Ran into an extraordinary amount of oil in league the other night. I struggle trying to get enough revs on my ball as it is, (only around 290 rpm or so), and noticed it wasn't just me last night, another guy on the next pair over was getting the ball to hook on the backend, but he was playing very straight, and usually he's inside and bending the ball a lot. I had my Rule, Triple Xtreme X-Factor, and Yeah Baby!. The Triple Xtreme actually seemed to be giving me the most hook of any of them, surprisingly, but even with that ball, and playing very straight (almost pointing it to the pocket) i struggled with carry. 6 10 pins in the first game as well as an 8-10 and 5-10 split, and a 5 and another 5-10 later in the night. I struggled to about 550 or so after a 160 game to start, but felt like I didn't have any real answers for what to do. I tried to keep my speed down and use whatever dry I could find, but was just lost. I've considered getting my old Azure Pro Zone out, and sanding it down to about 220 or so, just in case of emergencies like this, but I hate to take up a spot in my bag for a ball I'd almost never use. Just wondering what some of your strategies and ideas are for situations like this. Thanks.
