Not kidding at all, haha.
Tried out my new storm shammy tonight...very nice towel. Everyone really liked testing mine. It really grips to the ball, really wipes off the oil.
Also tried out that standard storm compression sleeve, pretty comfortable. Everyone else seemed to adjust theirs constantly, the 'high five brand' product has different features like a non slip inner rim ( like what a sleeveless dress would have [I sell clothes for a living, trust me on this]). Believe it or not its like a premium version 'above' the quality of under armour in terms of fit. ...UA probably has better cooling/heating material though. It didn't bother me, and it didn't slide down once...which I couldn't believe.
Anywho...
Been in a slump. Tonight, I shot 247, 300, 238 and also won the $1000 strike pot. (Roto Grip Sinister BTW)
Coincidence? Probably. I have shot plenty of 300's/800's without either in the past....but I totally didn't expect to shoot big, I expected my buddies to talk smack..haha. I only left one 10-pin the entire night, could it be the shmy removing more oil shot after shot? Idk. Averages are way down this year too, not a typical joke of a shot this year, so I'm really suprised that I did well.
If anyone is skeptical on the product, yeah its probably placebo but i thoroughly enjoyed using both.
Just thought I'd fig jam it!
Happy New Years BR buds!

Nice set, and it's always nice to walk out with some nice cash!
Does that mean the Hyper Cell Skid (which I'm looking at) will move from the "coming soon" category and into the *Now Testing* phase w/Mr. Cruxers? :P :P

I liked my Sinister, plus the Storm shammy is the same thing as the Master Wipe It Dry pad which I really love. People just think it's a better towel which is uninteresting or laughable to a lot of people, but you just don't understand until you try it!!

Sham Wow! Nice night and congrats!

Nice FIGJAM, brother! I'm still debating on if I want to pull the trigger on a Sinister. Ball looks super sick, and would be the first non 9G/AMF ball I've bought in 7 years, and first Utah ball since the ER. Yes, the ER...

Give it a couple months and I'm sure you'll be able to buy it with one of those labels on it.

I will say no 300s for roughly 380 days too. I just thought it was werid that it happened when I started using them haha. I like the sinister because of this one trait. Its a high end assym. That I can either always bowl all 3 games with without switching...or the fact that I know that I can pull it out in the 3rd game and I know its not too strong. I love that it is 'weaker' more of less.

I started using one of the UA Compression Sleeves at the start of this bowling season and really like it. I always had pain in my elbow during and after bowling, but now it's gone. I wouldn't say it's any better quality than any of the others out there, but it does feel like it has a cooling property on my arm. Felt a little weird the first few times to be honest. Never had any problems with it slipping down either.

Very nice outing! How many 300's does that bring you up to now?
The comments on here about the Storm shammy makes me want to buy it. Where is the best place to find this? So far I can only find it online from Buddies.
As an aside, I sure have loved my Sinister. I went 290 first league game out of the box, 764 in league last week, and stringing 12 in a row this past week (last 4 of #2 and first 8 of #3 - dang 10 pin).

pep boys, 1/4 the price.

I stopped counting after I got really upset at certain league/tournament officals for not filing my honor scores...and now they mean anything as the sport is deemed to easy. I should be pushing 30 300s but I know only 21-22 are on bowl.com
I have stopped bowling places because they will host unsanctioned tournaments and not tell anyone until an honor score is shot. I did it back to years in the same tournament, there went 2 300's lol. I dont count on bowling high scores, but if I shoot it I want credit.
You can look me up on bowl.com " Billy D Ladra " I'm not the greatest, so dont hate.

Here's my final 300 shot, packed it!
