Re: Jeff Carter
I have read alot about the shot you are on averaging 261. If you don't mind.What is your current Regional PBA average and how much do you agree with the theory that the house condition you average 261 on is more than a little generous to high scores?
I do love Ebonite equipment by the way. Too bad they discontinued the Pearl Stinger.

13, to answer your question i would have to say that the conditions that i bowl league on are considered "soft". On the other hand the lane surface is guardian over wood ( very high friction surface ) so no matter what pattern you put out it plays drier than normal. Secondly the league that i set the record in alternated early and late shifts every week so this was a little more challenging than normal.

My PBA average is right around 218.

By the way, thanks for the nice comments everybody. Jeff Carter

Hey Jeff, it's a new season, some of us would like to know how you are doing.
