Storm - yes they are. Pardigm -fruity pebbles. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Paradigm is always first out of the bag and usually the only one. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

IF the others come out- Storm Trifecta is next, then the Storm Vertigo.

 

[hzsogood 5,000+ posts]

Yea im still waiting to choose.. Although most balls can be drilled to work the same im still in a debate

Ebonite Infinity one, Elite Alien, or Storm Paradigm ( Which is supposed to be (arromatherapy scent ) But fruity pebbles is ok too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I just want something thats gonna have a slight curve down the alley and then snap hard in the backend..

The Alien I have no experience with. With the Ebonites.."The ONE" has quite a snap in the backend and from what I understand the Infinity is much more aggressive. With that being said I dont think you would be let down at all going with a Paradigm either. On not so wet conditions Im forced to move quite a bit..layed down on 4-5 left out to 2-3 right for a high flush hit. If speed is not maintained I will go right through the nose. This is also due a bit to drilling, but nonetheless the ball will hold its own.

ROFL! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I just got back into bowling on a womens league. Havent done it since I got married bout 15 years ago. I can still hold a 145 average tho! ( I grew up in a family of bowlers--dad had me started at 7yrs old!)

Do you guys play strike/spare poker? Thats the best part..and the beer.....but your right....ITS **** EXPENSIVE! My league is $10 a night just to bowl-- I usually spend $$$ for poker..$1 per game, and food $7, then ya have to rent shoes because you are too broke to buy any (ya! --**** shoes are expensive now!) what the hell happened to the prices! HOLY COW! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Anyways....

Have fun with your new league!

Poker is one of the perks. Although in my one league its strikes only, the other is strike/splits.

WoW $10/week? I pay $22 and $18 ! Although the payout is quite enticing. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If you figure a normal winter league - 36 weeks X approx shoe rental...$3 = $108 better off buying a decent pair. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
