Don't you bowl with lane condition yet?
« on: April 14, 2004, 06:37:59 AM »
I have bowl in this centre since 1990, i think it is the worst bowling centre in the world. 32" feet wood lane with thin oil, and with no or a very little backend because of the bad management. Whatever you use a shiny or dull ball, the ball with not hook much until you are bowl with slow speed. Please help me to find out what can i drill for this condition. I am a med to high ball speed, high track bowler, was suffering from the choosing of ball and the method of drilling, since last year i had drill a reactive ball with dull finish, 4" x 3", is this spec good for this lane condition?

THANKS!!!!!

Is the ball rolling out because of a short pattern on wood lanes and little oil, or skating too long because they never strip the backends?

A 4 x 3 drilling should be pretty good, althought something a bit stronger might be better since you have to slow your ball speed to get a decent reaction.  A particle ball would probably be a better choice.  Reactives still skate on heavy carrydown.
