Lanes
« on: October 16, 2009, 02:29:12 AM »
I am bowling at a house and struggling. The shot is this. If you throw the ball out about the 10 board the ball rolls out and never recovers. If I throw it in the ball takes off. I am using the following balls. Any help would be appreciated on how can I bowl on this.

Hammer Black Widow Pearl - Polished. - Drilled to go long
Hammer Black Widow - Sanded - Drilled to hook early
Hammer Black Widow Sting - Sanded - Drilled to go long and snap.

All of these when I throw the ball out they either roll out or take off on the brooklyn side when I get the ball in. I tried playing straight down 10. I tried hooking across the lane. NOTHING WORKS. Any ideas?

Is the ball really rolling out or does this house actually have some OB. Not everyone bowls on the great wall.

What is OB? The house is known for a decent shot but not now.
 


  "OB" means OUT OF BOUNDS......typically if an oiling pattern has a much heavier volume of oil from the 1 board to the 5 board, or sometimes as even as far inside as the 10 board as the lane does on the other parts of the lane it is called OB, out of bounds, simply meaning it's for the most part, an unplayable part of the lane.

op, how is ur current equipment layed out????  as ppl are saying, sounds like you need "less" ball or a weak layout....


All of My balls are layed out strong. One is pin under and one is pin to the right of the pinky. I have basically everything long and strong. Except the Original Black Widow. That is too hook early.


u need to have a couple balls with weak drillings!!!! that would prolly solve ur problem
