    I hear ya. I think for right now I'm broken and not the ball but I would like to average at least 215+ down the road and am not sure this ball is going to get me there. Time will tell...

    I know right?? Tava Lanes closes and now he has thrown 8+ 300's and 1 800 series that I know of. I believe he found the Fountain Of Youth.

    207 avg isn't half bad

    But in some cases, a brand new ball could potentially increase your avg. Seeing you shoot a 207, you know how to correctly bowl and make adjustments.

    After monday I'm down to 204. I'm missing 10 pins and leaving some splits. Gave the ball a bath today. I really need to get out and practice.

    This last Friday I bowled with the mindset.... How would Joe Carpenter play these lanes. I shot 692, carrying 11 of the last 12 shots.

    Maybe I should try that. Last time my parents came to Tennessee this year I took him bowling and he had to use a house ball and shoes. I kicked his butt. hehehhe

    Sometimes when I'm struggling to get hook ...I think about the old timers. I think about back in the day...guys throwing straight balls and getting strikes. Jus settle down, hit your mark, and hit the headpin.
