carrydown
« on: June 29, 2009, 01:40:07 AM »
what balls these days are good for carrydown i tried to clean and resurfaced my max zone and come to the conclusion that its deader than a door nail "(, i currently throwing an uprising , soon after the first game carry down starts to occur and i also suffer the over under reaction im not brand specific. I move left the ball goes wash out i move right it jumps right off the beak hmm been trying hand positions and everything

i see plastic ball carrydown in my mixed league that i bowl in the winter. when my highly polished ultra zone or rattler wouldn't finish i switched to my dull copperhead. these three balls were all drilled the same way. this way i could stay in the same area on the lane and the increased surface friction made all the difference.

That's my basic suggestion, too. Try to play outside of the hazardous area, not inside or even through it.
Moving deeper is IMHO not a good move on carrydown - if it is actually the problem. To me your problems sound much more like burnout due to fried heads, where a weaker ball (e. g. a polished or fine grit surface solid with a length layout) would be much more effective than those 2 strong balls you mentioned.

thank you guys, i actually think it might be the fried heads and i just dont realize it i mean i bowl with another lefty, and hes  horrible sprays it everywhere, and 2nd game i try moving left and just dont flip over, and first game uprising just money and carry is good if i get it far enough left, then the shot breaks down i start moving left up around 9-10 because 7 out is oob for me it just wont flip over out there

Assuming you can confirm it's carrydown and not burned-up heads and mids, which will cause the ball to lose energy and appear as if it's being affected by carrydown, I have two words:

PARTICLE. PEARL.

i totally agree with jess on this one. a particle pearl if its truly carrydown. some good ones that i like are the enriched uranium and the golden nugget both by lane #1.
