Scorpion....is it just me?
« on: January 06, 2011, 10:09:45 PM »
Well, our sport league just put out Scorpion on relatively new pro anvilane and needless to say it is confusing the hell out of me.  The wierd part is, it seems to not be confusing anyone else.  There was even another lefty on my pair that was able to create angle and some back end movement to the pocket, it seemed all around me other bowlers had something, I had nothing.  Tried several different balls, different lines, finally ended up pointing it off the corner with speed praying that I didn't leave a 5-10. 


So I have to wonder....it is me? 

 

I can answer this question by asking you all a question, how do you play Scorpion?  (line, speed, etc)

 

What equipment do you use, surface, layout, etc.

for me on the right side i can play it with different angles as long as the break point is between 8-11.  i can go straighter with a 2fast or something like that or move in with my anaconda and swing it out to 10 or so.

higher friction lane surfaces i can go up 4-5 with surface or lower RG cores on the fresh and make lateral moves out balling down when needed. lower friction would be up 5, 6 or 7. i have always had over/under when i play it "properly" and play in bouncing off 7-8
