Suddenly having a hole in my arsenal with the loss of my Virtual Gravity Nano, the best option to replace the ball was the new Alpha Crux, which I had Ray try to duplicate the Nano’s reaction with. I’m not sure what the notation for the layout was (I’ll have to get the numbers from Ray before I add the ball to my BowlSK arsenal.), but the pin was under my finger, with a motion hole on the positive (ring finger) side. Trying the ball out, I had a few bad shots, but the good ones had the expected reaction: Early-rolling, but setting nicely in the pocket on the house shot. I’m not sure if I’m bowling league this summer yet, but I hope I’ll be able to use the ball if I do. 🙂
New ball: Alpha Crux

I started "The Tenth Board" to chronicle my experiences during the road back to league bowling after my heel fractures in 1999 (it took me 7 years before I started thinking seriously about it). I now use the blog as a combination of a personal bowling journal and a news site mostly about Westgate Lanes (Brockton, MA) and its bowlers. View all posts by Rich
