Bowled with Chitown last night...
« on: June 10, 2006, 07:28:12 AM »
We finally hooked up and bowled a few games.
The retun was mostly filled with Raw Dooms.
Had a lot of fun. I think Chitown did, also.
He's is right about altering the cover on the Dooms.I think hae is set up for next season...

I used my Raw Doom and EPX-T1...I hsot 708 with the Raw Doom, switched to the EPX which just did not carry the same as the Doom.
I shot 250-something the last game with the Doom, could have  shot 300 except for a stubborn 7 pin and a stubborn 3 pin.

I'm thinking of buying another Doom, and knocking the polish off the cover, for heavier oil. I imagine that would work as well as buying a PAIN.

Chi, good bowling once, you found out there was an arrow left of 3rd.

I left my cell phone at the lanes, they called me this morning, and told me they had it. Kudos to Mike at Lombard Lanes. I never expected to see my new Razor again.

Nice, if you and the Chi wanna make it up to the Niles/Morton Grove area, I'm sure I can grab some of the other posters from that area and we can throw some games...

It was a great time shooting with Rich and some of his friends.  Rich kicked my butt all night with my favorite ball(doom).  The pin action was just incrediable.  Great shooting Rich!  That EPX rolled really nice as well.

Rich you should definatly get another Doom and have it drilled exactly like the one you have but just knock the polish off of it.  

This was the second time I hooked up with Rich.  He's a great bowler and when he finds his line look out.

I'm game for setting some thing up this summer.

Andrew,

I live in Edison Park, and practice at Niles every other week or so, during the winter. I shoot at Classic a few times a year.

It would be cool to put faces to some names...

Chi, thanks for the compliments...I'm just an old house hack...who can get it together for a few frames here and there...Your Hoinke performance this year, shows that you can throw a few strikes, yourself.

I will probably get another Doom or I may buy the Pain, since it's about the same price.

You were talking about getting a dry lane ball...The Vibe is a great a ball.

I would not mind showing my face here and there either.  I bowl on the Northwest side of Chicago.  Mont Clare, WoodDale, and soon to be Niles Zone.  Love to put some faces to some names.  Would be nice to see Loose, again.

I may be up for an unofficial N Illinois get together, though I'm a lousy bowler!

Well lmk when and I will be there. I bowled at Niles once, a few weeks ago on a Wednesday night and the counter guy was very rude. I bowled one game (247) and left because I was so irritated by the guy. Does the shot play in at niles? Say 5th arrow?

How about this.  Lets get a list of names going on this post to see who's game for a night of bowling some pot games.

I'm in for sure I just need advance notice because of my schedule.  I prefer a weekend night.

I'm just amazed!  Unbelievable...lol

About the shot at Niles, you can swing the ball at Niles and play in, the ball will recover, but you'll be in 10 pin heaven the majority of the night (unless you crank up on the ball, right Coop? )  It may have been playing that far in b/c it's the summer and they oil usually right before the big summer leagues and that's about it (maybe twice a week...and definitely NOT on the weekends...)

I'm down for getting a Northern IL list together, I would probably need a little advance notice as well, but nothing too major

I'm retired, so I am pretty flexible. can bowl most week days or nights...Busy on some weekends.

Is anyone up for bowling at Elk Groove Bowl, it may be centrally located, close to I90, etc. (Arlington Heights Rd. & Rte 72)?

I'm out of town from June 22nd until July 4th. After that, pretty open.

How does Saturday, July 8th sound?
Just throwing out a date.
