Hey all

[Perrin]

Hello all. happy to be on the boards. Getting back into bowling after years out of the sport...

To you give you an idea my current aresenal is a Mike Aulby signature series and a Cuda/C 2000 :)

Welcome to the site

Welcome! I have no idea what those balls are. Are they just slightly old, or Fred Flinstone old? hahahaha. Welcome aboard!

[Perrin]

Lol. The Aulby I got in I think 99 and the cuda/c in 2001.

I ordered myself a misfit for Christmas this year to replace the Aulby. Replacing it because the core is separated. Will actually rattle if you shake the the ball the right way :)

Welcome to the boards, the balls aren't all THAT old, but given the loose core id say replacing it was a good choice lol. Great choice in the misfit, what color layout did you get?

[Perrin]

I chose the Orange and Blue.

Pro-shop didn't tell me how he planned to drill it but the idea was to copy the ball movement I got from the aulby. more of an arc/snap vs a skid/snap

[noeymc]

cool i am getting my misfit in feb

[ArtVandelay]

I feel like the misfits are becoming the majority and therefore no longer misfits at all.

Think about it...

[Perrin]

Going to try to convince the pro-shop/alley to do a ball league like I read about here on the forums.


the shop makes a deal with a company say DV8 as an example. pay $16 a week for 12 week league and at the end you get a drilled misfit. pay 18 and get a reckless or Marauder 20 a week for a Nightmare or hell raiser.


could really do it with any ball company.

[Ludeth]

Sounds like that ball was certainly in need of replacing. I hope that your old skills come back quickly! Keep us updated, and provide any tips you have for newbies like me! Welcome to the boards.

[Perrin]

Getting there.

Between not bowling for quite a while and breaking my thumb on my bowling hand(thought it was dislocated learned the next year I actually broke it 50% cartilage loss in the knuckle - softball go figure) it's taking some time.

on three leagues averaging 175-185 used to be 195-200



For me personally I try to read every site I can and learn as much of the science of the sport as possible. Core dynamics effect of RG and Differential on ball reaction and how drilling can change that.


I just really really wish all companies were required to use a common measuring system for coverstock and core reactions

Welcome to the forums! Good luck with the Misfit.
