Went to go practice today and first 2 games were 230 something and a 190 something. The third game I hit the first three shots flush to start off with a turkey, then the 4th I hit dead flush and left a 8 pin which I missed because my Doom hooked more than I thought it would, I kept hitting the pocket flush every shot, then I left a 9 pin which I picked up with no problem, then I hit the next couple shots flush, then I left a flat ten which I missed :mad: , then struck out the rest of the way for a 219 or something like that. I just couldn't believe I threw 12 quality shots and only had a 219. I thought I should of had a 300. It will come eventually I guess. I just have to be patient.

It even happens to the pros! There are an amazing number of variables to "Ten in the pit"

Yep. Guess it just wasn't meant to be for me yet.

Dont you know the 9 is the new 10. I left so many damn solid 9's on dead flush its it aint funny.

To the OP, keep at it man, it will come. I was only bowling for about 6 months seriously before I got mine, so I think I was kinda lucky, but who aint when shooting a 300.

it's cause you were throwing the worst ball ever invented! hahaha j/k


but keep at it, they'll start carrying. just make sure you throw your first 3 in sanction. there's nothing worse than having to print out your scores just to prove you got a 3, and no ring. trust me...lol

It's a very versitle ball for me. It's runs more of a continuous break rather then the No Mercy which has a huge back end turn to the pocket.
That was my normal ball I started with B4 purchasing the NM.
On a house shot, fresh oil, I usually started with it standing about 22 throwing at 8 board out to 4 and it came in nice at about 16 mph.
There are quite a few guys in my league that have one of these in their arsenal.

When someone is running a string of strikes and leaves a 8 or 9 pin(the only true "taps") we just say "too much ball for this little house".

Too much dwelling on getting "robbed" and the rest of your game will suffer.
