Thanks for the response. What you are saying really does seem to me what had happened. 3 games of bowling plus whatever open bowling occured during the day, but the backends were still flying for me. Granted the Sonic X pearl I was using is drilled with the pin below my fingers and at about the leverage position, but I was still standing on the board I use for converting the 6-10 with my plastic ball. Enough people were using sponges that the oil disappeared in the head and track and never carried down.
It was realy frustrating to bowl that poorly, yet have the other team not even shoot less than 600 a man , one almost 700.
