New ball works

Well, after 6 games with the new ball I'm happy with it.

On Wednesday I started with 9 strikes in the first game for a 234 (2 big splits cost me). It definitely hooks a lot, especially if there's not a ton of oil. I was playing a line I haven't ever come close to playing before and adjustments were a little difficult. I ended up shooting 630.

Now tonight at a place where they slather the oil gratuitously I did a little better, shooting a 711 (212, 266, 233). I had 9 strikes in a row in the 2nd game. Should have done better in the 3rd game but the oil dried up a little and it took me 3 bad shots to realize I needed to move a little.

So, 223 average this week with it. And I'm still learning how it works. Skies the limit here...
