No not me! I'm too young to be called "old Salt".
Recently have been watching a real good older bowler tear it up relatively in my old Tuesday league. I mean this guy is averaging ner 217 and next lefty high is like 206.
He was once on tour and said the shot at this house while long is of a very thin volume. So he says one needs Hook at the back, very little midlane and push!
He says, so the usual answer is polish. Old guru says, "Polish helps push the ball thru the heads and mids but in the back it will jump more."
"SOLID" he says just doesn't work here not enough oil to retain energy"
Lastly he says is the secret to these overreactive midlanes.
"THe OLD Lustre king" "Put a ball in there, wax it to a high sheen. Make sure it's a strong ball(He uses the Total Annhilation, pin over ring and mass bias on track to reduce midlane) and then throw away!" "The ball will read slower in the mids and back and then hook versus polish where it will JUMP".
The high average for a righty the last two years on this pattern has been 211 versus righty 229 each year. He's going at a 217 clip and may get to 220.
Interesting!
