[martinezsam2495]

Bless you eugene and martin!!! If I do win, I would like to give it to my wife, that is a newbe... and bowling REAL well with her cyclone, but I wonder what she could do with a ball like the Vivid!! She has been doing great since moving up from her plastic ball. She is now bowling with the cyclone.... but with the Vivid, I think she would have a chance against Jason and Me! she has had this last few weeks a 212, and a 222! WHAT COULD SHE DO WITH THE VIVID??? KICK my Butt!!????

wow your wife kicks my but in bowling haha,
Her scores would improve ten fold, and you can't let your wife beat you! Keep your pride. haha

would not mind this ball but i would perfer the nexxus more

^^^^^^haha...yep. Gotta keep that pride. But if you give her this ball and she starts beating you that means you have to bring your "A" game and stop letting her beat you. That she problem I had when trying to to do some bowling with my wife. Who is not a regular bowler and could use some coaching. I was doing better then her and she got frustrated. So she quit. I still want to get her into bowling regularly with me but she hasn't shown an interest since that day.

I just love coming here on mondays to see what the ball of the week will be. It is like christmas day opening a package to see whats inside.

I think the best solution to this, is to, *gulp* let her win.
I know it sounds like a drastic idea, but it might, just might, do the trick. lol

Here's my problem Sam. I am the type of person who tries to beat my own high scores when I bowl, even in practice. It has to do with growing up and trying to beat my Dad so he would stop telling me what I was doing wrong. I hated that. I also have a tendency to tell who ever I'm bowling with during open bowl what they are doing wrong. Again that goes back to seeing my Dad do it to me. Monkey see, monkey do, so to speak. I have a good friend who use to bowl with me when we were younger. It got to the point where he wanted me to tell him so he could beat me. I think I need to have someone else teach her other than me. But if she doesn't even want to come watch me bowl, should I still try to get her into bowling? I kind of want her to say "lets go bowling and I want to learn how so I can beat you." I don't know if that will ever happen since she won't come watch me bowl. Right now I'm in a league where the top five teams get to go to a tournament in Reno. I'm hoping getting her to go with me to that sparks an interest in bowling that is laying dormant.

Wouldn't work with my wife. Once when we were open bowling, and I was using the first few frames to warm up by shooting corner pins, she started to get upset because "I wasn't trying to do my best".

Well I hope I win this ball. I think I'll give laying it out myself try.

Shoot if I had the extra $$$ I'd get that KMT ball drilling jig and drill it myself.

[Florida Bowler]

I would love to learn how to lay out a ball. I've read a lot about it. I just haven't seen it done in the last 12 or 13 years.

[TheSheibs]

I'm torn on this one. If I win this ball, I wouldn't mind giving to my wife. On the other hand it could be interesting to try a different grip layout on it to see what would happen. Seems like there are some interesting grips out there that cause the ball to react
