Went to a nearby Brunswick Zone for some house shot practice on my lunchbreak. This house is not my home house, but I have bowled league here before. I started with my usual line of 12 out to 6 with my Total NV. My NVS has not been performing as well, so thought the NV would be a good choice. The ball went Brooklyn on both lanes, so I moved in. What is it with the houses in this area? The other house I had my company outing in also played deep. Must be the preferred shot for the area. Moved to a ...
So let me start off by saying, this years nationals shot is one of the easier patterns they have come up with lately for game ONE. It is very heavy oil, and acts like a 45 foot pattern.

I played more straight up than in league shooting at 6 board with my Total NV. This ball seems to be performing better lately than my NVS over the last month or so. It's probably ...
Alright, so I am back from nationals. Overall, Reno does a great job hosting the tournament. There is no place that I have bowled that compares to the National Bowling Stadium. As for the USBC, and their running of the tournament, I have a few complaints. First of all, the oil pattern was a disgrace! They wanted to use Kegel's new technology, and lift the buff brush on the pattern. They had tons of forward oil and almost no reverse. This caused a great playable shot for about 2 games worth ...
