Help me out here! Not sure what to do yet.
« on: September 17, 2004, 11:09:21 AM »
I have this big tourney tommorow (and possibly sunday if I qualify). Its called the Parker Bohn III Scholarship Tournament. This, to me, is a big thing, and Im very nervous and excited. Im bringing 5 balls (which is all the ones I have lol) but Im not sure if I should alter the surface on any of them. Heres what I have, and the surface.

Triple X Factor-pin under ring, cg in palm-box finish
Bruiser-label drilling, pin above and right of ring finger, cg in palm-polished (not super high, but its polished a lil higher then box)
Slay/r-same drilling as bruiser-was polished, kind of like a matte surface now, now real shiny
Green gargoyle-pin over ring, cg stacked-polished, but again, not super high polish
Then the 5th is just my plastic ball.
I was thinking of bringing down the surface of the bruiser to an 800 grit w/ a green scotchbrite pad so that its a bit more arcy, and more controlable. Also so that it hooks up in oil a little more. Im not sure what the oil pattern will be like, but I just want to be able to be ready for anything. So any suggestions are welcome, though if I dont get any, more then likely they will all stay as they are.

Ok, thanx bones! I was kinda thinkin the same thing, but was also getting ahead of myself. I guess I'll just leave them as they are, if its so heavy that the Triple X cant handle it, then I doubt anyone will be shooting any honor scores lol. Thnx again.

If you CAN, WATCH a few others bowling to SEE how their balls are reacting.  If you bowl on a LATER squad.

Sometimes, on a HEAVY oil condition, the SAFE shot may be up or a SLIGHT swing from 15 board.  Not IMPRESSIVE looking, but MAY keep you out of trouble and leave you EASY spares.

GOOD LUCK.

i would take a little bit of surface off the triple x just incase you run incase you run into a lot of oil, and a little surface off the bruiser to make it more controlled. The greenie keep the same, slay/r might want to polish up as much as you can. thats just what i'd do though.

Lol I have a different strategy then you guys I always bring 2 balls that are alot alike but with different surface and a spare ball has always worked for me maybe because I suck anyway?
