Last night by 6th or 7th frame of the second game I encountered a lane condition I can't remember bowling on before. The lanes began the night pretty heavily oiled with a long pattern, even the crankers were having a little trouble turning the corner. I was playing straight up 5 with a Throttle and slower than normal speed (normal being 16-17).
By the 5th frame of the 2nd game the throttle was hooking at my feet, no matter where I moved to, the heads were gone but the back ends were still plenty wet. I switched to a Black Cherry Bomb but it wasn't much better. I ended up switching to my Cherry Bomb, which got through the heads OK but there was not much in the back, the pattern/carrydown was still too heavy. I bowled 600 on the nose, about 30 pins or so under my average, so that was Ok considering I felt like I was fighting the lanes all night. I'm not sure that I can loft the ball like Mika, but what else might you have tried?
