First 300!
« on: February 04, 2016, 08:00:27 PM »
Shot my first 300 last night league after nearly 30 years of competitive bowling! Thrown with what is quickly becoming my favorite VBP ball of all time- Raven Invasion! Did a recent review of the ball and last night just validates the review. Hopefully it won't be 30 years untilthe next one ;)

Excellent! Enjoy, and ignore the naysayers who try to downplay it.

Yes, just ignore those people.

I saw my first 300 in 1986 at the age of 13 - youth league. I was excited to see my childhood friend shoot his first 300 at the age of 14.  Today, I still get excited when I see a bowler on the tenth shooting is 1st or 31st 300. Not everyone in the reactive generation have shot a 300 after many years of bowling..... so GR* F"N JOB SIR!!!!

Thanks guys. I realize the equipment and house conditions of today have made it a different game than in the day of rubber and polyester balls. Oh well, I wasn't bowling back then. I started bowling in the days when urethane was king and learned how to bowl through self- learning and lots of practice. Even though I bowl in two leagues I still get to the lanes to practice and work on my game. And for the record, I haven't been a sub-200 avg bowler since the 90's.

Just saw this Spike.  Nice rolling!  Now are you glad you changed the Invasion surface?   :D

Yes, Scott, glad I tried couple surface changes to find one that works in our house. The Invasion is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite balls. And it did feel good JD!

Getting that first one is the hardest.  Keep em coming.
