    Exciting stuff. I think it's great you guys are doing this.

    Did you three know each other prior to these boards or did you all meet on bowlingboards.com?

    And I've had two falls just this week. It was pretty brutal as I feel into the lane and got oil all over my arms. Those approaches are pretty bad sometimes.

    I "think" Aslan and Mike knew each other, or at least had met prior as they live in the same general vicinity. I live further South, so I met them via the site and in person for the first challenge last year.

    I woke up Sunday with a nasty bruise on my knee.

    Thank You Party People.

    Aslan came out to the shop once or twice before the first challenge, but that was after he was on the board.

    Yeah. I met Mike because he was the only one locally that drilled balls using Bill Hall's Tri-Grip method and I wanted to give that a try. I had him drill a ball with a conventional grip and then had him drill a couple balls tri-grip. Then I had him drill a couple balls for an experiment/project I was working on regarding differences in ball motion due specifically to drill layouts. Then Mike and I were teammates in a 3-person sport shot league a season ago.

    But I didn't know Mike before I was on bowlingboards.com.

    Game 3? COME ON MAN!! The suspense is killing us.

    One random thing I noticed in the video is that Aslan and Mike holds their towel in their left hand while maneuvering the ball with their right to wipe it. Maybe it's just me, but I don't want any oils to get on my bowling hand so towel goes in my right and I spin ball with my left to wipe it.

    Aslan is like the lawyer who tries to make the best part of his case just before the break for a weekend, so the jury has that in their mind for the longest time.

    As for cleaning the ball, it's probably a coordination issue, I don't think I can spin the ball with my left hand.

    Since I don't throw equipment that flares, there isn't any oil on the side of the ball that my right hand touches.

    I even tried drilling up a C-300 Scout, pancake weight block, and minimal reactive resin cover.... When I got it up to the hold area, it snapped Brooklyn off the end of the pattern. Outside of the hold area just makes it snap earlier.

    Next experiment is trying conventional grip.

    Major summer task... get rid of the damn bounce.

    How's the knee bruise?
    Summer is great time to tweak your game.
