So I’m two weeks into my first sport league and I’m learning every deficiency in my game. To start, we bowl against other navy bases. So we bowl 6 games on a pattern, and there’s 3 of us. But I’m the only one with any bit of understanding. The other guys are constantly lost.

So I’ve learned....
1) I have no ability to correctly break down a lane. I was all over the place. Trying to see if my turmoil solid matched up better or my hyroad. Both are OOB. Although I know now to modify that surface to take the shine off.

2) I suck at angles. Last week was rough accuracy-wise but this week I was in the pocket all night but angles killed me. I couldn’t get a solid grip on being in the right spot in the pocket. I was always coming up just a bit high or too deep and the back row of pins was constantly staring at me. And no matter how much i adjusted, I still couldn’t get a good angle in the pocket.

3) my game is so suited for down and in that the moment I have to switch up to a different line, my mental game isn’t strong enough. I’m constantly doubting everything.

4) I have the worst carry and often get left with splits.


But it leads me to my next decision on my next ball purchase. My arsenal like I stated is the turmoil solid, hyroad live, and after dark pearl. All balls are currently at OOB. Now I plan on adding surface to my hyroad, it just reads too late shiny for me.

So I was pretty sure the crux prime was going to be my next ball. And I was going to hit the turmoil at a higher grit to give it extra length.

But after realizing that my angle game sucks and I had the best look from my no longer fitting correctly no rules pearl, it gave me a better look but it was also later in the set, if something more angular may actually be better for me. Maybe the halo pearl or a physix or intense fire

This league has really changed the way I see bowling. And I usually bowl way better on house after the sport shot roughs me up.

Well halo pearl won out. I LT particulate has looks better in person than the pictures make it out to be. And getting it in my hands a week before release is extra appealing. I’m gonna try it oob Saturday on the sport and I can see surface changes possibly in the future

Use surface, slows the ball down and you see the pattern. Stop using OOB shine.

planned on it.  i had him take my hyroad to 3000 today too.  but i wanna throw the halo pearl oob before i make surface adjustments

That should be my YouTube channel when I start one.

Good luck with the Halo Pearl, I think it will be a good addition and you are taking the right approach on trying it oob, but open to surface changes.

One thing jkirkerx mentioned that is worth rementioning.... unless you are a PBA pro, even on sport shot, it's important to work with your A game first and foremost.  You need to repeat shots and be consistent.  Then you have a good arsenal to find the right reaction on the right day.
