Need help with ROLLOUT!!
« on: September 13, 2004, 06:06:16 AM »
Here as of late, my ball is rolling out early, and I don't have alot of revs going into the pocket, causing weak hits.  I've polished it, and changed different things with my release, but my roll out problem still happens.

Sometimes the ball hits like a 10#er, because of the lack of revs going into the pocket. Terrible splits, and no pin action.

So my question is, what can I do to get more carry, and to stop the roll out?
Is the rollout causing the weak hits? Just wondering if you guys can help me out, thanks.

I'm working with a guy now on this, but I was wanting some input from some of the guys here.

More options are better than not enough......

I may be needing some help here, but I thought that one of the cures for rolling out would be to get the ball out of the dry and change your line, rather than a revs problem?  If the ball is too aggressive for the line you are using, then you have to either move inside or give up and switch balls.

As for splits, aren't splits caused mostly by an over aggressive shot, which blows pins straight out instead of causing deflect?

When my ball rolls out early, it dies down before it gets to the pocket, and hits like a marshmellow. That's where the splits come from, the soft hit.

Which ball is in question here? I take it, its the Icon? If its the Icon that is rolling out, just switch. Theres obviously not enough oil and theres no poin in throwing it!
