One of the leagues I bowl in is late shift. The house has older synthetics (Heddon I believe) and is oiled in the morning. They have daytime leagues (most bowlers using plastic) as well as early shift leagues. Once our league starts, half the house bowls after a 5 man league and the other bowls after a junior league and open bowling. On days that school is off the lanes are extra brutal. The heads and mids are generally very dry and there is a ton of carrydown present.
I am looking for something that will get thru the heads/mids and have enough cover to turn somewhat in the carrydown. First I was thinking of an Arson Low Flare but then thought that this ball was probably created to control lanes with fresh backends and wouldn't be good for carrydown. Then I was thinking about a Wrecker and didn't know if the skid/flip characteristic would be good but thinking that a hybrid cover may be what I need. The best thing I have right now is a Tropical Heat hybrid. I can get far enough left to get into the pocket but it doesn't have enough drive to get thru the carrydown. It is in box finish and is drilled 65 x 5 3/8 x 55. My stats are in my profile but I throw the ball relatively slow and have approx 315 rpms with a high amount of tilt. I was thinking of a layout with a large Drill Angle and a small VAL angle, which would get me the most length and then hopefully turn thru the carrydown. Not sure on the pin to pap distance. Any suggestions on layout and what ball(s) may be good choices for what I am looking to accomplish?
