    That is pretty cool and will be interesting to check out.

    Can't wait to see the telecast on December 1 with this blue oil. Think will be pretty cool to see.

    Only thing this blue oil does not show is the volume of oil across or down the lane, only that there is oil there. To the mainstream people, this will still not be any better indicator of how oil patterns make bowling on them tough.

    I might need to check it out, as well. That's gonna be a huge gamble. Just have to see how it plays out.
    My bowling balls include:
    Brunswick Brute Strength, Brunswick Mastermind Genius, DV8 Endless Nightmare, DV8 Diva, DV8 Diva Pearl, DV8 Marauder Mutiny, & Brunswick White Viz-A-Ball spare ball

    I think it will be awesome! A lot of people don't understand how challenging certain oil patterns are. Now they will see what we have to deal with. I'm sure a lot of the pros won't enjoy getting the dye on their shirts though.

    A stain is a stain no matter what the color, quote the raven, never more!! As long as the color doesn't clash with the shirt, should be COOL,, iceman
