i wish I could speak - in the proper bowling terms-- I have been reading for three weeks -- but bottom line is -- I am not speaking proper language.
Threw the Ebonite Source over the summer-- High series-650-- Stood on 7th board and throw 8 to the 11th guiding the ball into the pocket- slower speed more movement-- high speed ball slides past the head pin --
So I have two post running --try to condense-
I don't know the tilt becasue the pro I am using -- never measures me or watched me long enough to find out what I need compared to how I throw-- nor did he find the CG-- using a little piece of tape - I assume or hope he is giving me my PAP from measuring the Source-- I hope-- but have a funny feeling he is just tweaking a label layout.
I bought the Zero Gravity-- Still not happy-- So i have an Old Hammer Deuce, Ebonite Source and Zero Gravity-- three different lines
Hammer stand on 5 throw on 8th light pocket getting good mix old 16 lbs
Source stand 7 throw 8 board at 14 mph high pocket hit creates "gift" strikes-- increase speed to 16-17 mph-- ball slides right by pocket i know move to board to the right and throw 8th at 16 mph-- w
gravity stand 9 throwing 8-10th board 16mph coming in high-- move over two board to 11 throw 10 leaving 10 pin with solid pocket hit or ball hits high and leaving 3-6-10 or 3-6-10-9.
I realized yesterday that the better bowlers at my house stand 3-4 and throw 5-8 guiding ball -- really --never saw anyone standing on 20 throwing 11 and ball snapping back unless they miss and get so far outside--5th board where there is no oil-- then ball beaks hard and solid pocket shot-- or lucky
Well guess i need to learn more-- and communicate better. Definetly going to find a new pro-- just not happy with house pro-- really believe the reason everyone is throwing the same line is no matter what ball he drills it is geared to use that straight stand 5 hit 8th and guides in because -- i see the high rev crankers and low rev strokers all throwing about the same line.
