Discussion on front to back
« on: May 05, 2018, 10:37:09 AM »
I thought I was beginning to understand the meaning of reading the lane "front to back" and how to see it on the lanes, but I admit I'm losing confidence in in whether I understand it or not. Does anyone have a good explanation or video reference to help me understand the topic better?
Thanks in advance.

It's hard to see it when bowling on a house shot that has to be read side to side, but move into the middle of the lane, into the heaviest concentration of oil, and line yourself up there. Much easier to start to understand then

heres two to start



https://www.bowl.com/Source/Source_Home/Reading_The_Lane/

Excerpt:
"Reading a lane condition front to back is identifying where the ball begins to lose speed. If a ball loses a lot of speed in the first 20 feet, you can expect less hook power or a smoother backend motion down lane. If the ball doesn’t lose speed in the front or middle sections of the lane, you can expect more hook down lane creating a stronger back-end reaction towards the pins."
