Just wanted to share a personal achievement, been bowling in a scratch tournament that puts sport shots out for about 3 years now, haven’t made cut once till today, bowled the end of the year thing and i finally put my reps to work, had a very good line to pocket 1st 3 and just grinded the last 3 of 6 for a +48 overall on a 44ft 1:1 pattern, thank you coach for getting me where i’ve been trying to get to, honestly think my funk i’ve been dealing with has just been because i’ve been on nothing but the house shot and i just ain’t that killer on house and i’m fine with that if it means i can compete on sport shots!

I am practicing with the Phaze II. I've only ever thrown it one other time. I have never in my life bowled a 300. I've only got front 10 once. I just went 299 to 300 back to back. This won't happen in league or tournament but I'll take it!

Always shoot for count

Welp might need to work on somethings but a house shot i’m gonna take with a grain of salt, just couldn’t find carry with my reactive stuff so my dumb behind went to my plastic ball during league this evening, got lazy in the 2nd game but other than that I’m feeling decent about my game, just kinda wish I could throw reactive stuff on a house shot without it going so over-under for me🤣🤣 but tis what it is, the pins don’t care what you throw just so long as hit the angle right.

What’s the most bowling balls you’ve bought in a weeks time or short amount of time.. I think I have a problem 😅😅😅 I love seeing what the difference in the reactions of new equipment as it comes out. This past week I ordered the nu blue and the new 2.0 to see where they might fit in my bag.. I think the blue will be helpful for tournaments when the lanes are totally shot. Then I couldn’t fight the urge to order the solid and pearl no mercy’s that release later this week.. good thing I’m not married and Tony have to listen to the wife about my spending addiction

15lb versus 14lb is there that much difference in carry? Is there that much difference in the rev rate. If you went from 14lb to 15lb would you have your balls drilled to the same layout as to where the pin location is. I’ve been bowling about 3 months now.. I bowl a lot 5-7 days a week 4-5 nights I bowl league. Every other Saturday I’m bowling tournaments. I started with a average in the 130’s now I’m averaging 160 in league I’m normally bowling 30 pins above my average each night and my average is creeping on up. I throw 40-50 percent strikes and get a lot of 9 counts. Would going up in weight help that 9 count turn into a few more strikes? My high game a few Mondays ago is 275. I’m getting to where I throw more and more 600 series.. I’ve gotten to where I make a lot of my spares and getting a lot better at my 6 and 10 pin pick ups. Thanks for your help and time.
