Usually our lanes are pretty dry, but last night we saw something different. I throw the Hammer Doom and usually have no problem getting the backend reaction, in fact after the second game, I really have to increase speed to keep it from crossing Brooklyn. Last night no matter what I did, the Doom had no reaction. The only time it did was if I slowed down drastically and put more revs on it, then it would snap into the pocket. But this was slow speed was almost silly how unnatural it was. I always play the outside dry part, tried the middle, even worse. My teamate throws the Hammer blue Vibe, same thing, his was moving maybe a board. Beings I'm fairly new to the technical side of bowling, from what I've mention, do you think this is a carrydown issue or too much oil and I need a stronger ball for these conditions? If you believe it's carrydown, would a stronger ball help or is there no solution to carrydown? Thanks for helping me out, i love learning from all of you.
