Need Some Help With My Uranium
« on: November 21, 2005, 11:35:31 AM »
i just cant seem to get a consistent read on it.
the layout is in my profile.
i can add or subtract revs.
i can stay behind or go over the side with my release.

and it seems like i cant shoot the same shot twice with it.
but i whip out my absolute and can strike at will.

first game was with my uranium 163
second with absolute 213
third with uranium 167

if i stay behind the uranium over 2nd arrow, it makes a little wiggle out towards the right and comes into a roll and smashes the pocket.

if i shoot the same shot again, it'll either hook set or slide.
is this layout/ball touchy with carrydown or something?

it could be the 2 different lanes, but i havent seen a ball i couldnt get a read on after 5 or 6 games.

im starting to get discouraged, any advice to get a consistent reaction?
anyone else with a layout like this?

do you think it is really touchy right now because there is no track on it?
and yes, it is in box condition.

its hard to say exactly how many games are on it, as ive been using it on and off.
i'd estimate around 4-5 games.
when cleaning it last night, there are hardly any track scratches.
a couple here and there, but nothing organized.

with that kind of layout, what type of release is most effective?
more side rotation or more over the top?

im not a high rev player.
im able to get medium revs controlably.
when i start trying to get revs is when i get erratic.

last night, i was attempting 9 to 6 board with it, and it was erratic.
sometimes slide, sometimes rolled nice, sometimes hook set.

there was a high rev player bowling after me playing slightly inside my line.
im beginning to wonder if he was pushing oil over my line 2 boards outside of his.

ill try moving more inside, maybe 12-7 type of shot.
i dont think ill get enough recovery with a 15-8 swing.
