I bowl in some normal league patterns crowns etc and the Brunswick sheets are absolutely great!!

I also bowl at one place that is DIFFERENT than any pattern I've seen in the country.

40 foot shot on Brunswick Anvilanes old rock hard slick ones.

All day bowling then right before league a 14 foot head shot.

Result...14 foot of ajus, bone dry midlanes on the left(ball acts like there is pavement there) and then slop on the back because of all day plastic bowling etc.

The right has more ajus pushed down into the mids during practice and then more friction in the lane surface before the backend thus creating more push and more natural turn in the backs.  Frequently in this house the top righty out averages the top lefty by usually 14 to 18 pins..(some call this place HEAVEN!)  Recently the 2nd 300 in FIVE years was shot by a lefty!

I note in Brunswicks fantastic drill sheets the work for me GREAT everywhere but frankly I have not tried these drillings listed length and backend drillings on this shot.  Specifically talking about the length and backend drilling either page 12 for assymetric or page 4 for symmetrics.

What is becoming more common is this drilling from Hammer for the lefties to avoid midlane Hammer drilling #4

Most drillings that supply midlane or closer to stacked seem to supply too much entry angle on this shot for we lefties.

Here are some drillings that are almost working on this shot.  for me....

P = pin
FF = fingers
C = CG
T = Thumb
MB = mass bias
X = space holder
W = weighthole


Note Xcel pearl did not have enough pop until adding a weighthole.

Bottom line....I'm afraid to supply any mass bias positions that supply any midlane whatsoever...but backend is still needed on the sloppy back!

Brunswick Gurus....will drillings 4 and 12 above not supply the too steep entry angle I usually get with any mb or cg kickouts?

PS I have a Red Zone and a Fury that are available both long pin outs???
PPS pins above my bridge are about 5 3/4 pin to pap.

Oiled 40 feet in the am.

12 hours of bowling.

10 minutes before league a 14 foot head shot is put down from the foul line to the to the arrows.

Midlanes are left bone dry.  All day carrydown is present in the backs.

Righties push headshot into the midlanes in practice.  Lefties are left with
14 feet of au jus= oil, bone dry midlanes, slop in the back.

My problems...slow speed...on the side release....more pavement on the left than the righties can believe till they come over and throw a backup ball.

Sometimes at 14 feet the ball will actually JUMP as it hits what literally acts like pavement!

Funny....later in the set if a single lefty needs to move at the arrows....a small move repeats the pavement jumping effect...at the 14 foot mark!

All my higher sets come with another lefty on the pair....

We also use 2000 abralon solids with lots of polish!

PS the real question...CAN a mass bias positive ball work or do I need to use Hammers negative mass bias position to push this ball thru the 25 feet of pavement after the arrows!  Brunswick drill gurus?
