Well, keeping up with my progress in my tougher Wednesday night league in Cambridge Lanes And Games, I think I learned something last week with the Mean Machine that seems to react very well in this house. As long as I keep the speed slow, the fingers soft and project the ball down the lane, my ball reaction seems to improve dramatically for this house. Before I thought I had to use more surface to get better ball movement, but I would say over my past 5 games in this house that would not be the case.
Tonight I had 31 strikes in 36 frames. 1 split (7-8 which I made), 3 single pins and a 3-5-6. My scores were 258-256-279= 793. My 6th 790+ set in my lifetime but highest set in about 10 years. Believe it or not I didn't win all my matchpoints though- as I lost game two 274-273 as my opponent threw a 238 at me and he had more handicap going into the match than I did (36 to 17).
So far I've had a 761 and a 793 with this ball in this house- the Mean Machine is a winner with me.
