Moving in off the burn after transition.
« on: April 10, 2022, 08:10:59 PM »
 This is going to sound dumb coming from someone who’s been bowling as long as I have, but I need some help/advice from some of you reactive era guys.

 I’ve never really had a game plan for changing conditions. Just tried my best to read them, and adjust accordingly. But, I always struggle the last game, and don’t guess I really understand “moving left and wheeling it off the burn”.

 Is there a plan?

 What do you look for? A cleaner ball that’s flippier? An overall stronger reaction, or just something cleaner that is quicker response?

 Help me out guys. Never took this part of the game serious enough I guess, and now that I’m almost 62, I sure could use some advice.

Not many guy’s trick at 62 is moving left and circling the lane.

That’s not a trick that’s lane play

False, it is a trick. If you don’t have the appropriate tilt and/or axis rotation the ball will stand up and go forward flagging the headpin.

Absolutely FALSE

No need to fuss about it guys, I’ve been around long enough to know what he means, and no disrespect was meant. He’s just keeping it real, and he’s right, not many my age would be trying to move in and circle the lane.

 From what I’ve gathered in this discussion is that I have an idea of what to do, I’ve just been going about it the wrong way, and with an incorrect mindset.

 Going to get a shiny ball, maybe one with a bit higher RG, with a diff around .050 and a quicker response cover, drill it to flare later than usual, and recognize my current ability and limitation levels.

 Maybe I can do it, maybe I can’t, but either way it’s up to me.

Thanks for the advice and help guys. I’ve often said there was far more knowledge here than people often realized, and this conversation shows that.

High RG + shine sounds like a nightmare unless you’re bowling on gravel.

 â€œA bit higher” doesn’t mean I’m going to something 2.6 or above.

 Much of what I’ve been using has been on the low side, so I was actually talking about a more “middle of the road” type ball.

 Somewhere around 2.50–2.55 with between .050 and .055 diff. Amount of shiny would depend on where it starts to slow down really.

 I agree otherwise. My Tundra Pearl was skid/flip stupidly unpredictable unless they were dead dry or I changed the surface.

 Ive got stuff I can “keep in front of me”, just not a combination that lets me “swing it and bring it”. Like was stated earlier, I may not even be able to anymore, but I think I can, if I find the right combination of things for me.

Gonna try anyway. Tired of coming up short game three.
