Welcome back Mark!  Thanks for the post on the Teal.  I owed the net a
review on it.  I just talked to Steve last night and he told me *I* would
like the ball, so I knew it had alot of "over" :-)

I looked at the fourth round today - a few of them fell out of the cut
but most of them were still there.  Aulby and Parker still running 1-2
...Hoskins finished 48th.

It figures: Lefties get the "bone" in Vegas, and I'm in Jersey on business...
But hey, I cashed this week, and my expenses were reimbursed! :-)

Funny you should mention that.  A buddy of mine is the answer to a
trivia question:  Who was the first 5th place finisher to be bumped off
the show by the KotH format?  --- Tom Crites

Yes, they did consider the case where the champion of the week is also
the KotH - They revert to the most recent KotH for the "grand finale :-)"
What they did not consider (atleast did not mention in the original
announcement to the membership about the KotH format) was what happens if
the VERY FIRST KotH (aka Ron Williams) also wins the tournament?!  I guess
they'll go back to the prior week's KotH loser??  Or maybe Dave Ferraro,
the REAL KotH (if you consider he is the reigning Player of the Year in 1992).
(The later is purely my thoughts on the matter).

heh..heh..don't try this at home kiddies...he was a professional... ;-)

btw..if the houses aren't responsible for reactive resin balls being
damaged, doesn't it seem strange that they even sell them?  Or atleast
telling the customer that if they ball a reactive resin ball, they are
prone to damage from the ball returns, etc and that should be
considered prior to purchasing such a ball?  .........


nahhhh......

Stop it, you're making me drool...

I got a pink Hammer a little while ago to use as a dry lanes ball (no side/finger/
thumb weight at all), and it hooks like crazy on the end.  I was going to try drilling
all of the top weight out of it the next time I go home, but maybe I'll just get one of
these Sports Tec rocks instead...Hmmmmm.

This reminds me of a time when I was bowling league, and another 
league bowler had his ball damaged by one of the ball returns.
When the manager of the center told him that the center was not 
responsible for any damage suffered by his equipment, this
obviously pissed-off patron promptly went over to a large display
case that had a glass window/door and loudly proclaimed that if 
the center was not going to be responsible for damaging his property,
then *he* couldn't be responsible for what damage his ball was going to 
do to *their* property, while swinging the ball in the direction of 
the glass window.  He got a new ball, plus the old one repaired.

Maybe we will find out, our paper has Williams in 8th place after 12 games
this week!  Maybe he will have to bowl himself, or maybe bowl the second
place winner (again) for the KotH.

The final lefty/righty tally for Vegas turned out like this:

	-- Top 4 were left-handed;
	-- An astronomical 13 out of the top 23 (If Ken Muscato is left-
	   handed, make it 14 out of 24) were lefties;

Along with Aulby, Bohn III, Miller and Neuer on the show, positions 
5 through 24 went as follows:

	5. Tony Figuiera (L); 6. Bryan Goebel; 7. Walter Ray Williams II;
	8. John Mazza (L); 9. Kirk Von Krueger (L); 10. Jason Couch (L);
	11. Mark McDowell; 12. Randy Pedersen; 13. David Ozio; 14. Ricky
	Ward (L); 15. Joe Firpo; 16. Brad Snell (L); 17. Jess Stayrook (L);
	18. Johnny Petraglia (L); 19. Eugene McCune; 20. Jimmy Keeth; 
	21. Robert Lawrence; 22. Mark Scroggins (L); 23. Justin Hromek;
	24 Ken Muscato (?)

About a week ago, I posted from a pamphlet the PBA distributes to the 
public about their lane maintenence policy.  Doesn't it make you wonder,
if the PBA is really trying to make it "fair" every week, or just hoping
to keep its members happy?  Compare this year's Showboat Invitational 
to last year's...in '92, it was all righty crankers, with Harry Sullins
defeating Bob Vespi in the final match, and no lefties to be found.  This
year, lefty domination...The only common denominator -- the low scores
in the finals from both sides.  Even when David Ozio won it a few years
back with a 277, all other finalists had sub-par performances.  Now, I 
know that the physical attributes of the Showboat bowling center haven't 
changed drastically over the last 365 days; so what accounts for the 
sudden change in bowling hand preference for this PBA event at the 
Showboat?  Hmmm...

>It figures: Lefties get the "bone" in Vegas, and I'm in Jersey on business...
>But hey, I cashed this week, and my expenses were reimbursed! :-)

Well, that's great!  And more than about 200 of the starting field 
at the Showboat could say!

Well, I do agree that it would be better if the money were a little bigger. 
Maybe if they have some success with it that will happen. I'm certainly
willing to give it some time and see how it goes.

What I'd really like though, is if someone would televise that Kool Shootout
that happened last week. If it weren't for Compuserve, I'd have never

The ball actually looks pretty nice, it looks strangely

I normally bowl an outside line in the house our league is in. The lanes are medium-oily. Last weekend I participated in a city tourny, and bowled in two houses where the conditions were extremely dry. My outside line went from gutter to gutter. I adjusted to an inside line, after watching serveral other bowlers, and found that I was at least around the head pin. So...what line does what? What are the guidelines? Does an inside line cut down on the hook? When do you change lines?

factory sanded, however light...somewhere between 600-1500 grit 
sanding.  The limited number of these two balls I saw were shiny,
but most were being used in PBA tournament play, and I assumed that
they were coming from the factory that way.  However, in the past
two days, I have seen a newly drilled Crush/R and an undrilled 
Teal RP, both with factory sanding.  So possibly these two balls
(in factory condition) will conquer the oilier conditions while 
still being "cheaters"...

I got word that the 5th place finisher at the Showboat Invitational,
Tony Figuiera, used two BuzzSaws throughout the tournament -- one
dull, the other polished.  I guess it would be safe to assume that
he liked the ball, at least for the week...
