    806 with a Roto-Grip Oracle, I was happy, but thought it would have been more.
    I'm not cocky I'm confident!!!!

    My first was REALLY exciting.

    Manely because I shot it back in the day when it was more highly regarded I guess.

    I shot 833 with a Black U-Dot!

    Was one of favorite balls of all time.

    It was the V2 Sanded of urathane balls.

    I have since shot 9 more, with 857 as my highest.

    No, why do you ask HATER?

    That was in 4 different centers to be exact.

    Shot 803 with a Triton Elite. I thought I was never going to shoot 8 after shooting 790+ 6 or 7 times. It felt good. Since then I have 14 and own the Port Arthur city record with 859(Track Freak Out) and the Pasadena record with 866(Columbia Action)

    Columbia Pulse (Red). One of the greatest balls ever made. I shot it on the cusp of the 800 outbreak. As a junior bowler in Houston, I was one of two who had done it. 3 years later everyone had one.

    i was pretty excited

    i was pumped but not as much as i thougt i would be.
    it was last night of league, roll off night i went 300-257-247=804 and we only won total pins by 3 so i was more concerned with beating those guys i guess

    but it was fun and im still waiting on number 2

    i was using a storm trifecta

    Not everyone, ho.

    I shot my first 800 with a Red Offset Hammer. Loved the way that ball rolled. I shot 813 with a whiffed 4-pin in the 2nd frame of the first game. Afterwards, I felt like, "Whew! Got THAT monkey off my back."
