OMG HELP ME!!!
« on: January 29, 2004, 05:25:51 PM »
ok,
  the center i bowl in on thursday nights is driving me crazy!!  we are the first shift on a fresh pattern, but there is a problem... THERE IS ONLY 25FEET OF OIL OUT THERE!!!  i cant even keep my Storm CorePower HRG on the damn lanes, and i drilled it to go long and break late.  My normal shot is fairly stright down the 2nd arrow and snap back in.  but at this house, it coming up brookly or worse.  

  I have thought about either going back to a urethanr or polyester ball.. i need options!! badly!!

Phillip

play 3rd arrow out and in. Keep your hand flat (don't cup) and add a little speed. This should help you a little.

Hi Phillip,

Bones is correct(as usual).  We had almost the identical shot at BTM's tourny last year in Tennessee.  If you can't break your wrist and "fluff" the ball,  recommended is to change to a much harder surface.  You may even have to go to plastic if the urethane checks up too quick.  You'll lose some area with plastic but it will hopefully allow you to play more of your natural game.  Don't worry, most tweeners tend to have more problems on this type of condition because the straight guy is only hooking a little more and the cranker can throw past the heads and bring it back.  You're not alone....good luck...
