going back to straight game
« on: July 07, 2009, 09:11:18 AM »
ok after a whole weekend watching dukes video on youtube, i decided to give straight shot another chance, shot about 650 last night which wasnt too bad

now the question comes to this, i was using an old, columbia outrage, down and in about 2nd arrow... it was hard for me to keep it on the right, i tried to use a jolt solid ricoed, but was too much ball.

would it be a good idea to try a 16lb weak solid for that line? or i stick to the outrage? last night i left back to back solid 9 pin in 1 game...

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

when bowling on a house shot you have more room for error when hooking it because if you miss in it just skids the whole way and out is the friction. when i play straight on a house shot if a miss in it crosses and if i get to the friction too early it still crosses

You might want to try a urethane with a long drilling, or perhaps a pearl urethane. You don't want it to check up too soon, but you also don't want it snapping too hard in the back end. As long as you have fairly strong back ends, the urethane ball will hit just as hard as a resin ball. Of course, this won't work for long if you have lots of carrydown, but you could always switch back to resin for later in the set.
