dry
« on: July 15, 2004, 12:11:28 PM »
i bowl in a junior league on tuesdays its not real competitive, theres alot of just for fun bowlers, the problem is for some unknown reason they just stopped putting down a fresh shot like after the first week its like people have bowled on it all week long, there is about 3 of us who are good bowlers but are balls are all rolling out, my weakest ball is my tornado tps and that still rolls out.

I don't want to go out and buy another ball just for this league cause no one really cares about the league but i  look pretty bad with my 155 avg and I'm usually around 175. i about ready to go pick out a nice blue lane ball.

the ball is hooking alot and then it stops and hits the pocket like a pillow, it does not drive through the pocket, i guess i will just speed it up and hope i don't get out of wack, who knows

Be sure to explore different lines.  Just because your normal shot is dry, it doesn't mean the entire lane is toast.  If your normal shot is the second arrow, then try moving inside to the third arrow (or fourth or even fifth) or try going further outside.

Also consider getting you ball polished--a shinier ball will get more length.
