A few other things I forgot to mention, I'm also bowling on the blue oil pattern type II from the new USBC approved red, white, and blue oil patterns. There is no forgiveness on this type of oil pattern that a THS would give you. As in if you miss inside of your target, the heavier oil in the middle part of lane will hold the ball and if you miss outside of your target, the drier part of the lane will bring the ball back.
If I want to play wide on a fresh pair of oiled lanes with the pure swing I can stand on twenty-five, rolling over fifteen out to five with my ball speed a little over sixteen mph. Lately, I've been playing a tighter line as I previously mention above and my ball speed is a tad bit over eighteen mph with a forward roll and a lot of fingers. Since I've been working on playing this tighter line my carry has improved so much. I've been playing this line for about a month now and I haven't thrown one game under two hundred since.
