I've got a question,
We were bowling in our sports challenge league last night
and I wasn't doing to bad 167, 172 on a 42' Masters pattern.
I was using a Charcoal executioner drilled label leverage
and in box condition.
Well I was starting to get really loose end of the second game and my ball speed was going up, which make it hard to throw this ball on this type of condition for me. I switched to my other charcoal drilled 315, but it is
pollished. I was getting somewhat of the reaction that I wanted,
but I think I needed a little more surface on the ball. I shot
a 138 the last game.
My question is:
Being that you can't change the surface of the ball during play,
would it be to my advantage to have two balls drilled 315.
one ball polished, and ball in box condition?
I am fine tuning my aresenal and I am thinking that for me
it would be better to have the balls drilled the same and just
have different covers to handle the different conditions.

Actually, you can change the surface of a ball during play, but only to reduce the amount of surface. IOW, you can polish a ball, but you can't scuff it.
That's why Renew-It is acceptable for use during sanctioned competition, but Liquid Sandpaper is not.
If I were a pro, I would probably carry around a few of my favorite ball, with different drillings and surface preps. Being a lousy house bowler, I don't feel the need to do this.

hmmmm,
So you think I should just carry the 315 dull, and just polish it
if I need to?
