PBA Experience help
« on: May 23, 2009, 06:33:53 AM »
I decided to bowl on a PBA Exp league. 1st 3 weeks are on the chameleon. Is this pattern supposed to be higher volume. I have a cell drilled pin next to ring, mb in strong position, out of box, and a bite drilled pin over ring. I can't seem to get either ball to hook. I also have a rampage drill pin axes, emerald vibe drilled pin over bridge, sapphire zone pin in middle finger

the thing you want to think about is not volume but placement of oil and pattern length the chameleon is 40 ft and is built up in strips so when trying to find your line try at the 5th board just right of 1st arrow 7 or 8 and then 10 which ever gives you the best carry go for it the chances are it will be outside of 1st but make sure the ball will hook back I would recommend the furthest right you should be is just right of your breakpoint i think and throwing it that little bit across your body. try different balls if your benchmark ball doesn't hook back try a stronger ball but with a weak drilling so it maintains it's energy...
hopefully I have helped

We bowled the chameleon first week. On our pair, if you went up 10, the ball never did anything. If you went up 5, almost the same result. A little bit of hook but not enough to get to the pocket. Left of 5, right of 9 is where I played and had some hold inside as long as it wasn't started pointed towards the headpin. By the third game this area was fairly open and had some area to work with.

whoever said size doesn't matter never had trouble with a thumbhole
