Congrats Aslan. Anybody know why there is such a delay posting the next contest on here but it's always on the facebook page first? Storm Skyrocket for the next week.
Aslan is the winner! Congrats on the new ball!

I posted on this thread earlier today but something must've happened. In any case, congratulations to the winner and thanks to the site for the giveaway. I waited to see the results first and when I didn't win I ordered a Gold Rhino for myself!
congrats on the new ball !Originally Posted by NewToBowling
Congrats Aslan let's just hope he decides to use this ball and not make it part of arsenal #23 slated for use in 2043.

how many times has he won? There is a guy on another bowling web site that's won I think 5-6 in the last year, although from a variety of places.
Not as many as you would think with as much as he posts. I think this is his second or at most his 3rd from this site.

WHAT!!??
Wow. Thanks Bowlingball.com. You made my 4th of July weekend!!
And for all the ball giveaway folks...like some of the other "regulars" (including the mighty Bowl1820 who makes the site "go")....I win a LOT less than you might think given my post count. Until Iceman returns from his 7-year prison sentence for "lewd acts" (rumor #4 I'm starting concerning his absence...)...I post by FAR more often than anyone else. I've tried to cut back a bit just because I'm busy. And also I've tried to cut back for 2 reasons:
1) I'm far too horrible a bowler to give so much advice and have so many opinions. It would be better for everyone involved if I kinda listened from guys like Rob, and Mike, Bowl1820, Chuck, FTLOB, and VDub (among others) than for me to spew my many theories.
2) I don't want to dominate the site. I think it's a turn off, especially to the significant minority that tends to lean towards despising my existence, when EVERY new post has "Aslan" as the last person to comment. As I've been told by many people..."Aslan is better taken in short, spaced out bursts." A little "Aslan" goes a LONG way!!
In over 4200 posts, this is the SECOND ball I've won. So, do the math. If you've posted 200 times and won once...you're 10.5 times as lucky as I've been. And I think it's the same for Bowl1820 and others. Iceman is the only one to reach 5000 posts and I think he only won 2-3 balls. I think Bowl1820 has the 3rd highest post total and has won 2-3 balls total.
But this is great. I've been very intrigued by this ball after watching Parker throw it in the first 2 PBA50 events. It doesn't seem like a very strong ball...but for Parker's slightly higher speed and straighter game...it played very well. Not to mention, I'm a Brunswick fan!!
Now I just got to see where it fits in as far as 15# vs 16#...which arsenal (#2, #3, #4, or future...), etc...
Thanks again BB.com!!

Smokey this is not 'Nam', this is bowling. There are rules. Proud two-time winner of a bowlingboards.com weekly ball give-away!
It's been so long since I won...I forgot what I'm supposed to do. I think I wait for a message from the site administrator. ???
I hope I didn't come across like I was begrudging you the win! I was just curious how many times you've won. There is a guy on another board I frequent that has probably won 5-6 balls in the last year.
I won once and consider myself lucky to have won. It was a random drawing.
Enjoy the Gold Rhino Pro! I had an original and now I'm getting one of the vintage series ones. If it is anything like the vintage Lt-48, which uses the same core, then we are both in for a treat!
