Well, practice league is almost over.  I haven't gotten nearly enough practice in.  This week was a little difficult for me.  I got a new ball - the Twisted Fury.  It was difficult figuring out where exactly I needed to lay the ball down.  It also didn't help that I hadn't been bowling for two weeks.  So, by the third game I had spaghetti arms.  I couldn't come through the ball right.  I was tired and lazy with my shots.  So, I bowled 115, 163, and 117.  Not a great nite at all.  I've got work to do.  I want 200 before league ends and I only have two more weeks. 

I'm helping a high school student who is writing a paper on wood vs. synthetic.  He needs some additional viewpoints.  So, which do you prefer and why?

I like wood.  I guess I'm just old fashioned and traditional.  I also like how it plays differently from lane to lane.  Each lane develops "character" with age and wear.  That's my take on it.  What's yours?
