First 800 :)
« on: March 02, 2010, 01:29:58 PM »
278/279/278 = 835

Storm Virtual Energy (15lb)
Surface prep: 6 sides each step Abralon 360/500/1000/2000/4000 then polished with 3M Finesse II. (It''s a purdy marble)
Layout: 5.5 X 4 (pin over bridge, MB 1/2" right of thumb. No x-hole.

39'' THS a tad on the heavy side of medium volume.

Stand left, throw right. 18 at the arrows to 8 at the break point.

All those strikes and I did not break the bank. Left a wobbling 7-pin (in the 5th frame of the last game) that had to be stood back up as it was 1/2 way over when the rack took it out. That $800 would have come in handy. That''s OK though. I am on cloud nine right now. I can''t wait to get back on the lanes tomorrow night!

Not that it matters much these days, but my first 300 was shot a couple months ago in a different house. You can call me a THS-wall-baby, but not a house-hack! LOL!

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the feedback.
I almost fulfilled my own prophecy. I have been telling my wife for the last three years that I would shoot three 279s in one set before I shot a 300. My first 300 was thrown exactly three months before last night's near-triplicate.

As for retiring the ball, we'll see how the new one rolls. If this one (or the Epicenter) rolls better, I will still throw it until something else comes along. Even though I have cut way back, I am still a ball whore
