Title: Just wanted to say thanks
Post by: Bender777 on January 13, 2005, 01:38:13 AM

Hello everyone.  I was a 165 ave bowler back in the junior high days but bowled maybe 5 games in the past dozen years or so.  A couple of months ago a friend of mine from my old team got my bowling again with some regularity.  Since all I had for a ball was my old Star Trax Equalizer (the span was off and inserts too small) I searched the net for some user reviews of bowling balls and found this site.  After some reading I decided to pick up an Original Inferno and Dexter shoes.  After about 15 games with my OI I shot 208-225-235 for a 668 -- far and away my best series.  I'm not under any illusions that I'm now a 200 ave bowler, but I'm having a blast and looking forward to working on my game and possibly joining a league in the fall.

Thank you everyone in the BR community.  The wealth of knowledge about both the game and the equipment along with friendly users makes this site exceptional.  I look forward to the day when I can give something back to the forum.

Thanks again,

Bender777

If you think shooting that first big 600 was fun, wait till you hit 7 for the first time

Congrats man!  Glad you are enjoying yourself.  That's what this game is all about, but sadly some people tend to forget that and take it too serious.

As for the 600, as they say, the flood gates are open.  Expect more, and eventually that 700, 300 and 800.

Excellent series Bender777- keep up the good work and the more you read and post here the better your game will be in the long run. I see a 700 happening this season for you too...

Thanks for the encouragement everyone.  As for 700, I think the ten pin may have something to say about that
