As a first responder I definitely wont take your word for it. Seeing near empty hospitals and ERs because people were scared to death to leave the house was real. Seeing people die at home from strokes and heat attacks and other preventable health issues because they were too scared to go to the hospital was very real.

The virus was real, the actual numbers was far less. What most people saw and lived in their day to day did not reflect the news and the governments portrayal because it wasn't the real world the rest of us were living in. Remember what you will it doesn't make it the reality the rest of us went to work in and lived in daily.





Like I said a few pages ago, people may think (for whatever social/political reasons they want) that this is a COVID was/is a joke or a scam, but at least in the bowling community there is one person we could trust with this as she took her downtime during the lockdown to put her life on the line to keep others infected by it alive, and that is Erin McCarthy.

We didn't, but most bowlers don't realize that outside of the PWBA she has a day job as a RN at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Methodist/Children's Hospital, in Omaha. She was on the frontlines with this and could definitely state and assert that this was real. The interview made with her, Aaron Smith, and Emil Williams is still posted here as well as at BowlTV, so people don't just have to take my word for it.

Over a million Americans died, you guys. Coronavirus was and continues to be real.

« Last post by PD300 on Today at 09:47:58 AM »
Storm The Road – WWRD 4/19/2024

Cover: ReX Hybrid Reactive
Core: Inverted Fe2 A.I. Core
RG: 2.55
RG. Diff.: 0.045
Finish: Reacta Gloss
Fragrance: Fruit Pop

Storm’s new The Road is a Hybrid Symmetric Piece.  This piece is good for Medium-Light Volume Patterns.  PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400.  Speed: 16.5.  Drilled this piece with the Pin Up between the Fingers and the CG kicked out 1 1/2” from the palm.  Burned up 43’ house pattern, Out of Box ball motion was clean through the fronts, with a controllable backend reaction.  I compared this piece to the original Hy-Road (2-2 Right).  The Road looked like it was a little sharper on the backend than the Hy-Road.  This piece fits between the Original Hyroad and the Hy-Road Pearl.  And It smells good too.  This is a Versatile piece that fits all styles of bowlers.

Diff.: 0.056 Finish: 2000-Grit Abralon Roto Grip’s new is a Symmetrical piece that is good for Medium Volume Patterns. PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400. Speed: 16.5. Drilled this piece with the Pin above the bridge and the CG kicked out 1” from the palm. I threw this piece on a burned up house 43’ pattern. Out of box ball motion was that it started early in the mids with a continuous motion on the backend. I compared this piece to the Hustle RIP (3-3 Right) and Tour Dynam-X (1-1 Right).

Beyond Ridiculous bowling gave me quite a good experience. On the lane, this bowling ball delivers a smooth and controllable hook, allowing players to make precise shots and adjust their game strategy according to lane conditions. Its versatile nature makes it suitable for a variety of lane surfaces and playing styles.

I've seen shady doings at the Bowler's Journal.  It happens at all levels.
The same problem can happen in any playground! It's not too surprising

I have used it to both short and medium sport patterns as well as Kegel Stonestreet, a longer league pattern.  Actually used it on that pattern a short while ago to shoot 300 and 800.  Mine has a 35 degree VAL angle drilled pin above the ring finger.

Starting to get back into bowling after a 10 yr absence.
The bowling alley and pro shop are no longer around so I’m looking for recommendations in the Orange County area for competent shops

56950 - 900 Global / Re: Harsh Reality Review
« Last post by Kyle.Johnson88 on April 24, 2024, 05:11:23 PM »
900 Global Harsh Reality
Cover: 2000 Grit Reserve Blend 902™ Solid Reactive
Core: Disturbance™ A.I. Core (Asymmetrical)
Color: Atomic/Graphite/Black

Review:
900 Global is really hitting the mark with their releases and we are excited for them to add another BIG and STRONG asymmetrical bowling ball. The original Reality which in our opinion is probably the best 900 Global ball every made and will look even better with the A.I. core technology. We drilled this ball with our normal layout: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 4x4x2 (pin is above bridge). This ball is a monster solid, yet still holds the predictability and versatility like we see in the SPI brands. This ball really holds a lot of energy and continuation through the pins even for burning up so much energy so quickly. This core is simplistic yet beefy and we love it for that reason. 2000-3000 grit pads really change the design and shape for some of our tournament players and compliments this cover very well. We look forward to drilling several of these bowling balls.
