Arsenal for USBC
« on: March 08, 2007, 04:37:04 PM »
I bought a Black Widow in anticipation of the trip.  Essentially drilled with the #1, skid/flip layout, OOB.  I was originally going to bring the surface down to about 1000 (I'm a medium revs, higher speed kind of bowler).  I've had good success with this type of drilling/cover prep in the past.  However, after reading initial reports, and learning I will be on fresh oil for Team and S/D, I'm thinking about a Special Agent, with more of an even rolling layout.  

No new ball

BW (1000)
Shock Trauma (even rolling drill, dull)
Thing Returns
Spare ball

New Ball

Special Agent (even arc drill)
BW (4000, Skid/Flip drill)
Thing Returns
Spare

I MAY have the option of a 5th ball depending on what my brother and dad bring.  

Opinions?

And I know it's the bowler, not the ball,  but having the right ball in your hand can get you a whole lot further.

Well, I received a sign today.  I walked in the pro shop, there was Special Agent on the shelf with nice specs....and it was on sale.  

So it will be

Special Agent, Pin under ring cg kicked out, 800
BW, drilling #1, 4000
Thing Returns, 4x4 pin high, polished
Spare ball

I'm comfortable that if I don't score well it will be due to lack of execution, not because I don't have a ball for the condition.  

I really don't want to work this week, Wednesday seems SO far away

Practiced on the pattern yesterday. I know it wasnt exact, but gave me an idea. I got a nice look early with a No Mercy although, I'll probably adjust the surface a little before I go. Later I was able to bank a Red Zone off of the track I had created. So those 2 for sure along with a Rampage and havent decided on a 4th yet. Either a Radical , but I'm not too confident with it or I've been leaning towards a Toxic to fit in between my Red Zone and Rampage. I tend to use the Rampage for right side spares also.Two weeks from today WOOHOO!

No Mercy
Red Zone
Rampage
Radical or Toxic
