Sounds like Land Park bowl. LOL!

xrayjay--How deep can you get?  Some bowlers can play deeper inside lines but the majority don't feel comfortable moving deeper inside.  If you can move deep inside my ball of choice is a Motiv Graffiti Tag with a pin up 5" pin for my stats which are in profile.  What I look for in a ball for this is enough motor/stronger cover to kick out back row and real weak balls unless you can play a straighter line in general won't kick out the back row unless your actual rev rate is very high.

Xrayjay you should bring your team out for the Thursday Night shootout league at Rocklin AMF.

I am still trying to figure out how anyone of any average could think a 39-40 foot house pattern could be tougher than a shorter one.

As for equipment, I would be looking at my ride or blue hammer.

We would like too, but too far for most of us who live in Elk Grove east area.

I don't get it myself. I've heard it was carry down issue for the cause for the change. But, in all the years I've bowled league and tourney's at this house, I almost forgot what carry down was. With the longer oil or even the shorter oil, I see the good bowlers who play straight, still play "up 5"...(it's an inside joke)

I would look into a milder pearl with a lower diff core and higher rg but with a core.  My best experiences on these kinds of patterns are with longer pin-pap layouts (5"+) and a lower pin placement so that the ball doesn't explode off the friction so much.  For the past couple of seasons that ball has been the Dude.

Thanks for the suggestion.
For the most part, this house doesn't really push me into my "danger zone" (past the 4th arrow). I've played the danger zone at other houses with THS and non THS patterns, and this house I don't really need to. Oil pushes outside most of the time...

At 37 ft I would be looking at finding a way to play outside of 10 board.  Sometimes that is possible sometimes it isn't depending on how the early shift breaks the pattern down.  If you can find a ball that lets you stay relatively direct out that is the way to go.  If you have to move in I would go with a strong core pearl that will maintain recovery when you play away from the pocket inside 3rd arrow. 

A lot depends on your game.  I know some really good low rev players who can throw straight up the dirt on a shot like the one described here.  If you are more of a power player getting deep and sending it wide should be no problem.
