I went to the bowling alley today (to bowl, but mainly because they have a change machine so I could get quarters to do my laundry). Turns out they had an Ebonite Demo Days thing going on there, and they had space in the last squad to go, so I decided to do that.
I got to try five or six different bowling balls, to see what worked well for me. After going through four that I didn’t really like, I picked up the V2 Strong. After an open in the first frame, I proceeded to throw nine strikes in a row, and the next shot was just a hair high and left the 4 pin, which I picked up. Finished the game with a 268, which I didn’t realize until after I got home is actually my high game (previously 264). I threw that with a ball I just picked up for the first time. My next two games with it were 210 and 198, and I wasn’t really trying to make spares when I left them. I had no choice but to order one of those bowling balls, since I’ve been thinking about getting a new one anyway. I even ended up ordering the 15lb version (instead of the normal 16lb that I use) because that’s what I used today.
Hopefully, it wasn’t just a one time thing. I don’t think it was, since I was doing really badly with the other balls I tried. I also threw my regular one so I could compare the lane conditions to a ball I was familiar with. I think I’m gonna like it.

I had the same problem with bleeding, although being a girl I’m sure my nails were a good bit longer than yours. I eventually got a ball of my own (pink with a Lisa Simpson etching) and I’ve found that once I get in a strike groove with that ball I can carry it for the rest of the game without losing blood. Plus how cute is it to have Lisa on my ball? I can even match her outfit if I want to. 😉
In any case, it’s worth the investment, for your game and the inherent aesthetic value.
Thanks for the Sesame Street security level button by the way. I’ve been using it for months and I love it. Way to be an operator for the Rainbow Connection. 🙂
