The great one says:
quote:
just to let everyone know, i was standing edge of my right foot on 20 for the hexplosion, 6 left of that for the freakazoid, 3 more left and about 8 on the lane with the rule, then back to the same breakpoint 4 more left with my feet with the animal untaimed.. As far as the surface prep, the freak a zoid has a coat of delayed reaction on it, the hexploison was hit with 1000 grit sand paper, then clean n' sheen. The rule was hit with 800 grit sand paper, followed by 320 grit columbia degree polish, then 600 polish. The au i had shined up for a while, it tracked itself, then i just used a white pad with clean n' dull on it, i'll post about the other 2 tomorrow when the videos are added.

bowl doc and rick,
I understand what you're saying, honestly when i am on a harder or wetter shot, i do have my right foot on the ground. If there is an ob or something, also my left arm goes left fairly quickly, instead of staying in front of me as in the videos on a THS. Keeping it in front allows me to stay open longer, thus projecting the ball right. On the ob shots, i'll close up alot sooner, getting the ball into an earlier roll, and not getting it out as far. As i posted on a differnt topic, i'm bowling a pba regional on the world championship shot, so it will be a test.
