		<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>While this isn&#8217;t my high series, it is for AMF Deltona Lanes.  </p>
<p>I started the night with my <a href='http://www.bowlingball.com/hammer-black-widow-bowling-ball.html' target='bowlingball.com'>Hammer Black Widow</a>.  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.</p>
<p>Second game I changed to the <a href='http://www.bowlingball.com/storm-hy-road-bowling-ball.html' target='bowlingball.com'>Storm Hy-Road</a>. With a couple of really bad shots I squeeked out a 195.  So going into the third game I was -4.  </p>
<p>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&#8230;</p>
<p>In the third game a continued to use the <a href='http://www.bowlingball.com/storm-hy-road-bowling-ball.html' target='bowlingball.com'>Storm Hy-Road</a>.  I started spare in the first frame, and strike in the second.  In the third frame I decided to just throw the <a href="http://www.bowlingball.com/bowling-balls.html">bowling ball</a> 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.</p>

I had the opportunity to try the Storm Hy-Road 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 had the opportunity to try the <a href='http://www.bowlingball.com/storm-hy-road-bowling-ball.html' target='bowlingball.com'>Storm Hy-Road</a> 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.</p>
<p>I drilled the <a href='http://www.bowlingball.com/storm-hy-road-bowling-ball.html' target='bowlingball.com'>Storm Hy-Road</a> with the pin 3 3/8&#8243; from my Positive Axis Point, which puts the pin to the right on my ring finger.  I put a 1&#8243;x2&#8243; weight hole 6&#8243; from my center line straight through the CG.</p>
<p>I shot my first 600 series in weeks with this ball.  Averaging only in the 180&#8217;s, I usually score in the 540&#8217;s.  </p>
<p>Storm and Roto-Grip have been making some great bowling balls recently.  The <a href='http://www.bowlingball.com/storm-virtual-gravity-bowling-ball.html' target='bowlingball.com'>Storm Virtual Gravity</a> and the <a href='http://www.bowlingball.com/storm-hy-road-bowling-ball.html' target='bowlingball.com'>Storm Hy-Road</a> are perfect compliments to each other.</p>
<p>The video will be released soon.</p>
