Ebonite man

Shot a 6 game block on the Scorpion pattern today. Started with my Big One dulled up playing a 15 out to 8 line. Looks like the inside practice from the past few weeks has paid off. I never was able to get into a groove on this pattern before, but today was a first. Shot a 1406 for the block and really kept every shot in play. Got the ball slightly wide on only a couple of shots and those left 2 pins. Previously, leaving 2-4-10s and 2-8-10s was common for me on this pattern. Dulling the surface also helped the ball hit harder and carry the 10 pin better. Looks like my fear of this pattern may be eased a bit. Hopefully the next time will be as good. The Shark pattern is next on the list. I have had some success with pattern basically "jamming" the ball in the pocket. May wait until I get the C-system since my Big One and NVS are nearly out of gas. Until next time-------
