane.  It rolled across into the right gutter, bounced back onto the lane, and rolled into the left gutter.  It finally rolled down the gutter, bounced off the pin sweep, and rolled back up the gutter all the way to the approach.  It was fun to watch, though getting a small chunk out of my ball did not make me very happy.

We'll have to coin a name for that -- "The Flying Buzzard."

that sounds pretty funny. I always say as long as the dent or chunk isnt in the track your fine... just accept it.

the best thing I ever saw was when I was a kid. my cousin was on the right lane and my brother on the left. my cousin threw the ball in the air hitting the ceiling and my brother threw his almost at the same time. my cousins ball came crashing down onto the left lane hitting my brothers ball and sending them into opposite gutters.

I say as long as you didnt get hurt laugh it up! its rare moments like these that you will never forget.

Take it to your pro shop.  If it's not too big it's an easy repair that won't affect ball reaction at all.  --  JohnP
