i dont really believe that such an old ball can still hit like a truck!

for most of u who dont know, i bowl on very sh!tty lanes, short light pattern, with open play carrydown. best bowlers in my house are lefties whos best average are not higher than 225

ok, coming back to the Sledge Hammer, bowled 6 games of practice before friends asked me to bowl with then for some sweeps, then we proceeded to bowl 9 games in a row, in which i moved left about a good 20 boards. What is more amazing is that, i never hard to change ball for first shot, carried from right to left, unbelievable!

9 games i bowled 2020, my new highest series for 9 games, nothing super, but its my best so far
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

i am finding my el nino 2000 has practically the exact same hook shape as my cell, both drilled pretty close to the same.  i can stand in the same spot, hit the same target at the arrows and hit flush pocket.  the only difference ive seen maybe is the el nino pushes a few feet further downlane before making its move.  only thing i can think of is the el nino is 16# the cell is 15#, but even then the speed difference isnt that much.

vapor zone
el nino 2000
green gargoyle
fury
blue dot

I am the same way I tend to roll old stuff heck I found an old purple sumo, purple rhino pro and have an old gold rhino pro and prefer them all over my gravity shift, green vibe, the cell I threw and my awesome hook. However I still love my xxxl. I also should be getting me a NIB nail and NIB red pearl hammer.

Also that purple rhino hits harder than anything I own when it flips its coming hard and will carry on most shots.
