Good News...Bad News
« on: January 19, 2009, 12:07:38 PM »
Good news, new personal High series tonight with my trusty Charcoal Executioner.  245-269-245 for a 759 series.  I actually had two opens.  I opened up the 10th frame in the 1st game with s split and I missed a 10-pin in the 3rd game.  So it actually could have been 20 pins higher.

Bad news.  I purchased this ball used with under 5 games on it.  Anyway, I noticed in the 3rd game that the plug work on the fingers is cracking and will need to be fixed.  At least it is fixable.
