    I understand, though, that with the reaction to the dry air of the air conditioning, combined with the hops in the Pabst-on-tap, the half life of the prototype test cores is extremely small. So you end up with a closet full of radioactive, dead bowling balls.

    That's EXACTLY the point of having plastic spare ball. If you miss, it's because YOU missed, and not because the ball "did something you've never seen before". Your taking out that extra factor. No worrying if your ball will over or under react when it gets to the corner, no wondering how your ball will react when traversing the oil in the middle of the lane....just hit your spot, get the spare.

    Lol....that reminds me of the time I explained to my wife how the bowling balls I use are "reactive", and then a few weeks later, she was explaining to someone else how the bowling balls I use are "radioactive or something" .

    You guys are really getting in my head with all this nonsense. Last night, the lanes were a bit dry...and it got to the point where I actually had to "play the hook". And the whole time I kept thinking, "if you had a plastic ball, it wouldn't be so nerve racking." Dammit people!! I don't need anymore thoughts or voices in my head than are already there.

    Since when did you need a reason to buy a ball. You know you want one. It show real problems when you start answering the voices

    I just started my new approach this week, and my ball speed was slow as hell for me, like 13 mph.

    Here's my current arsenal:
    -Brunswick Aura (225 perfect scale)
    -IQ Tour Pearl (212 perfect scale)
    -Evil Siege (207 perfect scale)
    -T Zone (5 perfect scale)

    All drilled fingertip.

    Which ball do you think I used?

    That's right, the T Zone. I didn't need much ball, and the plastic delivered. 170 average despite slow ball speed and uncertain new approach.

    YOU NEED TO LET POLYESTER BALLS BACK INTO YOUR LIFE.

    Well, obviously present company is excluded.

    Not to mention Hampe was talking about a woman in Switzerland...so, really ya can't generalize that it would apply to ALL of Switzerland or all the EU and all of the continents and all of the countries. For instance, I've "heard" that women from Scottsdale, AZ tend to have at LEAST 3 points higher IQ (not the ball) than other women in Arizona. Thats just a fact.

    Good recovery. BUT, I don't agree...a TRUE Scottsdale woman (not me - I really don't like Scottsdale) is probably 3 or more points lower, but very well taken care of! Don't get me started on THAT!

    So apparently I need more money and to move to Scottsdale.

    I'm not a stickler for smart. Drunk, wounded, on the rebound, dumb…all those are ways to lower their standards "just" enough where I get some consideration.
