revolver coverstock
« on: April 30, 2013, 07:18:14 PM »
I have a revolver that I drilled for heavier oil, the question is that it hooked enough when I first threw it, but after about 10 games it has lost some of its aggressiveness, I clean it regularly but doesn't seem to help, does this coverstock need to be resanded regularly.

My guess is that it has changed slightly after 10 games, but more likely your conditions have.  If it finds friction too early it will read the midlane and be pretty tame on the back end.

Two options:  Move inside a little (let lane oil help it skid) and see if the late movement increases.  Or you could try a small amount of polish to see if it makes a stronger move late.
 
Remember as it becomes warmer outside it affects the lane oil dramatically, because it will break down faster.  Your bowling center is climate-controlled, but underneath the lane surface it isn't. 

The Revolver has a STRONG cover.  It was a little too early for what I saw regularly so I added some shine and it came back to life.  Let me know if you need any other ideas.

According to other post showing the effects the lanes have on ball finish. It can be greatly changed after two games. Every time you throw the ball on the lane it is getting a surface adjustment.

Try resurfacing the ball and see how it goes.

…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.
