Everlasting Carrydown
« on: October 20, 2013, 09:01:50 PM »
So, where I bowl has relatively heavy oil. Wood lanes.  I'm no sure if their Kegel is actually stripping the backends.  Either way, I find my self (righty) moving right all night.  Tonight there was not much warning when the adjustment was needed, almost seemed to be random, and I went from strikes to 2-10's in a hurry.  Left 8 splits, 1 7-10, the rest were a combination that had the 2-10 in it. No matter what angle I tried from tonight, it seemed to go X X Split. or X X X X Split. 

Anyone else have this issue?  I used a Pursuit and a Totally Defiant, neither wanted to get back to the pocket by the end of game 3.

If I took an original Defiant, to either 1000 or 2000 abralon, would it make it grab a little better, and maybe act as a mop to clean off the break point?

Wood lanes are older, but were just resurfaced in August.  I am not the only one moving right all night.  I appreciate all the suggestions.

If I went further left and didnt put it out as far, would that maybe be an option? Stay out of traffic all together?

Anything is an option, do you think moving in gives you a better margin of error?  That's what you have to decide.  For me, on what you're describing, I'm finding friction and going simple and straight as the pattern allows me.

last night was lanes 3-4, tonight 9-10, way different tonight, much better. .  don't know if there's an extreme variance developing, or an extreme aberration last night, but it did show me a hole I have with my game/ arsenal that needs to e addressed.  I will say that sundays usually play a little wetter than Mondays.

Less open play before your league on Monday vs. Sunday?

Moving left and keeping the ball on a tighter line isn't the answer.  In doing this you will have cleaner backend to the left and carrydown to the right.  That is just making things even harder than they already are.  There are a couple of solutions.  If you have the ability to do it the best solution is to move left of the track and circle the ball outside of the carrydown and use it as hold.  If you physically aren't able to create that ball reaction your best bet is to play up the dryer track and get the ball started sooner, using as much surface on the ball as the front of the lane allows.

Agreed IF the bowler has enough tilt and axis rotation to be allowed to do this and has an open mind plus the skill set to execute it.  Not all bowlers can do this....out of their comfort zone.  BUT, this is exactly the way I would attack the situation.
