Grats sounds like your making some moves in the right direction
Lets see...try to do this chronologically:
1) 3 weeks ago I bought my 1st ball (the last 18 years I've been using my Grandpa's old ball)
2) August 20th, bowled my first clean game.
3) That clean game gave me a 218; my highest score ever and my first score over my previous best of 186.
4) Yesterday I bowled my highest series; 528.
And hopefully, I'll be in my first league in a month!

I kinda regret it because I've really been salivating over the Aura Mystic. But given the results...I definitely can't complain. A big improvement over my old urethane ball! I know people say it's not the ball it's the bowler...but when you go from using 20 year old equipment to new equipment....you'd be surprised!!

I agree with E-tank. No need to get a high-end ball just yet. Work on your game first and get consistent. Afterwards you can flesh out your arsenal a bit. Just be patient....it takes a while to build up consistency. Starting off with a med-oil / entry performance ball is definitely the best way to go. I know how tempting it is to get the newest, shiniest, hooking-est ball out there, but it won't really help your game until you've got the basics down.
Also, congrats on your progress![]()
Congrats!
Keep up the good work. Keep working hard, and you'll strive even farther (:
