Which color / fragrance did you get though?
He told my nephew that the worldâs longest strike was the hardest one and took hours. The ones with the pool player are the weirdest in my opinion. Another thing I learned recently is that those clear Storm Belmo spare balls are worth a small fortune now.
the smell thing is so weird 
Green/black and the scent is something sweet, like cotton candy maybe?

The green/black Tropical should be vanilla. Thatâs a fairly weak ball which doesnât mean bad, just not ideal for heavy oil. Assuming itâs a house shot, the oil is heaviest in the middle of the lane which is why you wouldnât get much action coming all the way across. The track youâre running through the 2nd arrow (far right) is drier so your ball releases on time.
Some of the shit Florian can do is unreal. Iâve been watching pool trick shots for decades and his stuff is on a far different level.

Just be glad youâre getting any oil at all I guess. A lot of these places only put oil down for league now (although apparently some Bowleros donât even do that). I only bowl when I meet up with the family these days which means the kids will be there and we get auto placed on the bone dry lanes. Even if I start completely left and go through the middle with a house ball I canât touch the head pin. If I throw my reactive ball then it snaps into the gutter at the range markers. The only thing I can really do is modify my throw to come up the back and take the spin off, but then Iâm basically throwing a straight ball. Tropical Surge probably one of the better reactive balls for that particular situation actually.
Speaking of bowling, I arrived at south point in Vegas early this morning to take part in the USBC Open Championships. Eleven thousand teams take part in this event over about four months. Three games of team doubles, and singles. Team on Tuesday, doubles and singles on Wednesday. The oil pattern looks difficult, but you never know. Wish me luck.

In my yout I refinished the lanes at Ballys in Reno, you could see the curve of the earth looking across all those lanes. Sawdust boogers for weeks afterwards.
Is that the huge one with the giant Epcot Center ball on the outside?

It was 30 years ago. I donât really remember the outside of the casino.
National Bowling Stadium is the place Iâm thinking of.

I donât remember that, that seems more fancy than a giant bowling alley in the 90âs. I do remember that the bathroom stall in the back was covered in pornographyâŚ
