    Not sure if it's skill or just dumb luck. I do know I get more hook left handed because the ball tends to stay on the lane a lot longer as my speed drops dramatically. That has been one of my biggest problems with this entire sport, slowing my ball down. When i'm hitting the 17, 18mph area it's a good shot any faster and the ball just skids straight as an arrow any slower and it's going Brooklyn.

    I had to try it yet again. This time I did warm up throwing the Misfit a few games to calculate my rev rate and speed. Michael, you think I could get ready for the plastic ball championship next year? lol

    A high speed handy cam. It records in high definition but then I have to trim it so it won't be too long to post. My wife actually called me when I left the 4-7. I answered the phone then picked up the spare and the whole game still only took 8 minutes.

    Plastic ball league doesn't sound fun for me. I feel like I would probably mess up my mechanics trying to get more revs on the balls to make it hook. Maybe it would fun for a week or two, but after that I'd be asking myself "why did I spend all this money on reactive resin balls, just to throw this $60 plastic ball, shoot lower scores and not help my game?"
