He hit 300 in Game 3 off his 725 series using a Global 800 Honey Badger. “Prior to bowling, Eric Long and Mike Emerick were saying that I should purchase a new ball. I rarely buy balls new in the box,” Impagliozza said. “The Honey Badger was released in the summer of 2017 and I got it in 2020. The ball just matched up good with the transition and it carried all 12 shots.”
