| 2009-11-17 | Gary | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Warren didn't answer my question.

| 2009-10-28 | Klark | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks for all your help. I'm different from everyone else around me with all that hook. I'm going to find out some more info for you and will get back to you in a couple of weeks. If anything I 'll drive up to chicago and get some different equipment and get better drilling. With the layouts you gave me the stronger layout looks more like my track and the right way to go. I have had another ball with the standard layout and didn't like it. Thanks Klark Sikkema |
| 2009-10-19 | joe | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | thank you for your answer. it sure will help in my bowling development. once again thank you |
| 2009-10-16 | David | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks... my dad was a Sunday league bowler for 40 years and had 2 7-10 patches in league play. In fact my three brothers and I put one in the casket when we buried him! David |
| 2009-10-14 | Mike | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-10-09 | Kyle | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Warren, thanks again for your help! I discussed what you had told me with the lane mechanic who drills balls occaisionaly and said that he can work something out. Hopefully we will be getting our Mutant Cells here shortly and will pick one of them up for her as long as the specifics work for the drilling. I have been learning to layout balls but am far from understanding it all. We both thank you for your help and hopefully this will help her build her confidence and allow her to start exceling outside of her comfort zone! Thanks again! Katie and Kyle |
