Default New to the forums

Just wanted to finally say hello to all. I have been reading quite regularly and decided to finally post. I have been using hammer products for some time now. My first one was the purple hammer and soon moved to the 3D.
Right now in the bag...Bws, toxic, anger, angular one and was looking at the pearl. I bowl a Mondays and Wednesdays in handicap leagues which is not exactly what I was looking for but there are no scratch leagues to speak of. Just do not have the caliber of bowlers in these parts. Plus, if you grew up here in cheeseland you typically will be moving out of the area. The only scratch league to speak of is our traveling summer league, soon to be starting. It is 40 minute drive one way but it is worth the travel.

I usually average around from 195-205 but to bowl in 4 different houses against some of the better bowlers around it sure does get ya going...And of course we finally won the league last year. It is only 4 man teams but it pays better than anywhere I have ever bowled. Usually it is $2000 for first but we had some trouble with some teams backing out so if I remember right I think we got $900 or $1000. Still worth the $15 per week!

How much does your leagues tend to pay for first?

Mondays (10 teams) and Wednesdays (16 teams) are $12 each and are 5 person teams. It usually does not pay out very well because most of the cost is for lineage. Our summer leagues is like 90% prize fund payout.

It was funny though, we would never win a half or the league but at the end of the year we would be overall like 5th place but we would always have more wins than any other team. More wins = more $!
