Title: Discussion on front to back
Post by: lefty50 on May 05, 2018, 10:37:09 AM: I thought I was beginning to understand the meaning of reading the lane "front to back" and how to see it on the lanes, but I admit I'm losing confidence in in whether I understand it or not. Does anyone have a good explanation or video reference to help me understand the topic better?
Thanks in advance.

Excerpt:
"Reading a lane condition front to back is identifying where the ball begins to lose speed. If a ball loses a lot of speed in the first 20 feet, you can expect less hook power or a smoother backend motion down lane. If the ball doesnâ€™t lose speed in the front or middle sections of the lane, you can expect more hook down lane creating a stronger back-end reaction towards the pins."
