A couple weeks ago, I drilled up a Chrome/Yellow Power Groove for a buddy. He wanted something he could throw at the dry house in town. It hooks more than he expected, but it also reacts better than he expected. Last week he shot 805 his first league set with it. Tonight he shot 300-789 with it. It would have been 810+ if he'd have picked up the two ten pins he missed in the second game. Then I think he had a spare or two, and a big open in the middle of his last game (or he'd have shot 299 the last one if the open would have been a strike . .). 17 of his first 18 balls were strikes, the only miss was a 10 in the first frame of the second game (which he consequently missed). I think he ended up having 30 or 31 strikes on the night. And this was all done without him throwing a single ball in practice. He was asked to sub on our late league, and he has an early league tonight that usually runs too close to this league to be able to make it from one house to the other in time. He skidded in at the beginning of the 2nd frame, and just started mowing them over. Not to mention last week he shot 299-795 (although with a different ball).
So a recap of his last two weeks. Last Monday, 805. Last Wednesday, 299-795. This Wednesday, 300-789. One last thing, each score came from a different house, not to mention three different lane surfaces and three different patterns. 805 on synthetic, 299-795 on wood, 300-789 on Laneshield. He's a control cranker, and he's ON FIRE this year so far. He used the Smash/R for the score on the wood. High performance balls, eh, who needs 'em. Me, that's who, lol, the only balls I've been throwing this year are my Fuzes. Not to say I need the high performance ones, they're just so freakin awesome. Also at discounted prices . .

HAH! I don't know ANYBODY now!
Being in adult leagues teaches you many things.
1. You're not on top anymore, but there are a lot more people that suck worse than you do now.
2. The myth about the youths having an easier shot is NOT TRUE. I'd have an entire ring collection if it was.
3. Drunk adults are a lot funnier than drunk youths.
