Last night during league, I started out throwing my Wired.  The typical conditions are a THS, oil amounts varying but not very widely.  I usually throw standing 20-25, out across 10-15, depending on the condition at the time and adjusting as the night goes on.  Ball speed is usually between 15-16 mph.

Last night, I threw my first shot standing 20 and throwing over second arrow.  Ball hit the target, but made a strong jump on the backend and came in on the nose.  I moved inside for my next shot, 2 boards keeping the same target.  Ball came in way soft, taking dead aim at the 3 pin.  Normally indicating I got hung up in the oil, but my ball speed was just over 14!  I don't see that low of speeds unless I play way outside and get caught up in the dry too long.  I moved further inside for grins, and again ball speeds 14mph area.  I moved the backswing up a bit and got over 15, but the ball was hitting like a pumpkin.  

I ended up switching to a ball that makes it further down the lane, before making the turn.  This allowed me to get a nice angle to the pocket, but I am baffled why for one whole game, the ball looked like it was caught in oil, but the speeds indicated otherwise.  I felt good throwing the ball, and even the hit wasn't the normal power I usually see.  
Anyone have any ideas?

D <~~~~ Used to be terrible wiffing 10 pins.  Now through much practice, can wiff any single pin spare at any time.
