Slo-mo replay
« on: June 05, 2019, 02:59:06 PM »
After watching replay of the Pros on TV I noticed that when the ball went off of the deck in line with the nine pin. the ten pin usually stood. My question. Why don't the ball reps suggest. more surface. more side weight or more top weight.
You would think with all of the speed. revs and power of the Pros , they would never leave so many ten pins. But slo-mo shows the obvious deflection.
I am a slow roller because of my age, and I found I must throw 16 pounds with high gloss in order to carry the ten. A ball with surface hooks early and rolls out. A lighter ball deflects. My best ball so far, has been an old 16 pound AMF cobra highly polished.

Because side weight and top weight mean nothing.

Surface can get the ball to hook early and then not respond enough to the friction when needed down lane and leave a 2-8 or bucket etc.  I'm sure on the tough conditions they can adjust as needed and would rather be close and leave 10pins vs not getting to the pocket and leaving worse. Not factoring if the issue is from entry angle and not speed/good ball motion.

Yeah being on some of the patterns they are on, sometimes leaving an occasion 10 pin isn't the worst outcome possible.  Especially when they are able to convert them nearly every time.
