    I Shot 647 in my Bowling League Last Night 

    While this isn’t my high series, it is for AMF Deltona Lanes.

    I started the night with my [bowlingball value="4444"/]. I love the way this ball rolls when 1) I roll it well, and 2) the lanes accept it. It goes so long and because of the solid black, you can see the transition so well. So I shot a 201 first game.

    Second game I changed to the [bowlingball value="6811"/]. With a couple of really bad shots I squeeked out a 195. So going into the third game I was -4.

    Note: What do I mean by -4? Most bowlers base scores on a 200 average. So after game one, I was +1. Game two I was -5, so I was averaging -4. So I needed to shoot 204 in the third game to shoot 600. Back to my bowling now…

    In the third game a continued to use the [bowlingball value="6811"/]. I started spare in the first frame, and strike in the second. In the third frame I decided to just throw the bowling ball into the gutter on the first ball. Somehow I rebounded a almost ran the sheet. I struck through the second ball in the tenth. My final score for the third game was 252, giving me a 647 series.

      But the gray boards are so much bigger and easier to hit.

      But thank you on the congrats. I am really working hard on my game. I spent this past weekend working on the approach. Went from an S6 sole to an S2 sole.

    The Storm Hy Road Bowling Ball 

    [bowlingball value="6811,i150r"/]
    I had the opportunity to try the [bowlingball value="6811"/] last night to shoot our next ball reaction video. I can say that I was very impressed with the reaction of this ball. I believe this is my first mid-performance bowling ball in a long time.

    I drilled the [bowlingball value="6811"/] with the pin 3 3/8″ from my Positive Axis Point, which puts the pin to the right on my ring finger. I put a 1″x2″ weight hole 6″ from my center line straight through the CG.

    I shot my first 600 series in weeks with this ball. Averaging only in the 180′s, I usually score in the 540′s.

    Storm and Roto-Grip have been making some great bowling balls recently. The [bowlingball value="6810"/] and the [bowlingball value="6811"/] are perfect compliments to each other.

    The video will be released soon.

      210 shooter. I threw it last night for the first time for 721 out of the box. Pin in the right ring finger. Great backend. Great carry. Feet were right. I like it!
