No Thumb Drilling
« on: November 22, 2005, 03:13:40 AM »
Hey Guys,

Before you go no-thumb bashing, I am just doing this as an experiment ans to have fun. I have been bowling really inconsistant lately and we got a bad batch of oil so the have been messing with oil patterns on us almost every week to combat it. Well they opened a new can of oil last night of the same brand we have been using but it was a different consistancy than before. The old can was a lot thicker. Last night the oil was nice and stayed all 3 games even though I was throwing my H2O to fast for the condition and couldn't use anything else because of finger insert problems. I ended up throwing no thumb the last game with the H2O and shot 209 after 138, 165 the first 2 games. I was actually throwing more accuarate that way. I am thinking of switching to this because the way I am throwing the ball lately. :-(

What type of drill pattern would you suggest for ane extremely high track (almost between fingers over thumb hole), high revs, 60° axis rotation, and speed about 16 mph at the pins. I am thinking about getting a 14 lb ball for doing this. I can throw a 15 like this but am a little tired after doing it. Let me know what you think. Please no bashing the no-thumb. I actually throw more accuarate this way than I do with one hand right now and my speed is a lot more consistant as well. Because of the way I am throwing the ball my average is down over 15 pins from last year. Just thinking of trying something different until the new year and shacking it off as bad bowling.

Thanks,
Mike

You'll have to try it and see. I've never seen enough oil to warrant no thumbing my black groove dull. I need some polish on mine. You may have more oil. Let me know how it works.
