Hey guys,

So first of all, i'm a new member here, my name is Matt, i'm 24 years old, and i'm from France.

I've been bowling for a while now, but in december of 2012, i lost my thumb in a work accident.. (Nice way to spend christmas huh ?)

Since January i've been playing literally as a "no thumb player". I assure you, it's not by choice.

I currently average 190. Wich in my opinion think it's not bad for the short amount of time spent on the technique.

My question is, being a no thumb bowler, i have a lot of revs in my ball, wich is a nightmare for dry lanes, even worse when the 10 pin is left standing.. 8 out of 10 i miss it. My question is not about the ten pin, but more about dry lanes.

Would you recommend a ball, a layout or even a technique for me to make the ball roll further down and can easily take high revs without loosing too much control over the ball ? So i don't need to make crazy adjustments like lofting the gutter or something like that ? lol

Thank you guys

You will need to learn how to adjust cover stocks even on plastic balls...

Would suggest sanding up to 4000 + and putting the highest polish available even on the plastic.

Telling you from experience
