League was cancelled last night because of a gigantic snow storm. I'll have to wait one more week to try it out. :mad:

Two weeks of league were cancelled because of weather, so I finally got to throw it in league tonight.

167-192-187 for a 546 series. Could have been better, but very happy with the way it reacts on the lanes. I missed 200 games in my last 2 games because of an open 10th in game 2 and then in the 10th the last game, buried one in the pocket and the 8 pin started to fall, spun around 360 degrees and stood back up about 6 inches to the right, I couldn't believe it!

2nd time out, lanes were drier and I struggled to keep the ball on the right side of the pocket. Shot a 137 (blech!). Found a nice line in the second game and started 9/, X, X, X, X. Missed a couple of easy spares in the 8th and 9th then struck out the 10th for a 214. Got a bit tired in the last game but still a nice 188.

Overall, pretty happy with my night, just would like to shoot the 1st game over.

Sometimes those stinker games find their way somewhere into a 3 game league night set. I had a stinker game one league night where I bowled a 120 and I have been bowling for 27 years. I was getting a lot of horrible splits. I knew I bowled a bad game when my wife beat me and she has a 127 average and me a 171 average. I had trouble finding my line to the pocket. I was too stubborn to adjust with a lateral move with my feet like I should have and tried to make something good happen by staying on the board I was on. Finally the lightbulb came on and I adjusted and bowled two good games. I have to remember this, IF IT AIN'T HAPPENIN' MAKE THE MOVE DARNIT! Nice ball by the way. Enjoy!

what's your rev/speed?
and how dry is dry?
thinking about maybe picking one of these up or maybe an arson pearl as my next ball, and would like some feedback if possible

I have no idea how to determine speed or revs. I'd say average speed I guess and based on this video, I'd put myself in the 225-260 RPM range. And by dry, just dryer than the typical shot at this house. Not sure how to quantify it, but I've bowled on much dryer lanes. So not horrible.

Put it all together tonight. 193-200-191 for a 584. Should have had a 600 series but missed 3 easy spares in the 3rd game. I love this ball!
