I must say...I really like the Mean Machine. On the Lanes I'm bowling on this year...Holiday Bowl, Albuquerque, NM, two leagues, both starting at 6:30pm, this ball is really matching up well. The lanes are oiled just before league starts so we are getting really fresh oil. Oiled out to the five board, medium to perhaps the heavy side of medium, more in the center. Last night, against a good team, really good team. Bowling balls in use included two Storm Paradigms, one Pyro, one each Ebonite Infinite One and V2 strong R, one Track Arsenal Reactive, one Storm Trifecta and my Meanie. Everyone was using a track area shot, over the 10 board except for myself. I was standing on about 34 throwing over 15 and playing a bit of a swing shot. Lots of corner pins were left standing last night by both teams, but more by my team as our token lefty must have left 10 seven pins at least. (I think they are using more powerful magnets or extra weight on seven and tens this year!) I'm now averaging about 195 in that league, thanks to Track and especially the Mean Machine. And I wouldn't trade it for anything.....well...maybe a new corvette...but that's about all (okay maybe Lucy Liu or other actresses as beautiful..but that's it!) Thank you Track!
