Shark is a very tough mental opponent.
The first piece of information I like to give to anyone bowling on tough conditions is Bowling is about knocking over the most pins, not hooking your ball gutter to gutter to impress, don't worry if you ball doesn't hook alot because all you want is the most pins!
Step one....SLOW DOWN, don't think you can throw your regular speed.
The second and most critical step is to have the right surface prep, many think they need a 200 grit rough surface to get any wiggle on the lanes. But the trick is to have nothing lower than 800, when you apply too much surface you won't be able to have any speed control and will get an inconsistent reaction. I recommend using Resurrection, it will finish the ball at 800 sheen, an aggressive but mild surface. 800 to 1000 is where you want to be.
The third step is play deep, there is no way you can play up ten no matter how much surface. Shoot 20 to 15 or 25 to 20
The fourth step is to generate the revs with more hand action, and find the best rev to speed ratio.
The final step and probably the MOST important step is clean your bowling ball every shot, YES EVERY SHOT! and don't clean it with a dry towel, use a cleaner, a dry towel will only push the oil around the surface. Of course I have to recommend our cleaner, Remedy RX, it's a great cleaner for heavy oil and leaves the ball super tacky so you can better read the dry. As long as you clean your ball with something, your going to see better results and be able to repeat shots easier.
Practice makes perfect!
