Just joined you guys a short time ago. Got a message from the forum recently

Are you asking about the oil condition of the lanes? (kidding)

I am above the water line. Southern New Jersey received all the water damage. We received wind damage resulting in widespread power interruptions. My local lanes have just opened a few days ago. Thanks for asking.

Well... if that's what he meant than I am a naive Wisconsinite. I wasn't even thinking about the hurricane.

I hope so! He won't be able to use it and than he can send it my way!

Worse case scenario, Too much hook from lane 32, I can always roll from lane 31.

It arrived on Friday. I had it drilled Saturday and the bad new is it hits like a beast! Sorry guys, I'm keeping it. There were two other guys on other lanes test rolling the identical new ball, so I did something I thought was purely egotistical until now. I had my name etched into my ball.

Congratulations on the new ball and that it's a keeper!!! How much does the pro shop charge for etching your name? I think that it's pretty cool to have your name on your ball; I had my name etched on my golf clubs.

Seems like you join, you win a ball that week, unless you are me. Then it's, you join, you dont win, you wait, you post a lot, you dont win, you watch others win the balls you want.

I paid about $45 for the drilling, so the etching was gratis (that's free for you non-French-speaking types )

I rolled it in League last night and learned from one of my teammates that Stom balls have unique scent. He his smelled of citrus, mine is vanilla. I noticed, when I looked up the specs on the ball, they said something about "Vanilla". I though they were referring to the off-white color in the pattern. They meant the scent, evidently.

Welcome to the boards. See how easy it is to win a ball? All you have to do now id go out and shoot a 300....we'll be looking for that report soon !

Good luck with it.
