Remember you only beat me scratch at your rock pile of a house. And that was after I effectively gave up.
Foothill was rather slick (where you struggle to shoot 450). I was standing 10 boards right, and targeting 5 boards right of normal for me.
BTW did you notice, that was 30 clean frames.
Also, when/where did you shoot the 680 you have listed in your signature?

Last night...on the new synthetics that were put in. Yup...thats right!! Yes, they put in Brunswick synthetics...but "No" they haven't really oiled them a great deal....so Aslan has went from an inconsistent heaven....to a more consistent heaven! Now I can throw the Rhythm, with it's wonderful solid coverstock, and that baby just goes out and makes a nice, smooth turn into the pocket.
Still gonna need MWhite, bowling ball driller to the stars, to drill me up a couple assymetric bowling balls in my closet...probably end of July, beginning of August timeframe. Definitely before I sweep in Laughlin. The lanes may be dry, but I still can't get either the Rhythm nor the Frantic to make the turn when playing inside. Not at a 130-225 rev rate. And as you can see by the scores I posted...once my second arrow area dries up...I gotta ball down because I have nowhere to go. If I move anywhere left of say 8 boards (left of center on my approach)....I might as well just save myself the effort and throw it directly at the 6-pin...because it's not coming back. Might as well throw a back-up ball using the 2nd arrow on the left side at that point.
Don't worry Mr. White. Someday, you'll be able to say you once drilled balls for the greatest bowler of his generation...me. Not right now...still working out some kinks...but someday. And I won't forget you!! I'll certainly sign a photograph of us both for you to hang in the shop.

Should we report you to the authorities?
Clearly you intend to kill every bowler of your generation.

Great video and great bowling Mike ! Keep it up. You have mad skills with the camera, graphics and the bowling ball. What ball did you use ?

That was one of the Storm Mix. I have two of them, one Red, and one blue/orange.
Those are old tech urethane, and pancake weight blocks.
The red one is drilled straight over the CG. It works best at my home lanes.
The one I used here has the CG 3 inches towards the PAP, and a big/deep balance hole to increase the RG at the PAP.
It tends to work for a game, maybe two in league depending on who else is on the pair, then it hooks too much.
mike did u ever notice you often drop the ball to early?

Technically it's not a drop, although it sure sounds like one.
What is happening is my release is occurring before the ball has entered the "flat spot" so when I'm completely out of the ball, the ball is still headed in the downward direction.
It has a negative effect on speed control, so it's something I'm going to work on this summer.
If you notice, on my spare shots, my release is different (no elbow bend) because I'm not trying to make the ball roll.
On a spare ball, if it makes a noise, I either actually dropped it, or lofted it into Aslanville.
