Guess I'll throw in as one of the new guys here. Pretty decent night tonight. 222-201-213=636. Disappointed with 6 opens, though. Not bad for heaving a nearly 10-year old Icon 300!

Not bad at all, I have found much to my chagrin that the newer balls are not magical, even though people will have you believe it
2 years ago I was throwing an old Brunswick fury pearl , since then I got 2 new 15lb balls Rhino gold vintage and hyper cell skid , threw those a year and went to 14lb won a Diva divine here , got an dv8 outcast and a storm hy-road and my average is still about the same ....
I had an original Gold Rhino Pro. One of the best balls I ever had!

Weird night tonight. 240-173-204/617. Really had a great read in the first game. Started the second game with a 7-9-10 split. I've never seen that before! Downhill after that. Spent the whole game kicking the ball around in the hopes I'd find my line again. Took me into the third game to get my line back. Will be getting a Storm IQ Nano from a teammate next week. I think the Icon has seen better days. Just doesn't pack the punch it used to.

I switched from 15 lb and gave the gold rhino pro to a teammate, I had some good games with it but never felt like I was totally in control of it (289), he was having trouble with the skid/flip reaction and we changed the surface to 2000, he's had 4 600 series in a row with it since.Originally Posted by Timmyb
I never had an original gold rhino but did have an original LT-48 !

Still sounds like a pretty good night, the IQ should be a nice ball !
I also did the rotator cuff a few years back and bowled lefty for a year and a half, plus had a couple of other surgeries on my right arm, hence the going to a 14lb ball.
I wish I could have done that, but I'm utterly useless left handed. Don't get me wrong, if they lopped off my right arm, I'd be switching!

Another tough night, but scored well. 216-236-224/676. Lanes 3/4 at Classic are a nightmare. 10 board difference between the two. Last game had 5 straight 9 counts. 3 were 10's (wiffed one). Had to run 5 off the sheet to finish decent. Have a IQ Tour Nano sitting in a box that I think would've have helped tonight.

Nice shooting Timmy, especially with each lane playing so differently!
