help neede immediately
« on: August 01, 2009, 11:08:43 PM »
this is by far worse condition ever!

very effin light condition, flat, im not 100% sure but something like 30 feet buffed to 40, breaks down really quickly, 90% of the time im dealing with over under when im playing down and in, target at 13, breakpoint 15, very tight.

so i feel one good shot and strike, doesnt mean next shot would still hit pocket

after a while, 5,6 games, theres nothing u can do because the track bowlers burn that part up with sand paper, and i moved as far as 25 on target and huge swing would keep pocket without having over under

ended the day with 186 average which i think... i bowled ok.

second highest game was a brooklyn game...

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

my weakest balls i was using were track equation, pin high above bridge, about 5 1/2 from axis and amf radar, 2 inches from axis

with those 2 balls if i swing from the deep inside carry is crappy because i have to keep BP close to the headpin and those balls wont turn

the other ball i was using was the lane master black pearl reactive, 3 1/1 inches from axis, pin on the right and up from ring finger, lots of midlane and steady backend, but reaction was never consistent

How 'bout speed or hand adjustments? Maybe more speed and/or less wrist.

Might be a good time to find a urethane ball for this condition. Maybe even a sanded plastic ball. Sounds like old school conditions.

oh well, already done, ended 4th place...

today pretty much 190 was a winner...

at least got my money back after bowling 25 games, but i feel i got bullsh!ted cuz the guy who shot me down struck 2 brooklyns and by my own fault, missed a 3 pin to the right

With the pattern that short, how did the gutter play?  Move everything right with the Radar, or something smooth off the spot.

Make some spares.

Just wondering AP but were you between blocks when you posted this thread???

If so, that's a great idea! I may have to steal it the next time I'm in a jam at a tournament!

  I had the same kind of shot a couple of years ago in one of my leagues, they had some kind of tourney directly before our league, and never had a chance to oil the lanes. The only way I could play the lanes was take the weakest ball I had and go directly up the gutter, thats the only way it would get down the lane far enough before it would start hooking. Alot of people were pissed because there balls were hooking just past the arrows LOL. If I kept it straight up the gutter I was good, if I pulled it a little bit it was gone. I was still able to average a respectable 205 for the night. Made all my spares it helps alot on a tuff shot.
