League nights (pre-Paradigm) I normally play around 12 and start off with my Total Shock to get a read of the lanes, sometimes even play it the first and sometimes second game. Shot making is crucial because I have little room for error. Tug it and hope you don't leave some nasty split combo, push it too far right and it's washout city. When the lanes breakdown it's time to switch to my Sahara, and again I'm playing VERY tight with zero room for error. One thing with the Sahara is the back pins, boy does it like to leave 'em.
The Paradigm laughs at the lane oil!
I do have problems with equipment not finishing down lane properly, and it's no longer a problem with the Paradigm. I really like it's versatility with playing different lines, some of which I never could play. This is the first ball for me that I've been able to swing and actually get it back to the pocket and carry! It's super clean through the heads and just explodes on the backend. It's hard to describe the pin carry, but it's flat out sick!
