It's easy to say what to do, because there is a definite way to attack each different sport shot, and since there are guidelines for what constitutes a sport shot, that really just reduces the variables to amount of oil. Drier inside, oilier outside, and yes, accuracy is the key. Usually the backends are very strong, and if you make a good shot, the reaction is there to reward you. Most people attack from the inside, even though it's drier, because just the angle your ball is taking to the right will give it some length to begin with. Then your speed will also give it length, and by the time it starts checking up, it's almost to the backend, and then the reaction will carry it in. It's harder to play outside in the oil because of the smaller area you have to work with. There are usually about 3 or 4 boards out there you can play, but the key is angle. You absolutely MUST go straight up these boards. A little to the right, and you're skating, a little to the left and it takes off. The main key is accuracy though, if you hit spots, you're gonna strike. If you're aiming at the pocket, that is. The close second key is spares. Leaving makeable spares and picking them up will give you around a 190 every time. And since you've been on tough conditions before, you know that if you can shoot that kind of game everytime, you're gonna be far ahead of the guys that go 220-140.
