Uranium HRG and carrydown
« on: January 18, 2007, 05:00:26 PM »
Drilled it fairly strong: pin under ring finger, 4" pin to PAP, Cg 5" to PAP. Hit carrydown at end of 1st game and it would not finish: left washouts and weak 10 pins. Couldn't go outside carrydown as it was too strong off the real dry. Wonderful on house blended shot until carrydown.
Had to switch to milder non-Lane#1 ball to play outside & go around carrydown.

On what I view as true medium oil, the ball, as drilled, had an almost hook and set type of breakpoint. Carry was good and it was easy to hit the pocket. On slightly high hits, the ball seemed to break up splits quite nicely, for the most part.

First Lane#1 ball since the Golden Nugget. GN was first Lane#1 ball since the Pro Purple. Wide array of Lane#1 ball reactions.

Yeah, I had one hell of a time with my HRG in carrydown last night. The opposing team had two women using plastic, one guy using urethane, and the other two were just all over the place with newer soakers. First game I was OK, but then things got real touchy. I struggled throught the second game, then went to the Army Green Carbide Bomb for the 3rd game, and threw a little harder and more direct. I should have made the switch in the beginning of the second game.

I love my HRG, but I need to be quicker to make a change when it is not working under certain conditions.
