1 ) Hawthorne Lanes has an older Brunswick Anvilane surface, with a lot of built in friction. I dont think it would matter which pattern they run here, scores always seem to be a little on the higher side
2) Pin Carry at Hawthorne is severely above average
3) and most importantly, and read this very closely, we are talking about 63 of the most talented bowlers in the world ( with me being 64th !!! ). You give these guys a little free hook and they will light it up.
The transitions werent easy this week, so those of you that insist on calling high scoring tournaments "house china", come on out. Just because scores are high doesnt neccessarily mean that they are easy. You might just gain an apprectiation on how good most of these guys really are
BTW, i truly appreciate the nice comments and words of support i get from these boards. Believe me, during times like these its nice to hear from people that care and for that i thank you all a great deal
