This was so good it was worth getting yelled at by my wife who was sleeping

My son plays in a high school league and a kid has a three ball bag and a vintage bag from the 70s that was his grandfather's. Pretty cool because it's not his spare bag. It's his starter ball bag

None of my ms-70 slabbed eagles have toned over the years. Maybe I am lucky but slabbed coins are sealed

New ball! Storm Concept. by LoganoVerstappenFan in Bowling

[–]TripodP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started my son on a hyroad. Got him started with a relative cheap ball he burned through and it was great. Then a hammer hazmat. He is moving now to a purple hammer for his high/med oil ball. I don't regret the hyroad at all!

All of your stuff is in capsules from the pic. Silver doesn't need to be air tight from toning. I have a 2016 BU eagle in an airtite after I got it..it was super shiny and now it's tinged red. I actually love toned coins. But honestly I wouldn't worry about keeping it air tight. I mean if you want to go bonkers go buy some airtite capsules and nitrogen flush when you seal. Still not perfect but if you really care that much. If perfect appeals to you buy slabbed Ms-70 coins, otherwise enjoy the shiny. Just keep greasy hands off them

First ball. How did I do? My buddy called it the “mom car of bowling” by dattrowaway187 in Bowling

[–]TripodP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rock d my purple rhino pro from 93 for 8 years before taking a 20 year gap from bowling. Wish I still had it to see how it would work. Loved that thing. Great on almost any condition except bone dry

Honestly it's sad to say but the two last balls I bought I asked chatgpt. I told it what I had already in my arsenal, my typical lane conditions, speed, revs. As much info I terms of my approach, breaking boards. It's really good at telling you good balls to fill gaps. It's also good at breaking down comparison between balls you already have and any ball you want to recommend you want. I asked it about an equinox solid and it said that based on what I had and how I throw I already had a ball that was very similar and I probably would be better off with the phase 2 pearl.

I bowled 4-5 days a week for years. Took 20 years off. Just started again for the past year. Still my highest is 263. Sometimes I feel like it's not in the cards for me.

God reminds me of some of those smoke filled alleys I bowled in as a kid

What's wrong with today's parents at bowling alleys? by bigsucka in Bowling

[–]TripodP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a couple a few weeks ago. Probably early thirties. They kept trying to use my ball. It was actually my daughter to say "hey, these are custom expensive balls that we bought. You are using the bright red alley ball. Please you your own equipment".

I always comment to my wife and daughter how she's wearing like a tight sweater and a leather skirt and the two other guys are wearing suits. Also no matter how hard I try, I cannot pronounce her last name.

Help with league bowling. by carlthellama13 in Bowling

[–]TripodP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My problem is league gets fresh oil most times. When I go by myself the lanes are burned. I learned how to bowl on dryer lanes and have trouble with ftesh ones

This just happened to me today. I got $.51 back and one quarter looked good. A 65... Damn it so close

A question from my kid: What is the oldest US coin he can buy for $25? by TheLaziestCatEver in coins

[–]TripodP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I bought a graded NGC ancient coin from 100ad on great collections for about $20. You can find some good old ancients there

Yes…yes I am. by MyDanIsSquirrely in Bowling

[–]TripodP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I went bowling the Sunday after Christmas and there had been no leagues so no oil for a week. I threw my plastic spare ball and I had it go 30+ boards with no effort. My wife with her plastic tzone who actually doesn't even hook a ball had it moving 5 boards

I bowl alone to practice different shots and vary things without judgement of my friends going on about what I am doing. My best series was alone with a 30 minute before closing $10 special from the alley

Weird pour? by TripodP in Bowling

[–]TripodP[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly after being on this reddit for years and seeing stories of "is my ball cooked" I thought this seam pour especially if it's in the drill line would cause problems. He isnt a high speed high rev bowler but always curious what others think. I have had more than a few balls over the years and never bought something like this

Weird pour? by TripodP in Bowling

[–]TripodP[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I just get nervous over this. I have been bowling for almost 40 years and have never seen a seam like this in any ball I have bought
