This past Tuesday in my Men's league I shot my first 800 series.  I was on fire.  Normally I would play an out and in line because the lane conditions are usually dry, but this night there was actually some oil on the lanes and I found myself through down the 5 board and in.  My ball of choice for the night was an Ebonite Predator which I bought new back in 2001 and has been my ball of preference for a long time.  I probably have between 5-600 games on it and the ball never fails me.  I had my 300 game with this ball and it paid off again for me.  My first game I threw a 266, then I followed that with a 290.  I destroyed the pocket on my first frame of this game on to be disappointed at finding a 8 pin standing there when I finished.  Then I threw the next eleven in a row.  The final game did not begin quite as promising as the other two, but I was happy to bowl a 247 and complete my first 800 series with a final series of 803.  Even though I know an 800 series is more difficult to come by then a 300 I can't help, but feel that there is something more glorious about a 300 game.  Anyway I am very happy to announce that I have reached another milestone in my bowling resume.
