I never had to move a board all night, I was able to camp out and just baby swing from 9 at the arrows to 6-7 at the breakpoint, keeping my speed up and avoiding using too much tilt to generate some earlier roll. A couple ringing 10 pins were the only times pocket shots didn't carry. I stuck on the approach a couple times and missed my target badly -- I got my first backdoor strike in about five years early in the 3rd game, but left a 6-7 off an errant shot just a couple frames later, but converted it to save the 800. It's a shame I couldn't put a 300 in that set, but I've had a couple of those before, so I'm not too bothered by it!
(The only downfall for the night? I lost doubles by 4 pins. $179/person down the drain with that ringing 10 pin the 8th frame...
)This is only about my fourth set with the Dimension, and I tried installing Vacu-grips in it, absolutely LOVE them and the way it gives me a consistent feel all the time (goes great with the Vise IT thumbs!). Big thanks to all the people on this forum who have recommended Vacu-grips -- nobody I know around here uses them. Big thanks to Storm for making great equipment, and also thanks to Doene Moos for some very helpful coaching advice a couple months ago!

I had some questions about the Vise interchangeable thumbs, so I bumped the thread in the Misc bowling forum, but just in case I'm linking it here as well: http://www.ballreviews.com/Forum/Replies.asp?TopicID=203358&ForumID=16&CategoryID=5

A half ten is not a great shot. No, you shouldn't have carried it.

A friend of mine shot 300 with a Dimension last night (spent half of my night throwing plastic, but he's strongly speed dominant).

quote:No, as in I completely, totally missed the headpin and left the 1-2-4, and something rolled into the 4, knocked it forward into the 2 which fell forward into the headpin. Quite possibly the worst, luckiest strike I've thrown in my life.
Backdoor strike? Is that brooklyn? Congrats by the way!
