Last week I went bowling and I'm pretty good friends with the lady that works the counter. She told me that they had the viper pattern on lanes 7 and 8 and asked if I wanted to bowl on one of the lanes. I decided what the heck? I'd never bowled on anything but a THS in my life. She said that the owner guy threw a couple games on it and then had to leave. The 1st 3 games I was above my 182 average shooting a 225, 204, and 185. After that the games definitely went down hill. I'm not real experienced with oil patterns and things such as that but I'd like to say that it was the oil patterns breaking down that made it so hard to hit the pocket, but I really don't have a clue. I would miss right and the ball would skid, and if I missed left the ball would go through the head every time. All in all I felt pretty good about myself and the 1st 3 games. I was throwing a Black Widow Pearl that had just been resurfaced. If anyone knows what I could do for next time, maybe any adjustments or anything, that'd be sweet.
