Looks like a solid lineup all the way. How are you transporting that many bowling balls? And how many bags do you have? You putting your clothes in the bowling bags? :-)  It certainly looks like you have everything covered. Good luck at Nationals!

We always drive to Nationals, as it helps out the guys who fly. We always have a van full of balls .

For MC.

What line were you using with the SD-73 and Horizon Solid?

So odd how much of a difference the lane assignment at Nationals can make. I was on the same minors squad as Mark and Chip. I think they were around lanes 38 - 40. I was on 14 & 16.  They were able to use Solid Horizons and a particle pearl, the SHift; I had to use a Blue/Green Centaur, standing against the ball return, throwing as hard as I could and targetting 12/13 at the breakpoint, somwhere inside the 4th arrow at the arrows. Admittedly, throwing hard is not my forte and might not have resulted in the best execution; heck, even then, I'm not in Mark's or Chip's caliber of bowling. Wish I had brought my Venus to that squad; might have given me a fighting chance.

At one point, last game of doubles and 1st game of singles, I flushed 19 of 22 shots, missed one 10 pin, made 2 washouts and the 2/4/5 (when I missed the pocket) and shot 201 and 184 as my reward :

I'm going back to my crocheting now ....

Jeff,

Minors can be such a crap shoot with who rolled on them before and what they used.  

Never have the right ball.  I feel for ya man!
