Been a looooonng time since I was on leagues, ( 6 years or so ) and I need a new ball and shoes.. Been looking at the Brunswick Evil Siege, but just wondering what other ppl throw..??

Been on leagues since I was about 8 yrs old , and when I quit in 2004 I was averaging 206-208, and have a medium to heavy rev speed depending on conditions . Not great but by that point WE were all out of Juniors and in adult league, and was introduced to this new sport.. Bowling with alcohol ://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif ..

But now Im an old man, and Its time to get back in the game again..

I've got this one @ 16lb. I love it except when I go with friends to different bowling alleys with "not so slick" lanes, the ball will hook before I want it to. I love it but I figured out quick that the more hook it has doesn't make it right for you. Its always gonna be up to the style bowler you are.

Those are the shoes ive got. I always have someone asking me where I got them. Can't really say they are great shoes because they are the only shoes I've ever had, but keeps me from having to rent some.

I've always been semi-interested in bowling...my dad tried to push me into it when I was younger but I never got that into it. He on the other hand used to be pro. He's bowled three 300 games, one of which was during a tournament and he got this huge diamond ring for it. He's also bowled an 800 series which he still says is more difficult than a 300 game because you have to be hot for 3 games in a row. But yeah, he used to like go to Vegas and bowl in those tournaments that are on TV and shit...

Yea man , bowling back in the day was just a time to get out and do something with friends.. Still the same now, just a chill sport for the most part.. I had my first 300 when I was 16, and ended up with a 717.. Highest seties was 738, So you can see how good of a day I had 14 yrs ago .. dayum.. i am fucking old //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Yea I like heavy oil lanes cuz I have a really Hi rpm spin, and when I have something that comes back heavy at the tail end I usually hit hi.. So sometimes its tough and I have to spend about 5 frames to set up a different mark.. If I threw that ball you linked in my usually position It would be a 6/10 hit lol..

i was looking at the Hammer black widows, Venon sting and nasty.. Tough to tell how they roll without actually throwing them, So I just try to look for ppl on leagues that have a similar style I do, that throw them
