You may recall in 2014 that I bought a new ball for the IBM Bowling League. I had pretty high expectations for that ball, but over the course of a couple years, I started to struggle with it. Part of that could be attributed to getting older or the fact that I was undertaking a lot of additional activities (such as basketball league and learning to play golf). Below you'll find my averages with this ball for the past four years:
As you can see, my average started to tail off the past two years. Despite my poor averages, our team still won the championship both years. Regardless, I felt the need for a new ball before this season, so I got myself another Storm ball, the Code Red!
I bought the ball off bowling.com for $158 and then had it drilled for $45, so it was about the same price as the previous ball. We'll have to see how this generation of bowling goes and hopefully I can return to some 190+ averages!
