Scorched backends..........
« on: June 06, 2008, 06:15:46 AM »
Recently moved to a new bowling center due to closing of the old. First 2 weeks of the summer league have been a disaster as I have not been able to
overcome the hook crazed backends.  I have able to get some length from various angles up 5, crossing 20 but the backends have been the death of me.
I am using a polished Saturn (too strong), Mystic both balls drilled pin up.  
Any ball suggestions for conquering scorched backends.

What IS a "negative drilling"?  Is it a layout with the pin to PAP distance greater than 6 3/4"?  Or is it a layout with the pin to the MF side of the centerline?  A layout that results in negative side weight?  Or is it something completely different?  I find the term to be very ambiguous because each bowler has a unique PAP location.  --  JohnP

Someone just suggested the Brunswick Solid Avalanche or one of the Vibes, I was thinking maybe the blue Vibe.  The drilling suggested was an arc layout.

That is the reaction that I like on flying backends.  Long pin to pap layouts allow you to get some more length and yet leave some surface on the ball, so that it doesnt snap on the backend.

Coach: thanks for your input.  Seen some video for the solid avalanche, had a nice look.  Read some bad things about the pearl version, hyped up plastic ?
