I posted this on my original thread but I think it got over looked.
Hi Everyone, i wanted to give you all an update and Thank you all again for your help.
I was able to get a hold of an old bowling friend who is the secretary of a Thursday night men's league to see if he had any opening at that time he didn't but took my number. He called me the next week and said someone had quit, he held the spot for me since I couldn't make it that week.
So the first week I used my Faball Purple Hammer, well being out of league for several years and this being the same house I used to bowl at. I was surprised when I walked into the place it had been all remodeled and the wood lanes replaced with synthetic lanes. I found that I didn't get as much of a hook with this and a little out of practice, I actually didn't do too bad, I had 185, 146, 214 for a total of 545. The second game I didn't adjust quick enough and a little fatigued.
Before the second week I went to a local pro shop that I had already gone into to get some info. and ordered a BWP and an Anger. They ended up having to order the Anger after saying they had one in stock. But they were able to get the BWP measured and drilled for me to use. So with no practice with it before league I used it the whole nite to get use to it. Big difference I ended up throwing 226, 182, 192 for a 600. Nice ball.
The Pro shop called me Monday which was the 31st and said well since it is close to my work and I live cross town I waited and picked it up on Wed. The owner had to apologize for his assistant put the wrong initals on ball and could fix it but it would take a couple days. Well I told him that I would take it and try it out and bring it back Friday to fix it. Well before league started I had gotten some info from one of the fellow bowlers that is pretty good,and found out that the house oil is usually light to medium. I went and used the Anger anyways because I wanted to see what it did. Well all I can say is wow - 223, 268, 224 for a 715. That was my all time high game and series. The first game started 8/ 9/ then 5 X's only open was the 10th. The second I started with 7 X's 9/(ringing 10), 9/ (solid 7) XXX. All I can say is I think I am going to like these new balls.
Still to come is most likely the CV and some sort of spare ball. I may add to that down the road but I think that be good for now, also I decided to go with 15#. Sorry this turned out to be a novel
