GP2 trial 2 Turns Things Around
« on: February 16, 2005, 05:41:37 PM »
I bowled tonight again with my GP2... Much better than my first attempt... I tried to throw it a bit quicker and seemed to really work... When I hit my mark and got in the pocket it crushed the pins not even a change for any to stand... If i pulled it a little right it would hold in the oil and carry nicely... If i missed really far left it would get in the dry quickly make a sharp turn and carry great... If i hit it light it would send the pins flying and carry... Only time it didn't carry is if i missed my mark just a little left it would recover to the pocket but leave a solid 7 every time... Is this normal??? Was it just rolling up dead with no energy left?? If so then why when i missed really far left and it got to the dry earlier did it carry so much better... Anyways very happy with the ball only put 6 games on it so far so will have to see how it works in this tourney saturday... Thanks again for all the help here is the drilling...

Glad to hear frock.  What it sounds like you did was just delay the roll of the ball by increasing speed so Sammy's idea may not be bad for the condition you currently see.  You may not necessarily need to "high" gloss it but maybe a little polish would allow you to clear the heads easier without having to throw it harder which may take you out of your "A" game.  Just a thought....

I really like how I was throwing it harder... It seemed like i was hitting the ball alot smoother...  I never pulled it over the headpin and it seemed it help me get a good release everytime... I have trouble sometimes coming over the top of the ball and i don't think i did it once when i was throwing it harder...  I shot 199 244 235 ...  Everything just seemed much tighter and I was on balance alot move and it keep me from really behinding alot at my waste... Thanks for the help
