The Second Time Around

The ongoing story of a youth bowler who left for college and stopped bowling for 7 years and and is now returning to the game as an adult.

  1. The first outing, 2 games

    I got my Ebonite Evolve drilled and I'm getting used to it, I hadn't bowled since '02 so I expected to throw a 110 average at first.

    The first two games weren't too horrible, although I couldn't find my stance and the 15 lbs ball felt pretty heavy. I bowled a 126 and a 129, the real scary thing is I only picked up 14% of spares, and 0% of single pin spares... I don't have my spare ball yet, so I was using a house ball as a spare ball and I felt like I had no control of it.

  2. It's the first day of the rest of my (bowling) life...

    The Ebonite Evolve has finally been delivered. I tracked it on Fedex's website all morning and it was delivered at 12:07, just after noon. I cut my lunch short and will take off from work a couple of hours early to get it drilled and take it for the first test drive. So by tonight I should have a decent idea of how out of shape I am and some stats to post onto BowlSK... I'm thrilled!
