Reax on Kegel dead mans curve
« on: May 19, 2013, 06:56:02 PM »
Tournament today on the dead mans curve pattern. First practice shot with Reax I tried straight up the 5 board (I knew this was out of bounds) ball went straight for the 10 pin like a plastic ball would. I ended that test real quick and moved in...2nd arrow...nothing...The only playable shot was between 2nd and 3rd arrow with slower then normal speeds. By game 2 the pattern opened up a bit and was able to get decent reaction, 3rd game the ball worked better and was able to play up 10. "OIL MONSTER"? Im not so sure about. On the house shot in my league the ball was a beast, on the dead mans curve pattern....It was OK....but to be fair nobody, no ball had a great reaction in game one.

Adjusting speed, tilt, rotation, and ball roll are all the fine arts of bowling on a tougher condition. Whatever ball, surface, hand position, and release you have to use to get the ball to face up (Or fall back) is what you do. If you had to throw it slower, so what? It's not your THS. If you had to use charcoal, so what? If you had to play up 14 all night, so what? This is how you get better.

Precisely.  I do wonder why it's preferable to throw "a certain ball" as opposed to "the one that strikes".

That applies to zones on the lanes (arrows to breakpoint) too.

Impending,

Oh was there a long post on right vs left out here recently.

My comments are because I have never seen a Righty of any level on any pair I have ever been on tear up a first game on a flat wet pattern of any tournament.  But soon the shot comes to them.  Usually by the second game.  Friction.

Also, very few lefties.  In addition the low rg high diff hook monsters are very seldom the answer either.

On the left, again I am aware of the what the righties say about us...if many bowlers are throwing up the port side.

Regards,

Luckylefty
PS I think a Brunswick Strikeking might nr a super flat oil ball, hmm?  A Reax a super league heavy oil ball 10 to 10.

The game is played different left to right.   2 different games played on the same lane.  Accept it and move on.

Ok I will.

The Right side has it easier than the Left side when talking this much oil.
You have many more Righties to help break the shot down than us Lefties do. Most of the time we are left to our own devices.

What if a lefty found a way to line up in the first 5 shots of the pattern?  Then theoretically he wouldn't have to move until the righties crossed into his track in the later blocks.  It goes both ways.  The left/right debate is just stupid.  Bowlers just bowl.
