Russell,
Once again, I bowl second shift scratch league with a bunch of guys with lots of hand. The oil we start with is gone very fast! After moving 10-12 boards with my feet and at least 4-6 with my target, I'm ready for something that I can control better.
Not always do I need a pearl urethane, but when I do, it's in my locker. I have lots of tilt, decent revs, and plenty of rotation. Getting skid is not always the answer.
Every bowler that has a "human" rev rate goes left, left, left, and eventually loses their entry angle. All I am saying is it's really nice to have something DIFFERENT to go to.
This site is full of guys who make "blanket statements" when they are only speaking from their own experience. That's all. Blanket statements such as "this type of ball will never work" get under my skin a little. I've got 10 years in the pro shop business, and I've learned that bowling is something that all different styles can excel in as long as they can repeat shots.
Once again, charlest, you, and the others may be right on target for what you typically see. Maybe your advice suits the masses. I'm okay with that. Just don't try and tell me what I can or cannot do with what I am bowling on. I've already done it well, and turned some heads doing it. Thanks for your concern, though.
