Carry question
« on: November 09, 2003, 11:11:31 PM »
I know this has been covered a million times but i will bring it back again.  I have been having a ton of carry problems.  especially since i have switched companies which may have nothing to do with it.  I have a mid trrack in between high and low.  above average revs at about 17-18mph.  I went from storm to visionary because i like the hit of visionary better and they rev up a little better for me.  its been about 1 month and I am still having the trouble.  
I am not leaving many 10s but now on solid pocket shots there are being some strange leaves.  Like last friday the first game 10 solid shots 7 strikes 3
7-10s. then 2nd game i started leaving 4-9's  and 9-7's right handed.  then went to a tournament sunday is 4 games had 12 9 pins 4 4-9's  3 10 pins and then 4 7-10's.  I am using 16 and didn't know if moving to 15 would help at all but didn't know what to change or what.  I ended up trying 6 balls and all with different lines and stuff and couldn't carry but then if someone else goes through nose and carries but my problem is i leave 9's and other stuff every where not just there.

I have used a coach and the shot at the tournament was 45ft sport shot
the other is a short christmas tree with really heavy heads pattern with good amount of carrydown
the third i use my slate blue and is a short pattern but still pretty heavy

even with my old equipment i was leaving the same things.  i have been hanging these for three years and the top regional pros at the tournament was talking about my strike shots were as good as anyone but i wasn't geting the breaks or carry needed

If you are consistently leaving the same pins, in your case combinations with the 9, it has nothing to do with "breaks".  You need to make the necessary adjustments to stop leaving them.  As others have already mentioned, 9 pins are the result of the ball driving too hard through the rack.  There are lots of possible solutions, and you must experiment to find the one that will work for you.

u know if i knew what else to try it would be great but when me and my coach have gone over everything that we know to try to get them to carry we are out of ideas.  the only thing that i haven't tried is 15 pound ball rather than 16 but if i do that i imagine i am going to throwing way to hard. and for those of u that say then take hand out of the ball its like a usa bowling certified coach said from the office just because the book doesn't say that u can be high rev u can't go in and tell pete weber that he has to many revs or his backswing is to high to be a good bowler.  u can add things to ur game but u can't take things off that are naturally there.

Don't imagine, just try a 15lber if it blows through the break, cut the surface down a little. If that is a no go i would look to stepping up to another coach for a "second opinion" or different eye. Not every coach has all the answers and sometimes it takes the teachings of a few meshed in, to your game to get results. When trying a 15lb throw more than 5-10 games to get a feel. Every time i have switched weights it took some time to show off the good or bad points of changing.
