    Default 900 series!

    No...wasn't me. A guy in our county USBC association that has bowled in some of the tournaments I have been in and bowls in our summer league rolled a 900 the other night in the county association tournament. He was rolling an Idol Helios the last game but not sure if he used it all night. My PSO is in the video near the end. Says he has bowled 83 300's to date. My PSO has about 45-50 last I heard. My PSO is the one in the Team Brunswick jersey near the end. That's not the center where I bowl though. Not far from me but I have never been there. It's actually in the town where Mike Ditka and Tony Dorsett are from

    Talked to my PSO last night and he said Steve used the Helios all 3 games. Pretty sure thats my buddy doing the recording. Sounds like his voice.

    That's two 900 series bowled with an Idol Helios. This one last weekend in Pennsylvania, and one in November in Wisconsin.

    Wonder if the USBC will be scrutinizing these now

    I was wondering that. I have a brand new undrilled Helios sitting here that I won at a tournament but can't bowl cause of surgery. Hoping they don't have issues with it next

    Storm issued a statement today that their own tests show no issues with the Spectre bowling ball that had certification revoked on Monday and they are working with the USBC on a resolution. I am also hearing that the USBC's testing equipment/procedures were faulty and resulted in erroneous results.

    If that turns out to be the case, I would imagine the USBC would lay off testing more Storm [or any] equipment until they get their ducks in a row.

    And now tonight at my center another guy from my summer league rolled 279, 300, 279 (858). Pretty sure he rolls Brunswick stuff. Looked at last summers stats and Steve (Mr 900) had a 221 average and Kevin (Mr 858) had a 235 average
