Stats: 16-17 mph, 3-350 rpm, tweener, most comfortable playing a down and in shot as I've converted from a swinger.
Back story: I've recently changed my from and release and follow through, used to come around the ball quite a bit, couldn't release consistently, was a 201 average in league at one point, but had dropped to a 178, started working with a coach to come up the back of the ball, first league night out with it, 646(And really didn't even through it THAT well as I'm still getting used to it), fair to say I'm a believer in his methods and I've already started to gain quite a bit of confidence. Even before this move I was going to update my arsenal, but now I definitely feel it's time.
Current Arsenal: Hammer Raw Burn(Pin Above Ring), Hammer Vibe Onyx(Pin Above Ring), Hammer Razyr(Pin Below Ring)
What I'm trying to accomplish, right now as I'm adapting to the new form and release I am rolling the ball a little slower than I normally would, that coupled with the fact that our house has been REALLY dry in league, I've been using the Razyr and throwing a straight down and in shot and that has worked well. But I know once my speed comes up and there is any oil out there, I will struggle to get my Razyr to the pocket, which our house sometimes throws out a medium-heavy pattern for league. Also I plan on bowling in quite a few tourneys and in my experience at least around here(Indiana) they are typically HEAVY oil patterns. So all of that being said, I plan on keeping the Razyr for extremely dry conditions, now I need something as my benchmark ball for when my speed comes up and there's any oil or carry down and I also need something for HEAVY conditions.....thoughts, suggestions? Also if you suggest a ball, what drilling do you think I should go with for said ball?
GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR FEEDBACK! If you need any additional info please let me know as I am new to this kind of forum and new to bowling specs as I have just recently gotten REALLY serious about bowling.
