Now you know I have to give you a hard time. I am not letting this texting world get the better of you. Don't let yourself succumb to the bad habits of todays kids. Bad grammar and spelling may stop you from getting a job in the future.

So, first you need to know the difference between new and knew. And then you need to know when to use an apostrophe. (That's and don't)

For desided, I will let you slide this once. But it should be decided.

The English language is kind of dumb, but if you want to be recognized for a potential job in the future, it is very important.

So you wanted me to reply, and I did. Hope you liked it... :-P

How often do you play? Are you in the 80's/90's yet? I have only broken 100 twice, and they were on a par 70 and a par 71.

Does Charlie Hoff golf? I am thinking a little foursome in the near future. You, me, Ruocco and Hoff.

I actually have a couple that I use depending on how badly my wrist is hurting at the time. I prefer bowling without a wrist support, but as a computer programmer and outright lazy slob, I do not have enough wrist strength.

For an in between I use an Air Command, it is light weight and has flexibility. I have removed the metal piece that is in the palm because I do not like how it feels. The metal supports are held in by a velcro opening.

When my wrist is really hurting, I move to a Powerkoil wrist support that really locks me in to a position.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi Vince,

We make them ourselves using a Thumb Mold. Checkout TalkBowling for a description.

Hi David,

Yes, you can find your PAP from the track on your bowling ball. We only showed one way of doing it in the video, for people that do not have access to pro shop supplies such as grease pencils.

The other way to find the PAP is to trace the flare ring the is closest to your thumb hole, not the middle of the flare. This ring should be the track the ball starts on and then flares from there.

Once the track is marked, you have a couple of options. 1) Put the ball in a ball spinner and try to get the line to rotate horizontally. Then tap a grease pencil on the very top of the ball. This is your PAP. 2) The other way is to draw three or four lines perpendicular to the tracing. Where all of these intersect on the opposite side of the ball is your PAP.

Hope this helps...

John

Nope, I didn't polish the Virtual Gravity, Brian polished his up. I threw both ball with the Out of Box (OOB) finish.

Great analysis of the ball. I was extremely impressed by the versatility of this ball. It doesn't hook quite as much as the Virtual Gravity, but it definitely gets down the lane and hooks great.

I really like the hybrid coverstock. I was a little timid at first, not quite knowing what to expect. But the ball rolled phenomenally.

I am not envious of the decision ahead of you. Between the Virtual Gravity and the Rogue Cell, I don't know if I could choose. The VG just feels so right in my hand, and hooks a ton. But the Rogue Cell was very impressive my first few games out. We didn't shoot anywhere near the same amount of footage to put this video together. It just struck very well for us. We actually ended up with a ton of great footage, it was hard to pick what to include.

Hey Brad,

I am not sure what happened. It appears to be working now. Can you confirm for me?
