toomany, this may be true if you play similar conditions all the time, but lane conditions, other than house patterns, dont often just come in "oily, medium, and dry". With vertually any ball i throw, i may start playing around 22 to 15 at the arrows, say, but 3 frames later move half a board at my set down point, then a few frames later adjust my target slightly, and so on. No-one is trying to be rude about your question, simply saying that you should base the line you are playing solely on the conditions that you are facing at that moment.
To answer your question in the simplest of terms, i released the ball around 23 throwing over 16 at the arrows, then by the end of practice i had to move in and was playing sumwhere around 24/25 and throwing over 17/18 at the arrows. By the later part of the first game I was releasing 27 throwing over 20 at the arrows. I think in the last frame i threw this line with the Polished Quest, for a strike. I had 194 this game
I made similar moves in the second game (change lane after eash games, so the area i was playing was preffy fresh) and shot 204. For the next 3 games I used the polished Quest. for the 5 game set i finished 4 over. This was on the WTBA Long pattern, around 42-44 ft long.
