Wow, the [bowlingball value=”9109″/] is an amazing bowling ball. The length and hook on the backend were fantastic. This bowling ball pounded the pocket and exploded the rack.

It was snappy on the backend, but not “jumpy”. It had a predictable backend snap.

The pearlized coverstock gives the ball length, while the 1500 grit polish helped give it backend.

Use this bowling ball to travel down Victory Road.

The Storm Marvel Bowling Ball Review

Pin to PAP(4 1/2″ over 0″ up) – 4″
Mass Bias Position – N/A
Balance Hole – 3/4″ x 1″ on PAP
PSA Layout – 4″ x 4″, 2″ pin buffer

Surface Preparation – Out of Box (2000 Grit Abralon)

The [bowlingball value=”9108″/] has a very smooth overall roll. It didn’t seem “jumpy” at all, which helps me feel more in control. I have always had an affinity to symmetrical cores for this reason.

In the video, I did have a couple of bad shots, but you can see that the ball helped me recover from them very well.

The colors are also pleasing to my eye. I am a fan of blues, and this ball has many shades of blue.  Buy at bowlingball.com for [bowlingball value=”9108,price”/].

APC Configuration Hell

Note to self: Know where your configuration files are.

I have been fighting an APC out of memory/100% fragmentation nightmare.  I kept tweeking settings in /etc/php.ini and nothing seemed to be fixing the problem.  Sure, gracefully restarting Apache will appear to fix the issue at the moment, but then it returned.

I started looking at the Runtime settings in apc.php and realized that nothing I had set really changed anything.  Turns out, apc by default put its config in /etc/php.d/apc.ini.  Sure, I would set them in php.ini and then they were overwritten in apc.ini.  ARGH!!!!

Found and fixed… YAY!
