Do any of you move outside once the track starts to dry up on a THS.

I generally chase the oil inside, but several of the guys in our league are moving right and throwing straiter, rather than arcing the shot out to inside.

What is the best type of ball and surface to use if I want to move right. My ball driller thinks that a strong ball stacked at around 11:00,  with more surface and less or no polish will get through the dry better and retain more energy down lane. My thought was that a strong ball with less surface and some polish would likely get through the heads better and retain more energy off of the break point.

Who is correct? I have pretty much settled on Ultra Zone, drilled stack, for to play this shot.

Thanks

Not sure about rev rate, but ball speed 14 mph Quibica. I have a Desert Heat that I may pull out and try it, as compared to the Ultra, once it is drilled.

Lane,

I have a power machine plugged and ready to be redrilled that I was thinking would be a better choice than the Ultra Zone for this task. I am a stroker, with a moderate, rev rate, 300-325, ball speed 14-16.  You are correct in your assessment about throwing the ball extremely hard. That is what these guys are doing. Playing down hill, and throwing hard. It seems to work.

I may still end up back inside for the third game after all is said and done, but I do want to try this adjustment and learn to play down 2 to 5 consistently. I see several of the pros doing it, although on much more difficult shots.

I've started playing that line with an old pin-in-palm Ebonite Turbo after 2 games in league.  I throw it pretty hard and stay behind with maybe 20* of axis rotation.  It doesn't overreact and you can use the track carrydown as hold.  Strong balls are just a headache for me on that line, lots of tough spares and/or poor carry if it finds the pocket.  

Good luck!

I sometimes do this depending on where everyone has been playing. I usually go to my power groove that is drilled pin beside ring, stacked, with a 1/2" hole an inch or so right and just below the pin. The layout gives me a weaker ball with a rolly drilling that doesn't want to overreact.
