899 with Cell Pearl!!!!
« on: October 14, 2008, 07:17:50 AM »
Hey guys, check this out!

AJ Calderon of Somis, CA. had no idea when he purchased a Cell Pearl that he would have the chance of a lifetime on Monday night.  AJ, who was bowling in the Monday Night Scratch Classic at Wagon Wheel lanes, shot his 15th and 16th career 300 games to sit at 600 after 2 games.  He then proceeded to roll 11 more strikes to close in on the coveted 900 series.  Needing only 1 more strike for bowling immortality AJ calmly stepped up to the line.  "I threw a good ball and thought I had done it," commented Calderon.  With many bowlers standing by, hoping to see history, AJ left a ringing 10 for an near perfect 899.  AJ not only set a house record with the Cell Pearl but also set the Ventura County record.  "I got the ball because I have a tendency to leave a lot of 10 pins.  I told Jeff (Massey) that I wanted something that had a little sharper backend and he recommended the Cell Pearl," said AJ.  "I only got the ball 2 weeks ago, and have only used it 3 times." he said. The 899 series beat's Calderon's previous high set of 837.

Awesome to hear that, thanks for sharing. I couldn't imagine how heartbreaking it would be to see that 10 pin stand and fight.

That's just brutal, man. I couldn't imagine stepping up with the front 35, I'd be so nervous it wouldn't even be funny. Great set for him, though.

I would imagine the largest Depends undergarment would be the only thing I'd wish for if I had the front 35.

Wow, congrats to AJ!!  The man is a quality bowler, and I have the pleasure of going up against him in our Wednesday night scratch league.

When he gets locked in, it's not unusual for him throw telephone numbers, but 899 is a completely new level.

BTW, for clarity, it's "Ventura County" instead of "Oxnard County.

Anyway, congratulations AJ Calderon!!

Righty
High rev rate (400-450 rpm)
Semi-high speed (16-17 mph)
Current Average: 236

For a game based on the principles of science and math, bowling sure does have a bad habit of being illogical.

Don't kid yourself.. This ball does NOT act like a Pearl ball for me. Its the strongest Pearl I have ever thrown.. I would find a spot for it if I where you..
