I'm giving up! I experimented with reactives and particle balls. I went from having the pin below the fingers to having it above the fingers. I tryed swinging the ball. I worked on getting my release to the point where I have to have oil to be effective. I've decided to go back to standing left and throwing right (lefty). The dry backends and carrydown are killing me. I can't get a consistent reaction trying to cover boards. How do you guys that track high have medium revs a little axis tilt, have your arsenal set up? I want to stay in my comfort zone a long a possible and I want to set up my equipment to compliment my game. I guess I need less agressive drills and change the cover or the ball for whatever condition its needed for but keep the drill simple. So that I can still play up the boards or in the track area. I have thrown bigger games swinging and covering more boards but I am losing my consistency. I'm tired of having a bad game in between two good ones. I know you can't help moving and playing a different part of the lane but i'd prefer not to. I know that there are some old school guys who prefer this style and maybe some new school also. I guess my speed is medium and I'm a stroker/tweener, if there's such a thing. Help me out guys. I'll supply more information if needed. I like particle and solid reactives.

with a lot of experimentation!

I startting on a summer leaague. sloppy backends as they only run the heads. makes life interesting each lane is it's own beast. now our heads are fresh so swinging thoeugh the carrydown is rough.

for these lanes I prefer low load particles at first. good strong backend ball to bite in the varry down.

Big Kahuna- pin down
Phenom unleased pin 3: above midline. 4 x 4.5


if i neeed length for dry heads I would polish the above gradually. I would also prefer a pearl particle ball.


a lot depends on what ball is in the shop when I go as opposed to a specific drilling I just tray and take what is know about the ball reaction, it's spec and dill it, surface it and releas eit best on what I ahve in front of me. I like to amke sure the ball clears the heads and make a strong smooth move off the midlane. before the slop.


just works for me.
