I shot mine on September 10, 2001.  For some reason my parents were watching me test out a brand new Vicious.  Third game out of the box BAM! 300!  The next day was not so good.  Congrats on the first one!

Congrats on the 300...shot my first when I was 18..9 months after I started bowling.

Not going to bash you for having too many balls....I personally think at your age you shouldn't have more than 4 to carry so you can learn to play different shots.

but....

If you're going to carry that many balls you should reevaluate what kind of versatility you have.  Every ball but your spare ball is a high end super aggressive ball with an asymmetrical core.  You can't possibly have much variety of motion down the lane with 7 high mb differential balls.

i know there all high-end balls, but i have them drilled to do certain thing. for example, my Twisted Fury is drilled really weak and is for dry lanes. my virtual energy is drilled for med-dry to med-heavy lanes. and my one pearl works on everything oh, and the fury is symmetrical so it doesn't have a mass bias.

Why would you drill a twisted fury for dry lanes? There are lots of other balls on the market better suited for dry lanes.

Like I said....it shows your lack of versatility.  If I had a guess you are good at playing between 3rd and 4th arrow, and most of the tournaments you bowl have lane conditions that let you play there.

I'm not trying to bash you....merely stating a fact.  You need some more verstatility in your lineup, and to narrow it down.

I would agree put your arsenal in your profile. Looking at your listed equipment makes me sick. I just can''t see a 13 yr old having that much stuff. Then on top of it all being so top end heavy.
I have seen more and more of the younger players just jumping between different equipment. They do not take the time to learn how to ajust to different lane conditions. I am 36 years old started out with a Brunswick Twister and moved up from there. I have had to learn how to adjust just like many people my age and older. Having all this equipment now that will more or less do the job for you has hurt the younger bowlers. Almost all of them are expecting to be able to 190 to 200 with out trying. I have heard many young bowlers talking about how if they don''t strike they got robbed no matter how bad of a ball they threw. Maybe I am in the wrong I don''t know. I am waiting for my son to be old enough that I can start working with him on how to adjust and read the lanes as best as I can do it. I am not that great at it but I can still pass it on to my son. This seems to be a lost art with some of the younger bowlers.
Oh yeah shot my first and only 300 9/19/94. It was my first year in men''s league.

i drilled my twisted fury for dry lanes because i had one when i was in 14# balls and it worked really good on dry lanes. the one i have now is a 15# and it works good on dry lanes too
