Hi all, I'm Danny. First off I am a loud and proud Lefty! I am currently 23, and I used to bowl in youth leagues til i was about 12-13, then i stopped bowling through out high school and college. Since I started hanging with a couple coworkers back in november, who bowl league, I've really gotten into bowling again. I even plan on joining 2 leagues over the summer.
About 3 months ago I bought my first ball, an 15lb Ebonite Cyclone, and since my average has jumped from a 130 game to 150-160 game. I can say though I have a horrid time adjusting to pick up that pesky 7 pin though. My personal highest game was 226 about 2 months ago, and sadly since i've only seen 1 other 200 game.
I would love to get the chance see how a freshly oiled lane effects my game though. As of right now I only bowl about 5 games a night during the 2 times a week at the ally during their special deals ($5 entry .25c games, .50c beers!!) and its always right after leagues end (9:30pm).
edit: I'm not sure how useful this info is, but i usually throw around 12-13mph, although for some reason the last couple of sessions I've been hitting 15-16mph.
