Dull balls in the beginning. Keep a very tight line towards the pocket.
I usually starts with my Seek&Destroy @800 grit playing straight up the 10-12th board. And when its starts too hook to much i move in, but i tend to keep my  breakpoint at the 10th board.

I've not bowled on Shark in a very long time, but I do remember that until the lanes breakdown, it's best to also have slower speed then say if you were on Viper.

You may be the better bowler, but my car would blow the doors off of yours.

I haven't had much experience since I've only played on it twice, but I agree w/ azus on the break point. I've sent some shots right of 10th arrow and was happy if I left 1-2-4 or 1-2-4-7.

Keep ball speed down when it's fresh. I've used my Pin Slasher to open both weeks, so far. 1st time around, ball was at 1000A w/ light polish. Worked better than I thought it would on the fresh shot. I didn't have to make a ball change for the 4 game set that 1st week. 2nd time around, I started w/ the Pin Slasher @ 2000A. Lasted about 2 games before I went to a Gravity Shift @ 2000A.

i attack shark with my cell pearl (box finish @ 1500 polish) , it is the only oil pattern where i can throw it, i try to keep the break point down lane but inside, once the 5-6th game comes along, it gets really hard, heads are gone but still cant go outside far, normally i look about 15 to 10 and move left as the night goes on

I usually start around the 25-27 board with my left foot and aim for the 8-10 board at my break point, so it would be around 15 - 18 at the arrows? I use a storm paradigm passion pin up, at 5 inch from pap and mas bias 3 1/2 from pap on val @ 800 wet sand or 1k abralon. Then, I switch to a second passion 5 x 5 pin up for slightly more lenght and more backend as the lane dries up some or to a x-factor reloaded 5 x 6 pin under ring at like 4k abralon or slight scuff.

Just bowled this pattern the last two weeks. Used Resurgence at 1000 playing up 8 no swing. By the 3rd game I was playing 15 to 10-12 with Rival. Today we bowl on the Cheetah pattern.
