Layout choice for Nationals this year
« on: May 16, 2011, 04:03:28 PM »
I'd like your layout and ball choice feedback to help me choose one or two balls in an effort to improve my past performances at Nationals... I bowl this year on 6/13.

Bowler statistics:
Hand - Left
Speed - 17.5 at the foul line
Rev rate - 250
Rotation - Typically > 60
Tilt - 11 degrees
Surface - Nationals
Speed dominant
PAP - 5 x 1


I plan to take a Theory I just had drilled, although it's been a general disappointment on heavy patterns so far. It is drilled 65 x 5 x 60, which I realize now was probably a bad choice.  As you have probably guessed from my statistics, it is a very mellow and smooth roll for me. I plan to take the Theory and give it a fair chance, but I have two other slots in the bag that I consider to be totally open for discussion.


I am not looking for a magic solution, but it would be nice going to Reno knowing that I've at least laid out my equipment in an optimal fashion to deal with the conditions.


Many thanks in advance.

Don't give up on the Theory.  Some of my balls,especially those for heavier conditions look like dogs on house shots, but really shine on sport shots.

 

What else do you have?  Or were you looking to add one or two new balls just for Reno?

I'm looking to add new. I have a Special Agent that may make the trip, but looking to replace it. Also very interested in thoughts re: layout based on my specs. From what I've been reading on dual angle layouts, I'd like to try drills with lower total values, like maybe 50 x 4 x 40, or something maybe even lower... Equipment thoughts appreciated, but really interested in tech discussion on layout as well...

Thanks

For the fresh = low pins, and balls/surface that smooth out the transition. No need for 500ab this year at least....:)
For the burn = high pins / pearls / 2000ab+ polish....just from what I experienced and saw with my equip.
