In this one I’m doing a straight-up “pre-bowl with me” session—live, unedited, and you’re gonna see the good, bad, ugly, and the irritating. I bought four games on a fresh house shot at Stardust Lanes and stayed mostly locked in with my Radical Evil Eye (I had just cleaned it and hit it with polish). I’m talking through what I’m seeing lane-to-lane, making moves when one lane is giving me fits, and showing how I’ll chase friction and change hand position instead of just mindlessly moving my feet. I also share two big updates: I’m headed to USBC Bronze coaching certification training (with USBC Gold coach Ron Hatfield), and the channel is officially monetized—super chats are live now, and that support helps me keep buying equipment since I’m not on staff. The Evil Eye was flat-out disrespectful in the best way: I could bend it, I could square up, and it still wanted to do the right thing. I ended up shooting 1,000 even for four games (266, 222, 255, 257), which is my highest series in this league with no handicap. I wrap up with shoutouts, some upcoming shoe review plans, and a push to hit 2,000 subs for a giveaway.
