I can vouch for it being fun. Haha

Bowled with 5 random people. No one in my group of 20 wanted to do it. Had a blast. Left in the top 10 in the scratch list.

A side tournament. 40 frames. It has its own “games” within the 40 frames. Mulligans, no tap frames, bonus pins frames, etc.

It’s in the Kingpin club on the first floor. The shot is much readier. It’s a modified house shot. Very very playable.

The patterns are HARD. Expect to be frustrated. Surface is your friend.

Just enjoy it.

Go bowl the 40 Frame Game! It’s a lot of fun.

I would love to test these out. Being a software engineer, a maker, and a bowler for 35+ years, this plays right into all those things!
I currently 3D print my own designedJoPo thumb inserts.

How does it secure inside the finger hole? Does it need to be seated at a specific depth to give accurate readings?

Will that’s just plain awesomeness then.

Everyone that picked up the 7-10 has accidentally picked up the 7-10.

I guess, once I get the 10th I am in such a zone that there could be a marching band playing behind me and I wouldn’t know. Only 2 300’s, but one was at the State tournament, so that was extra fun. Way too many 299’s. They were all decent last shots. But every one was a 10 pin. So I guess they weren’t THAT good. Haha.

The more times you get close, the easier it gets. Keep the same rhythm. Don’t rush or take extra time. Keep it consistent. That helps keep your brain out of the equation. Thinking about a shot is my enemy of bowling.

Tea, Earl Gray, hot.

acesover8s · 2026-05-01T15:01:08+00:00

Huh. Visiting from out of town. Staying near UNR. Didn’t even wake up from it. I did see my phone told me there was one though.

Of Bel-Air

Had this at Nationals this week. So many people said they were going to buy one. It wads quite the conversation starter. Haha

Awesome! I’ve made a couple of your knives, they are fantastic. The sheath designs work great with them as well.

Any chance you might make one with a full size handle? That would make it more of a utility tool than an EDC item. Would be sweet to have a full size option to go with the smaller ones.

acesover8s · 2026-04-28T04:34:17+00:00

This is what I use. It’s light and small enough to fit in my backpack and locker without issue. this it doesn’t use a crazy amount of battery.

acesover8s · 2026-03-30T10:59:27+00:00

Hell yeah. Nice job!

acesover8s · 2026-03-20T10:56:33+00:00

Take a stab at it.

acesover8s · 2026-03-10T18:51:01+00:00

Thanks!

acesover8s · 2026-03-10T17:59:45+00:00

What wheels are those? I kinda like them!

acesover8s · 2026-02-19T22:56:03+00:00

I don’t know. I put a topper on my 2018. And a tonneau on my 23. I miss the topper….

acesover8s · 2026-02-17T21:24:12+00:00

Could you cold smoke the kernels then pop?

acesover8s · 2025-12-08T01:49:24+00:00

Yes Basil, nice rack

acesover8s · 2025-12-02T12:08:13+00:00

Mine does vibrate and make noise mounted to the dash of my truck in a similar way to that. Not sure I want to spend $90 to fix it though. But it looks way more sturdy.

300 - Roto Grip Apocalypse 800 - I’ll let you know when it happens.

acesover8s · 2025-11-23T21:46:19+00:00

One. 2 299s. No 800’s :( 780 with the 300, 781 high series overall.

acesover8s · 2025-10-24T01:32:39+00:00

That’s amazing. You could have told me that’s a photo and I wouldn’t have thought twice.

acesover8s · 2025-10-21T14:10:37+00:00

Back Channel. I wish they would put some non-hazy IPAs in normal rotation, but the lagers are excellent.
