My ball for tough lanes
« on: January 25, 2011, 03:55:42 AM »
I've been using my Hype Pearl for tough lanes on the dry side or with spotted oil. Change suface to about 500 abralon, and my drill is pin below fingers and CG about 1/2 in. right of center line. What I get is a smooth arc very predictable, ,hand position very inportant depending on the lane condition.

Good move Dynoboy. what you've found out is that the surface adjustment is the number one change you can make to combat a tough condition!

 

P.S. As an addendum to this tried and true formula, I just recently(last nite) used a dull, particle piece, a Silver Streak Particle to tame down flying backends which were giving everyone else on our pair,....fits! The magnificent core/ cover combo allowed the ball to transition thru the skid/hook/roll phase normally and I was able to consistently kick the corners out. For example....2 wks ago we bowled this same team and the lady on the team shot 730 against us with a Mission. the backends were regular. This week that same lady with the same ball was only able to muster 565, because the backends were flying! 2 wks ago I shot 697, this week only 645. Control of those backends make a big difference.

 


Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side, but it still holds the universe together.
