I also bowl Monday and Tuesday so almost anytime on Sunday is good for me.  I think sometime on Sunday we are going to try and bowl the 40 framer or one of the opther side tournaments.

I bowl at 8:30 on Sunday to so I would be able to get there alittle earlier and meet at the Brunswick booth. I think we might try to go to dinner around 5 so maybe closer to 6-6:30. Keep me posted.

Thanks Sixkiller! It was very nice to chat you up a bit, along with the other few of the ballreview crew I met this week. Sorry to those I didn't meet, I know Nicanor was lookin for me, we just never crossed paths.

Just got done bowling Singles/Doubles, yes its about 230am. Partner bailed me out for Doubles (we shot 1211 with his 670 lol). I shot a 637 in Singles, so maybe we'll get some cash back. There was a whopping 20 something people in our squad, which absolutely killed any brackets.

Yeah I bowled subpar, but oh well!

I can't wait to see Nick's video on his research of debunking Lane 1's claim of their balls hitting 20% harder......I already know it is going to be a great scientific experioment and will have lots of people talking about it.
 


To me Lane #1 hits less harder that is why it carries because it doesn't over hit, the ball will deflect into the 9 pin watch any Lane #1 ball and you will see most rarely miss taking out the 9 (righthanded). Just an objective view from someone who used to laugh at people who pay that much for a bowling ball. I just wish Brunswick was making their coverstocks again.

Just as a side note to Nicks experience, he witnessed a great skill shot by me. At about the 4th frame of the second game of doubles I proceed to go light and leave the 2-7-10. At which time I attempt to throw the ball towards the 2-7. The ball hung on my thumb just a little and went a least 15ft. in the air if not more, came crashing back down on the gutter cap with the ball return under it, shot another 7-8ft. in the air back onto the lane and then bounced right in the gutter. I must say I was quite amused with this shot. I just wish I had it on video.

^^^^^^^ Amazing shot, almost picked up the split after bouncing 3 times. LOL

I guess you could say he came up a little short.

You do know we need to use these lanes again in 3 years.

It must be the altitude, also it was a little more humid there than in years past. I saw someone almost do a Machuga flop three lanes down from me the week before you.

haha nothing like the famous bounced on the center divider and gutter cap 4 times and still manage to make its way down the center of the lane. haha. I am the skinny guy with a shaved head, haha, and I am not quite sure why I bailed nick out, considering the fact that he literally scarred my hand for life with a knife and a candle...don't ask

I left another 10 pin

Well my first experience at Nationals was a good one. I got to meet Nick and Krista, made money in brackets and black jack and had an all around good time. I would have liked to meet more of you guys/gals just didn't have much free time.

Nick, how did black jack go after I left? I would have liked to stay and play longer but I had a plane to catch. I would have liked to talk to you more but I didn't want to bother you while you were bowling, thats why I only stayed long enough to say hi and then left when you were bowling teams.

I ended up taking $40 from the dealer and tipping him $5. It was pure luck anyhow, on two $30 bets I hit blackjack and a double down on 11 that I won as well. I ended after that, because it was topsy turvy after you left.

It was nice meeting you, I'm sure I'll yap at you later.
