    173/180/225 = 578. Going backwards. I finally talked with the owner last night, and he admitted to some issues with the oiling rig. He thinks it's running the patterns a good 6-8 feet longer than what he wants. That could put the length near 48-50'. Very hard to get any finish on the ball. Upside was my last game. First clean game I've thrown this year. Missed one 10 pin, other wise the other 5 opens were all of the washout-style variety. Will be seeing my PSO tomorrow about either turning up the wick on my Black Widow, or maybe some new lumber. Thinking about the Hammer Gauntlet.

    Average now under 200......

    233/215/182 = 630. Learning week. New Sure Lock was wonderful, but it taught me a few lessons as the night went on.

    Don't assume you need tape. Thumb hole felt a little loose, so I put a 1/2" piece of white tape in. Wasn't necessary, and this became obvious about the 2 frame of game 3. Ball nearly made the arrows on one shot.

    Do not assume that one of Storm's best hooking balls won't bite you in the ***. Moved left in the third game. sent the ball out to the same spot, and paid for it twice with head pin splits. Now we know to move left on both when the transition hits.

    Still not a bad night for a break-in. Average back above 200. Barely....

    Tuesday night. 219/175/212 = 606. Another pedestrian night. Getting a better take on the new ball, but boy, it will make you mind your manners. Two pocket 7-10's to start games 2 and 3. Got the ball wide, and I'm surprised it didn't cross in front of the 7. Still holding 200.

    Another craptactular Tuesday.

    167/231/190 = 588. Lanes were considerably dryer than normal, catching nearly everyone off guard (except for one guy who popped a 300). Probably could've done better the last game, but we were so pissed off at the other team, who felt it was more important to get ****-faced than bowl. We were in the third frame when everyone else was finishing. The only normal guy on their team told them he's not coming back. We may steal him.

    Are you finding the Sure Lock difficult to figure out? Just curious because it seems either I'm on or I'm not. Case in point, I shot a 660 last week and could do no wrong. This week, Game 1, I shot a 109. Yes, 8 splits in one game. Never did that before.

    I am. The ball seems to have a sweet spot that disappears at a moments notice. One shot you're putting pins out in the parking lot, the next you're through the nose. I'm hoping once it sucks a little oil it gets more consistent. After next Tuesday it gets it's first refinish. We'll see how that goes.

    The garbage continues.

    189/181/203 = 573. Just cannot seem to put my finger on this new ball. Every time I think I've got something going, it socks me in the gut. No room for error with this thing, either. Talked with PSO, and we're going to try a polished surface to get me down the lane a little further. Average now below 200. Way to go, Timmy!

    Yep I hear ya. Seems like I am in a groove where i cant miss or I'm fighting it all night. Unfortunately there's not enough of the former.

    And I've been using mine at 4000 with polish.

    PSO said the ball looked like it was around 4000 when I brought it in, and it had 12 games on it. He didn't touch the grit, just went right for polish using Ruff Buff. Tuesday will tell.....

    So a ball goes from 2000 to 4000 just by putting a few games on it? Wow, I did not realize that.

    And me hitting the 4000 abralon pad every other week really isn't necessary? Just polish? I just did a complete resurface according to Storms Specs sheet. I just added the 4000 +polish step. Curious how it works for you.
