No thanks!! Happier bowling in centers that are closer to me. Wasn't about to drive 50 miles one way to bowl in a center.Originally Posted by Aslan
I like that VDub bowled in what appears to be a West Virginia chicken coop and it was HIM that chose it!!!
Wel done. Maybe you should let Aslan go back to his original idea and choose centers for you? You have to drive further...but so far my selections have been somewhat "normal". Mike complains about Chapparel300...but in all honesty...it's a nice house. I just think it's "when" you bowl there. A LOT of alleys won't oil on the weekends...and I HATE that. I played AMF Carter at the tail end of Thanksgiving weekend and my ball reacted as if I was rolling it on dry plywood. And THAT place puts down as much oil as anywhere for league play...more oil than anywhere (except AMF Riverside) in SoCal.
But...it adds to the "fun"...and the "experience".
So far only me and VDub have bowled...so currently the over/under on how many lame participants are going to be posting on May 29th that they need more time because their car broke down or their alley is closed for a birthday party or their spouse stepped on a tack and needs medical attention is somewhere around "3" according to Vegas oddsmakers.

I've completed mine at Foothill today.
I have video to edit, stills photos of the scores, as well as a printout.
Foothill being a Brunswick house has lower friction synthetic lane surfaces, but at least I wasn't bowling on leftover trashed lanes.
The practice game had me a bit worried if I should ball up to a low flare breeze, but I found a little friction at the end.
Will post scores when the video is complete later tonight/tomorrow.
You seem to forget you posted that video, so we know how much you rely on both the dry, and oil to help your errant shots.
Actually you "spray canned" so much, it's hard to tell what your target was.
I thought the Oklahoma contingent(tccstudent and jerrall) had already bowled too per their "tourney" schedule and needing something quickly in terms of center they were to bowl in.

I probably wouldn't have posted that before J-Dilly bowls as you now give him a target to aim at and are reliant on him being an honest fellow...but, to each their own.
I've already bowled (Mike witnessed) and will post mine and Jeral's scores as soon as Jeral gets around to sending them. So far I have mine, VDub's, and MWhite's. And...as predicted...so far the non-randomized (or LESS randomized) center selection is producing much higher scores. So this'll be interesting.
