More about the Rule. I can't say enough good things about this ball. I threw it in travel league this weekend and it worked phenomenally. I decided to get in brackets on Monday, (despite the fact that I have a 225 average this is only the 2nd time I got into brackets, I usually shoot consistant scores, not 250+ scores). I get into 11 of 13 brackets. 233 the first game, pass all of them by sheer luck. 247, pass all of them, again I'm dumbfounded. Third game. S72 X X X X 9/ X 9/ X 9/ X 218 or whatever it was. One first and 10 seconds. The 9 spares were all 10 pins. When the guy I buy my equipment from comes back from vacation I will be purchasing my X-ception.
