Third series with the SD-73 Classic 188-201-279=668. Stoned an 8-pin in the 7th frame that the bowlers watching me said was the best of the 12 shots I threw that game. No T-shirt for me...YET !!
Still have to work on the problem of the first game. I now have 3 series on this ball (641, 642, 668) and each time game #1 is sub 200. Each time the lanes were dressed right before league play and the ball gets "squirrely" until I cut a path into the fresh oil and get it to carry down the lane. The backend does not respond predictably until I do this. Might have to go find a little more polish : )
Ball is smooth as silk though...will have to buy a couple and put them away (undrilled) for future use
