Carrydown issues.....
« on: November 07, 2004, 11:27:00 PM »
The center I bowl at on Tuesday night increased the oil by 15% this year.  The means we are pushing close to 70 units or so in the middle.  I could be alittle high on that figure but if I am, it isn't by much.  

The last 5 years the oil pattern generally dries up and rarely ever carried down.  Well, not this year, the oil is carrying down and I am having a helluva time carrying anything.  I normally try dull resin in this situation but it seems too strong.  It could be my polished equipment is just too weak to make the corner.  

I was thinking about sanding my Ravage down to 1000 grit or so.  It has length drilled into and with a slightly more aggressive cover should do the trick.  

Can anyone provide a better solution?  My profile has my arsenal and stats.

Good to hear Andrew.  Question when you rolled your Shock Zone in the carry down....did it squirt or just not hit hard enough to carry?  

I played with the surface of the Navy Fuze and this is now my go to ball in a carry down state.  Same surface....Guardian heads, old wood with puddle in middle.  

In my 5 man league to much oil from the mid lane gets pushed out to 5 to the gutter making it very squirrely.  So. I move inside usually crossing arrows at 18-19 to 9 at break point with more around side of low and long drag type release.  Creates length and recovery at breakpoint.  Is this what you tried?

The Shock Zone did turn more than the XS, but it didn't carry.  I tried sending it into the dry which caused an immediate left turn.  I was trying to stay up the back more than usual but with minimal success.

I have a tournament coming up in this house this weekend.  I am alittle worried I won't find a solution.  I shot 631 with 4 opens, 258, 184, 189.  I was somewhat frustrated the last game and a half.  When this happens in the tournament I will probably keeping moving right and making my spares.  It is a long format, 9 games, so the lanes will breakdown eventually.  I would rather shoot 20? than 18?, no what I mean.
