I was left a message that I need to update some pics, videos, and blogs. First off here is an update on what I have been doing with myself on the lanes. I decided to give the PBA east regional tour a strong start this year. I bowled in the first 4 events, cashing only one time but I did make the round of 16 for the first time in that one event. Unforunately, I did not bowl well that morning and I had to bowl against Patrick Allen. I was no match for him...lol...under statement...but it was definitely an experience I will never forget. I made that matchplay appearance after using my break pearl from 900 global the entire 8 games of qualifying. After using nothing but Hammer and a few ebonite pieces the last 3 years I finally decided to try some new stuff because I do not match up well with that equipment on the tour. I was very lucky to fall into some AMF and 900 Global equipment which totally gives me a much better look. I just added a few more of their pieces yesterday and love them all. This is probably one of the best decisions bowling wise that I have ever made. My intent is to continue to bowl well with their equipment and hopefully make their regional staff for next year. I absolutely have to thank Eric from 900 global for taking care of me, my ball driller Jim for his excellent work as we have ventured into some dual angle layouts to control my reactions, and last but not least my wonderful fiancee amanda for coming with me to as many tournaments as possible and supporting me every step of the way. I'll try and get some videos up from a practice session with my break pearl.
