My average has went down significantly in the last two years and I have attributed it to getting more bowling knowledge. Back when I had my ebonite xxcel as my only ball, I was a 225-230 bowler. Just good enough to get my head big and try some pba regionals. I have studied layouts and ball dynamics the last two years, bought a used pro shop that I have in the basement and probably drilled 100 balls for myself at least. I showed up every bowling night with a different set of 6 balls that were supposed to work for the condition and when I didn't throw a strike, I switched to the "right" ball. Without any consistency of equipment, I went from 230 down to 210 in two years. I have made up my mind that I am just using a domination and agent for the rest of the year. I may pick up a thunderstruck pearl for fried lanes. I will adjust with the balls on the lane and blame "nonstrikes" on my and not the ball. I hope get closer to my average from 2 years ago with this plan. Anyone else go through want I'm going through?
