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!

Seriously though, welcome to the 800 club, no you got both monkeyys off your back.


St. A's was a lil bit easier than Reno I imagine!  LOL

Congratulations!  Not just inching past 800 either.  Would have been a heck of a triplicate - you couldn't have thrown off the last shot of the second game?
