Normally I don't bowl on bone dry. In fact its quite the opposite...or at least it should be.
The league shot I bowl is "oiled twice over" since there is a 2nd shift league right after ours. Instead of reoiling the lanes they put a heavy amount down for the first league.
In previous seasons I had trouble getting anything to hook, but after summer practice and what not, everything is overhooking.
On this league shot, out of the bag this ball does fine. But with 10 people bowling in the same area, the shot breaks down fast (after 5-6frames) after that...the ball is useless because it stops continuing in the back end.
I mean even on bone dry conditions I shot at it was still very clean through the heads, got to the breakpoint, made a smooth move, drove hard, but just died as it entered the pocket.
All I need is just that couple extra feet. I mean with this layout, I REALLY like look and control this layout gives, I just need that few extra feet of continuation to make it work.
As an update, I made some adjustments and tempered my follow-through to try and project the ball farther down the lane. On broken down shots, when I got just right it actually continued through. On bone dry lanes it still sort of rolled out kind of like the reaction Chris Barnes got on the Roll to Riches so I still got decent deflection and carry.
I may take it up to 800grit and polish it, that along with some adjustments should help it out. I hope *crosses finger*
