dry lane solution
« on: February 04, 2009, 03:59:43 AM »
My Wednesday morning league has almost no oil on the lanes.
I resorted today to using my 14 lb white dot that I normally use for spares as my strike ball.
And it even hooked for the most part. I stood 23 and threw 5.
Had one good game with it but it tends to leave single pins due to weight issue.
I need a Storm or RG ball that is good for dry lanes with good carry.
I have a 15lb Neptune with a 4X4 drilling and it is sometimes too much for these lanes.
I have a 15 lb Pluto with the 4X4 drilling at OOB finish.
Maybe I should polish it up to a high gloss and try it???
Even though I like it at OOB for some medium conditions.
I do like the carry of these two but like I said the Neptune is too much for this leagues lane condition.
I wonder if polishing the Pluto would diminish its carry power???

Try a Neptune with a 5.5" - 6" pin to PAP over the bridge area
OR
a Visionary polished Blue/Green Centaur
OR
a Brunswick Avalanche Slide.

Can you say spare ball ? ... rolled a 188 and 166 last night (216 avg in that league) and pulled out mine in the 3rd frame of game 3 with an open in the first frame ... and had a 5 bagger and finished with 224.

The best dry lane ball is urethane in my opinion.  Reactive equipment is just too strong for dried out lanes.  Plastic is usually not enough unless their completely scorched and if that's the case then why even bowl?  I've found that urethane not only works well for dry lanes but also carry's really well.
