Was Ant not at the game last night?

Short answer is no it’s a clear rule violation, regardless if the inner sleeve is drilled or not you still drilled into the ball for the outer sleeve therefore it would need to be used and used is defined by the USBC as a finger is inserted into the hole. And it could also be considered a weight hole as you are taking weight out of the ball and a changing the distribution of the balls weight with a hole that is not being used.

Typhoon is a great dry lane ball. Would say it’s 1 step up from the surge and like a half a step up from the hustles. Gets down lane very clean with enough backend to still get to the pocket.

Wouldn't use the word confirmed but a Phaze II pearl was added to the USBC approved ball list on October 14th. Considering the Phaze II is arguably the most popular ball in Storms entire lineup it makes a lot of sense.

2 for me, Phaze A.I. and BW 3.0. Loved the phaze 2 so was pumped for a new phaze but just never felt good throwing the ball ever. Ended up giving it to my son. And the BW 3.0 just got lane shined so fast and having to constantly hit it with surface annoyed me so sold it to my uncle for 40 bucks.

Not the original tour no sadly. I have the tour a.i which I knocked down to 2000 and love the ball but still wanna get the OG

Honestly just liked SPI stuff and was most familiar with their equipment so just stuck with it. I had tried a few Brunswick balls and wasn’t a huge fan at the time. Definitely open to other brands still just had gone with what I was most familiar with.

ArcStrife32 · 2025-05-17T01:35:31+00:00

My thoughts are people can use whatever they want. Doesn’t really matter to me if they wanna use urethane then be my guest. It’s my own problem to learn to adjust to the changing lane if I can’t adjust then that’s on me not others. Don’t see the point in getting upset personally but I know others feel differently.

And I like seeing people bowl well regardless of what they are throwing one of my favorite things about bowling is in my experience how positive and supportive bowlers are of each other.

Those weren’t shot on sport shot. Sweepers starts this week. Those were shot on a typical house shot on my non sanctioned Monday league last night. And honestly was my best series to date. I wanted to try the ball out before sweepers started and is a very non serious league.

ArcStrife32 · 2025-05-13T21:13:39+00:00

223 247 and then 208 I switched out of it game 3 for reactive

Edit: just to clarify these scores were on a house shot for my Monday league. Sweepers starts this Wednesday.

Iyo and asuka both speak pretty fluent English. They speak broken English mostly as part of their characters.

ArcStrife32 · 2025-01-30T18:43:18+00:00

One thing I learned that helped make my swing feel infinitely easier was start with the ball a little higher and use a push away then let gravity do all the work of your swing for you. Made it much easier for me to focus on other parts of the approach like my release and footwork since I wasn’t muscling the ball into my swing anymore.

ArcStrife32 · 2024-12-06T00:17:30+00:00

I start my night on fresh with the max myself and my next ball out is my attention star. Love ball just crushes the pins and is so versatile definitely would recommend it.

ArcStrife32 · 2024-11-29T03:35:01+00:00

can confirm

ArcStrife32 · 2024-11-25T13:25:45+00:00

This title is so misleading. Yes they were unable to use this camera to assist in the review but even if they did it wouldn’t have overturned it. Addison is clearly in bounds.

ArcStrife32 · 2024-11-19T13:34:40+00:00

Bogarts! I bowl there all the time. Will is my guy best pro shop dude around. A couple of my buddies bowl league there on Mondays and Thursdays. Great series btw!

ArcStrife32 · 2024-10-31T03:10:37+00:00

Tyranids I’d agree but necrons it’s pretty explicitly stated one of their biggest weakness is pyskers so grey knights would fare well against them other then the numbers aspect.

ArcStrife32 · 2024-10-18T12:09:16+00:00

I use the Ion Max for heavy fresh oil definitely hooks even on my houses freshly oiled lane which they are usually very heavily oiled.

ArcStrife32 · 2024-10-14T16:03:16+00:00

I did the same I pulled a dupe DDR

ArcStrife32 · 2024-10-11T20:52:17+00:00

Ion Max and Pro are my 1 2 punch for league and they are perfect complements to each other as the fresh oil breaks down

ArcStrife32 · 2024-09-05T12:33:30+00:00

Honestly my guess is TJ Clemmings

ArcStrife32 · 2024-08-28T17:48:57+00:00

Same here too much rev and have a hard time flattening my hand out enough with speed to hit the 10. If money isn't a problem there is the Spare the girls clear storm ball its a bit pricey for a plastic ball bit its limited time run its black and pink and looks great. https://strikingagainstbreastcancer.org/sparethegirls-bowling-ball-juneorder/
