Riggs,
    A few things:

You may not talk with them but wish Ken and his group good luck from us at BR.com.

Good luck to you and your teammates when you make the trip later this month. Will be looking for some big things from you guys.

Thanks for all the information and insights you do freely provide. In a world that is usually "me first", you taking the time to provide your analysis and that of others to the rest of us is refreshing. Especially coming from someone as talented in this sport as you. Knock 'em dead Jeff.

Jorge300, you hit it right on when talking about how nice it is to see people provide information like that, when anymore it is a "me-me" type of world.

Riggs, you taking any Invasions with you? really like how strong the ball rolls for some of the guys i have watched throw it. also will think about the Reign of Fire you mentioned earlier.

Riggs, I am no table to go this year but the info you give, in the manner you give it, is sooo valuable for us not as knowledeable on differing lane conditions.  You sir are a true credit to the sport of bowling.  We need more like you!

Dballz, current plan is to bring my ROF and possibly start with that and two INVASIONS -- one strong, one control.  Reviews of these balls are under the Storm thread on ballreviews.com

I did talk to Ken this morning -- they hammered the Sands dice table last night so they are all in a good mood and set to bowl today.  Should get a blog up on how they did Saturday morning and follow with a minors blog on Sunday.

I will buy you a cocktail for the info after bowling.  I believe we bowl the same team shift, and minors also.  Too bad.  I would like to watch the experts break down the lanes.

Hopefully we are close and can watch.

Pinto, we split our minors up:

MINORS SAT 3/27 -- Faulkner-Howery & Goepfert-Myers -- 35-36 flipping to 33-34. (11:40 a.m.) -- Wittkowske-Walters -- 41-42 flipping to 43-44 (5:30 p.m.) -- McDowell-Shady & Richter-Richgels 35-36 flipping to 33-34 (5:30 p.m.)

So if you're 5:30 p.m. feel free to come by when our other guys are bowling - guarantee I will be ther watching.

Bonus: Have learned that a great group is bowling 2:30 p.m. Friday and 11:40 a.m. Saturday -- includes Bob Learn Jr. and Steve Wilson.

Should be fun.

No...you can play the track area and find a little bit of friction around 6/7, but right of that is really not playable from what I saw.

Just curious if you've bowled yet this year?  I bowled like crap but know what I'm looking at out there.  I saw nothing right of 5 and the graph shows plenty of volume there.  The sharpest taper in the pattern is just outside of the track.

If 1/2 was dry it would be like a high volume cheetah...and that was definitely not what was out there.
