3. Forgot to mention, I get my new Too Reckless tomorrow!

How is your neck by the way, Mike? Feeling okay today?

Jason, are you getting the dual angle layout we were talking about?

Mike, get better soon.

Honestly, I'm not even sure. I kept telling him I was thinking a 70 degree pin to PAP angle, and a 30 degree VAL angle and I explained that it should provide a lot of length and back end which is what I want. He just said ya, that sounds ok. Then he was explaining how he is gonna put the pin under and ask a 2nd opinion on how to drill it (In regards to pin up or pin down) to get me a lot of back-end. I was telling him, I thought pin under would make it roll sooner and get a big arching hook rather than back-end, but he showed me the photo for the layouts saying that pin under for this ball would give me more back-end.

So I don't really know what he is going to do, this is a brand new guy that is going to drill it. He's taken all the necessary classes to be educated on drilling, so I trust him. I just hope I get the reaction I want when I pick it up tomorrow. I'll be sure to ask him what angles he drilled it at.

I hope he goes pin up. According to this, it seems that would give me more back-end.

Just texted him and he said after he got the 2nd opinion, they are going to go pin up. So that's good news to my ears. Excited to throw this thing tomorrow... My first DV8 ball.

I think its all Bull Shirt!! He is just working me,,,,, !! You didn’t see me Jason but I WAS THERE. Where did you get those scores, in Dolly World,,, where everything is big, and Ro-Bust!! It look like to me you were throwing 153, 192, 136, 201, 1 89, and 200??? Are you jacking with me,,, just after surgery, neck injury, and hanging thumb syndrome!
I know your pretty good,,,, but you sure let everyone know what and imagination you have!
I went to the alley today, and bowled a 236, warm up, then a 244, 289, 239, and a 289!! Almost a 300 twice…. Fixing my thumb holes, has paid back in spades!! You might even say it was a Thumbs up decision on my part! Ok the above is a lie! But then maybe yours is 2!!
When are you going to the alley tomorrow…. I might just give you a sample of what I am talking about in person!!
I’ll bowl you without my thumb,,,, and you can use that new ball if you want!! You will probably need it!!
I feel fine Bill, Jason, thanks for asking!! I am at maybe 30 percent,,, but I will post the scores of our meeting tomorrow with Jasons new ball, and my shear mental, and physical toughness!
I am taking my ball down to Trent to have it fixed. I am thinking about putting powder on my thumb, then putting it into the ball and then looking at where the powder leaves a mark. Is there a better way to try to find out where the hang up is located? I don’t want a lose hole,,, nobody does, It feels so much better being snug. It gave me some great games up until the dang thing started hanging up on the thumb! Then when it locked, that ball took me a few inches off the ground!!
What time tomorrow? If I can walk, I will be there!! I want to see these this new ball in action!!!

Ha! You weren't there. If you think I'm lying, I have witnesses! Just ask the pro shop guy, he bowled with me tonight. I had a hell of a practice session. That was the first time I've thrown the NeXXus in a couple weeks. In case you're wondering, it was getting lonely in the bag. I think it may be scared of the dark, because every time I take it out of the bag, it does its best to put on a great performance so I don't leave it in there too long for next time. It's sleeping now, safe in sound in the bag. I don't know how to break the news to it that I may not be using it for a while once I get this new ball tomorrow, it might fall into a state of depression.

I will be there around 5 PM tomorrow. Come on in and bowl a few. You'll need to get some practice in for the match-up on Friday!
