Good morning, people—it’s your boy Brandon, Back After 10, and this one was a live league session from Paris 3 & 4 at AMF Stardust Lanes in Grove City, Ohio. The whole point of the stream was simple: I drilled five brand-new pieces a couple days earlier and literally none of them had touched a lane yet. So warmup and game one were true first-throws with the Storm Equinox Solid, Gremlin Tour X, a second Ion Max Pearl, a Rockstar Amped, and a new plastic spare ball. I also talked through the layouts I went with, why I made those choices, and what I’m looking for shape-wise when I’m testing fresh equipment. Once we got into it, the Equinox Solid ended up being the star early—controlled, predictable, and it let me stay out of trouble on a house shot that definitely had some “out of bounds” if you leaked it. I also hit on approach/slide adjustments, reading front-to-back motion (not just left-to-right), and why surface can be your best friend when the lane is cliffed. On top of the bowling, I asked folks to support a friend of mine, Felicia, who’s waiting on a heart transplant, and I celebrated a big milestone: the channel being fully monetized and getting my first super chats live.
