I would be against powder all over my or somebody else's room and against somebody putting food into my bowling ball.

I've gotten people with the exploding golf ball before. I think that is a harmless prank.

Let me see if I got this right.
Steve comes on here to claim that hazing is wrong.
Then he goes on to describe the hazing he has done in his recent past... But its ok because everyone thought it was funny, everyone except the person being pranked...
Then he told a black guy to get off the porch.
Then he made a short bus joke, which always comes off as appropriate.
Then he takes some shots at the ladies of csfmb.
But none of that is bullying... Which he said is bad, which isn't at all hypocritical.

The lesson here is that Steve is a shallow sack of crap that truly hates not being accepted, and severely lacks the self awareness to accept that fact.

I know we have some pretty damn good bowlers on this board. Guys with 190-210 averages if I remember correctly. That's not easy!

good call on the yayo and weed, bowling is like sex with a bbw, best performed in a less than sober state.

I suppose I should also add that mr. Antihazing/bullying is calling me white trash in every post with his sig, but hey everyone thinks that its hilarious. But that's not bullying. Or anything like it. Just fun pranks!

That is one of the six that I am currently considering:

Columbia Antics
Track 912T
Motiv Primal Rage
DV8 Endless Nightmare
Storm Sync
Storm Marvel S

I'm switching to a 15 pound ball this time. Lighter ball means more speed, and more revolutions.

Marvel-S is a very good ball. You may find that it hooks a lot as oil starts to break down...meaning as you just go and bowl with your daughter, you may struggle to score with it. It's a lot of ball, but it's very highly rated on bowlingball.com.

I'm a big fan of the Storm products...have been for a long time. Got my wife throwing them too. Got one called the Sync back in early summer and threw a 289-299 back to back games in my summer league. Averaging about 190 with it currently.

Like I said, feel free to ask any questions you want. Also, use the videos on YouTube to your advantage. Especially search out the ball you have, and go from there.

I love my Sync. The pins just explode with that ball, and if you miss a little, you can get away with a good carry. I'm looking at getting a HyRoad Pearl for when lanes start breaking down at Poplar.

I think Richie is a bit racist for his own good

And I think Martin is too much of a woman for his own good.

_________________

I asked my guy in the pro shop which ball would be good for me. Those were the six he listed. It's time for a new ball. When I bought my current ball 7 years ago, the lanes at our house were dryer. I picked a ball that would roll longer, and snap on the back end. The patterns are oilier these days, so I want something with some punch, that I can really crank if need be.

Where's the euphemism thread

I've noticed that for awhile now as well. Even thought about that when he made the porch remark.

But in his mind he's a victim. Always the victim.

Hiding behind a claim of "they're just pranks"

Now, back to you guys talking about bowling setups. This amuses me to no end. Perhaps because I bowl like shit.

About how many games does it take for the oil pattern to break down?

It depends. If you have 8 or 9 right handed bowlers (I am right handed) throwing the same shot, you can be moving your feet a couple boards in the first game. One team in our league has four lefties. The lanes stay pretty much the same throughout the night.

Can you always tell right away?

As soon as the ball snaps more than the last shot, they are breaking down, and you need to adjust.

And by crank, I meant jerk off. I usually jerk off on my teammates' towels. Nothing like some harmless hazing. But, I have never engaged in any hazing.

It really depends on how heavy the oil the house puts down. You will be able to tell when you are hitting your mark and the ball is coming right through the head pin. That is when it's time to start adjusting your line and/or mark to find the pocket. The type of ball comes in to play as well. A ball that is shiny is not going to hook in oil where a dull ball will. A shiny ball will work better on dry lanes.

I never suggest putting the ball in the polishing machine. Those things should be destroyed.



The Sync is selling for like 99 bucks on Bowlingball.com...I think.
