Hey guys, check this out!
AJ Calderon of Somis, CA. had no idea when he purchased a Cell Pearl that he would have the chance of a lifetime on Monday night. AJ, who was bowling in the Monday Night Scratch Classic at Wagon Wheel lanes, shot his 15th and 16th career 300 games to sit at 600 after 2 games. He then proceeded to roll 11 more strikes to close in on the coveted 900 series. Needing only 1 more strike for bowling immortality AJ calmly stepped up to the line. "I threw a good ball and thought I had done it," commented Calderon. With many bowlers standing by, hoping to see history, AJ left a ringing 10 for an near perfect 899. AJ not only set a house record with the Cell Pearl but also set the Ventura County record. "I got the ball because I have a tendency to leave a lot of 10 pins. I told Jeff (Massey) that I wanted something that had a little sharper backend and he recommended the Cell Pearl," said AJ. "I only got the ball 2 weeks ago, and have only used it 3 times." he said. The 899 series beat's Calderon's previous high set of 837.

A righty with a 899? Thats some good shooting. Was it five man teams too?
-
Awesome to hear that, thanks for sharing. I couldn't imagine how heartbreaking it would be to see that 10 pin stand and fight.

The left hand is the right hand.

That's just brutal, man. I couldn't imagine stepping up with the front 35, I'd be so nervous it wouldn't even be funny. Great set for him, though.

I would imagine the largest Depends undergarment would be the only thing I'd wish for if I had the front 35.

Wow, congrats to AJ!! The man is a quality bowler, and I have the pleasure of going up against him in our Wednesday night scratch league.
When he gets locked in, it's not unusual for him throw telephone numbers, but 899 is a completely new level.
BTW, for clarity, it's "Ventura County" instead of "Oxnard County.
Anyway, congratulations AJ Calderon!!

Semi-high speed (16-17 mph)

For a game based on the principles of science and math, bowling sure does have a bad habit of being illogical.

Don't kid yourself.. This ball does NOT act like a Pearl ball for me. Its the strongest Pearl I have ever thrown.. I would find a spot for it if I where you..

I don't get it because everyone I have seen on the lanes so far has looked like a terd. Not saying the ball sucks just saying I haven't seen one that I just thought wow about yet. Maybe it just doesn't match up at the house I bowl at.
-
Awesome set! Nice one!

I'm a THS hack and a ball junkie.

Thats a whole lot of striking going on.
So he should get 4 entries into the pearl cell contest right????
LOL
--------------------
2nd arrow is for pansies.
-
It's crazy to think a quality bowler, with a big hooking bowling ball on a cake shot, could score like that with just any ball. Sign me up for a new Cell Pearl!!!
Errr wait....
--------------------
Ahhh Disco Biscuits!

Hey Woodex, stop complaining about your 299 last nite with the Cell pearl. This person shot 899 with it.
So it must be you.>>>> just kidding
--------------------
jls Vote for good, not evil.

Darn good shooting score. I'm still dreaming of that elusive 300. I have bowled so many 279'2 and 280's this past year and a few times this season. It always happens in the third frame, but sometimes the second but anyway congrats AJ. I would have taken that ten pin out back and showed him whos boss.

No more excuses, Just
Shut your mouth and "F"ing BOWL
