« on: December 21, 2010, 12:02:07 PM »
How many out there are using the Prodigy "effectively" for three games in league?

My prodigy is polished and it depends on the rev rate of the bowlers as well as how much surface is used. Some nights when everyone is playing 8-12 I move left and keep going and can throw it 3 games. Some nights 1-1/2 games. Just depends.

I can use it on freshly oiled lanes for league on old wood and also I have it highly polished and drilled to go long.  So with the polish and the drilling it works great hope this help you.

At the beginning of the winter league season, when I still had something resembling oil outside of the 8 board in the front part of the lane, I got to use my very very weakly drilled Prodigy all three games pretty much every night. The first night of winter leagues I shot 800 with it in fact. However, the shot has continually gotten drier and drier as the season has gone on except for a couple of random nights. Last night I started the night swinging a Tropical Heat into the friction, and by the end of the night I was playing very tight to the headpin with a Gravity Shift to avoid the friction outside of 10.

I never get to use it in league, i don't really like shiny stuff so I keep it dull.  Whenever I go to a less friction center for a tourament i have used it up to like 5 or 6 games before I switch to a pearl or ball down of some sort.

Provided you can adjust, all 3.  I've used it very effectively for all 3 games of a league set.  Granted I only bowl in 3 and 4 man team leagues, so fewer bowlers than the typical 5 man teams reduce the amount of lane traffic, so the shot holds up longer.

That's just like, your opinion, man.
