Thanks for the upload Keith! The picture quality is so crisp! How did you accomplish this?

[mrbowling300]

I actually used a greater resolution, 720 x 480. It creates a monster file. My normal quality clips were about 33meg, these were about 108 meg, and then it takes time to upload. Pretty nifty if you are able to do it.

The reason Del Ballard makes those pins dance outta there so well is because he has a great combo of speed and roll--low speed, LOTSA roll.

My gawd, Del Ballard always looked old. I know a grip of dudes who are 23 and look younger than that. He looks like he's 38 here. It has nothing to do with my favoritism for Pete Weber. But Pete is legend!

Del's ball was just shredding the rack, i have never seen the pins dance with urethane like Del's shots do..
