Just wanted to let you know what a nice guy Mike is.  I emailed him yesterday, asking what he was using now.  Had a reply this morning (Lanemasters) and he offered to put me in touch with some equipment.  Pretty nice, especially considering that he's in the middle of one of the more important tournaments he'll bowl in.  BTW, he's leading after 18 (including his toughest pattern).  I've dealt with him before and he's always been a super guy.

I concur ... I saw Mike last year when he won a Regional on So Cal last June.

Man, I LOVE this game; and I love it even more now that I'm using LEGENDS/LaneMasters balls ... Master the Lanes with Legendary hitting power !!!

It seems like he is just running through this event like it's no big thing. He's gone + in 18 of his first 19 games, and most of them have been 220 or better. He really seems to be in the groove; I hope he can keep it up.

I've only bowled 300, but I've benched 345 : )

He is off to another good start today.  225 233   Looks like he is in full control of his game right now.

Yeah... So does anyone else think that Michael Haugen looks like the bass player from Green Day?
