    No Rob, it was a Strike and Spare, (another AMF, out east of Kansas city mo.) It the lanes where Bruce, my ball supplier, resides with his Pro shop.

    I am sure your right about the time of day, temperature inside the lanes, number of games played on that fresh pattern,,,,, ect ect..

    I Kid you not, it was hard not to throw a strike WITH THE BYTE THAT DAY, playing the inside position which was totally NEW FOR me!!

    I have never been so excited about a ball! Now to only fined it was and anomaly,,,, fluke,, never to happen again!!! (

    If that would have been league night, I am SURE,,, without a doubt it would have been a 800 night!!! Closest so far has been a 780 last fall, along with that 300 game!!! GRRRRRR.....

    I want that 800 this summer!!!!!!! Gladstone might just do it for GENE, and Ice! Gladstone has a great shot,,, my friend Pat Henderson that I have mentioned on here, ( a true bowling icon here in Missouri, hall of fame bowler), had and 802 not long ago on the seniors league at Gladstone.
    Don't walk on Thin Ice!

    There's never been a Storm Demo Day at my local alley. If there was, I'd probably give it a whirl. Actually, I do need to take advantage of one of those demo days. Even if it may be in a different manufacture, at least it'll give an idea of what their equipment is about and how it rolls.

    This right here ^^^ is a good way to put some very good advice.

    the only problem with those demo days are the companies match up certain balls to the "exact" oil pattern. Many many times have I seen people try a demo ball at a center and then bring that ball to another center and its completely different from what they've been seeing.

    Surely a ball company wouldn't hose unsuspecting buyers by making their product look unrealistically good??? I'm... nonplussed!
