Not necessarily Track related, but I'll make it when he's using his Animal to make it fit better. He's been trying to get back to how he was bowling in '97, why, I don't know. He was well over 200 last year with some very big numbers on occassion. This year he's under 200 with a lot of very small games. It seems the biggest changes he's made were to slow his ball speed and throw it out wider. When he's using his Animal, I think he's burning it up on the outside as he has decent revs, but the ball just doesn't make it back with any oomph!! Occassionally, he gets ticked at how he's bowling and you'll see an increase in ball speed and a more inside line -- WHAM! -- right in the pocket for a killer strike. He says "That's not what I wanted to do!"?!?!? WTF!?!?! First, am I right in saying the ball's burning up on him? He's got the Animal at box condition and, although we have long, decent oil, it's still a THS and is pretty dry wide. Second, how do I, a two year bowler with many hours logged here, tell someone who's a 30+ year bowler what's going on?
