The PAP is measured by reading the oil lines on the ball right? I'm still trying to figure out my own style so it seems to be inconsistent. I have one way of throwing the ball where I cup my wrist on the throw and get a ton of hook on the release, but everyone says it looks funny when I throw the ball. This generates a heavy hook and alot of spin. My other way of throwing it is to keep my wrist straight, I only generate a slight hook when doing this but everyone says it looks like a more correct release.
Maybe I'm not ready for a second ball yet then. I was just tempted to pickup the 2Fast used because it was a good price and I thought it might help in some situations where I consistantly generate too much hook too early on with my 2 furious. I do notice my score drops about 20-30 when the lanes are dry vs wet.
Last night we had some strange lane conditions and no one did great, heavy oil on the outside and dry and maybe even some what warped (the lane itself) up the middle... I'm Embarrassed to say that I Bowled only a 117, (2 gutter balls in the 10th from staying too close to the edge, I was pissed!) a 134 and a 142. Out of the two teams the highest was a 175 for the entire 3 games...and this was from a huge guy using 2 fingers and tossing the ball down lane very hard. Everyone else enjoyed watching the ball do all sorts of weird stuff like spin, start to hook and then just go straight, to spin with never hooking up etc. Only once or twice did I notice any oil lines on the ball, and sometimes only a few 1 inch spots.
Anyways the pro shop that drilled the 2 furious for me (lanes I mostly bowl at) did not measure my PAP before drilling. Should I take the ball somewhere else? Will they be able to tell me if it is correctly setup for me?
