Ok everyone, here is what I have:
I bowl a second shift scratch league. We bowl after a handicap mixed league, where there is a total mixture of bowlers, some pretty good, down to people throwing plastic and averaging in the 120's. So we usually have no idea what we are going to get to start with. But by game 3 we normally end up with lanes that are toasted from the track out with an out of bounds outside 5. I used to have little trouble with these lanes, but last year I took a lesson from Mike Jasnau at Nationals. He made some changes in my game that have brought my speed down and increased my revs slightly, and now I am having major issues. My current speed is about 18.5 MPH, with a Rev rate of about 400, and I am RH. I tired drilling a Hy-Road with s very small Pin to PAP distance (1.5 - 2") thinking that it would control the backend motion better but still have some pop left. It appears that this is too strong a ball to try this, or my thinking was incorrect. What seems to be happening is, if I get the ball right at all, it just hooks to much and goes high. But my speed is still too fast to try to play very deep, as the ball won't turn the corner.
What I am looking for is some recommendations on a ball to try and/or a drilling to try. I can't afford to keep buying balls and trying different things, so I am hopeful that there will be some good ideas from the collective knowledge of the BR community that I can leverage off of to try and improve my scores on shots like this. Also, thinking about D/S at Nationals, which is still a few months away, but getting closer everyday.
Let me say Thank You in advance for your help.
