    Default Plastic-Fantastic

    I had mentioned a few times that there was a night in our league a few weeks back where the oil machine got clogged somehow. Therefore, it cleaned the lanes and never laid any oil back down...

    Ended up shooting an amazing 428 that night. If you will notice my spare ball starts it's curve just after the arrows.

    Well it kept you in the game. Roger looked happy with that 300 in the other video.

    Wish I had a Columbia Freeze for that night. I would have been all set...

    But yea man, Roger is a cool cat. Just got back into bowling after living in FL for a while. We picked him up, and he nailed his first 300. Thank god for iPhones. (oh, and youtube)

    It's crazy, because it wasn't even coming close to the break point, it was just grabbing way before that.

    It reminds me of bowling at Main Event (One of those family fun zone type things)! hahahaha. I never bowl there, ever!

    So was it like that across the league, or only on your lanes? I would figure that would be way too unfair if it were just the lanes you and your opponents were bowling on. I'm actually surprised they let you bowl in those conditions, at all! I'd figure the early friction would cause scuffing and stuff.
    Not helping the situation since 1983.
