First 300 was with a red Hammer (urethane dull) in 1992...started the night with a pair of 180 somethin's, the pair's pinsetter broke down and we moved to the end pair that everyone hates, and I proceeded to put twelve together, all pocket hits. I don't mind that end pair anymore.
Last 300 was this year with a blue Tour Boss ti 2 that I punched an index hole and pinky hole in at home with a cordlees drill the night before scratch league because of a finger injury. I had to bowl to avoid forfeit needing three regulars, started with a surprising 220 game, won my point, and proceeded to put all in the hole with great reaction for a perfect second game...won 2 of 3 points and was high in the house with a 735 series...what a night, was laughing so hard I wasn't at all nervous like I was the first one...sure was weird feeling throwing a ball with all fingers and a thumb in it ! All the guys wanted to borrow my Dewalt and spade bits after that one !
