Has anyone bowled on one of these? What is the best way to play this and what type of bowling ball?

I talked to two people at my house the pro shop owner and the employee that worked there. The employee said it was 28 foot and the pro shop owner told me it was 24 foot. Any who I bowled a NICE 123 on it and left.

Could it be oiled to 24', buffed to 28'?

Urethane at the 1st arrow area, or suitcase release with a mild reactive from left to right. Would you know the heaviest volumes??

A B/G Centaur would be way too much for this condition. The cover would be way too strong. If you put the pin at 6 inches on a resin, you just conserve way too much energy and the backend would be uncontrollable unless it was a Scout. Unless you are a fairly straight bowler, something plastic or urethane at the most is going to be the best choice.

If anyone out there is worried about the scores being too high, try duckpin!!

few months back, I bowled on a sport shot that was 23 feet, buffed to 26.
I ended using my smokin inferno and playing up 1st arrow while taking many revs off my normal medium rev release.
my SI drilling pattern is under the ball reviews.
I averaged 193 overall
--------------------
Its hard to play with an inferno and not get burned. Last time I threw my inferno, the opposing bowler definitely got burned.

MY INFERNOS WILL SMOKE YOU!!!

This is probably where difference in style comes in, and why its very hard to recommend balls: for me, placing a pin like that creates an EXTREMELY mild backend reaction with a whole lot of length. Had a rhino pro x and a hot rod pro stock drilled like this, and they were relegated to only bowling on the dryest of patterns (obviously hooked more then plastic, but still could probably be used on something like this).

Maybe for me it would be possible, but for someone like you it wouldn't? I am pretty confident that something with a decently mild cover and a length drilling would work if i REALLY cranked up the speed and played outside. And from what I hear and have seen, the centaur has a pretty mild cover.

Charlie, are you sure that a ball with a weightblock on the perimiter will flare more? I'm not sure, but I seem to think that this really wouldn't make as much difference with flare (as most 3 piece balls have very low diffs). maybe I'm wrong though.

I would get as far right as comfortable, and throw plastic up the boards. If you don't have as much hand then urethane would work too. The last thing I would use is a shiny pearl reactive, because it will want to make a left turn at the end of the pattern. When a ball hooks too much, then you should go for a ball that is smoother off the break, and not one that will go longer. If you are playing outside first arrow, I don't think a great core is really necessary. Just about anything will carry from that angle, and if it doesn't, then my guess would be nobody is carrying as well as you think your ball should be.
