A side note on soaking your (bowling) balls. Make sure to keep water out of the finger or weight holes. The core materials can drink up water and there's no getting it back out.

Position night Wednesday , we swept , w00h00 . Shot about 590 or so , was able to make shots at the end of games , so it was all good .
Critical: Must try the other pro shop , even if they don't drill anything up differently . If you don't have confidence in your equipment, it might as well be a pillow in your hand.

Folks around here are starting to use DV8 equipment ,seems like a good match at this one house; the other one, well you never know what the shot's gonna be.

565 at this house; going to grab my Cell and attack it with scotchbrite.
Blow a big 'ol hole in the pattern and to hell with it.

Wow , did I suck Sunday. Going duller and more aggressive was an epic failure. Finally grabbed the Total Inferno and got some decent reaction . Need to get over and practice at that house.

197-214-214 only one open the first two games, so that was good. Discovering that I can overpower the lane ;blowing away the 6 pin. Went left and took a tick of speed out to good effect, it's odd to be striking at 13-14 MPH , but that what works.

Amazing amounts of crud come off a ball that way..But getting lower never hurts

One of my local houses has just re-coated their lanes ,stupid amounts of length and snap. I'm even more confused.

Sunday : still fighting the re-coated lanes ,but made a little headway
Wednesday : Shot my 615 there . No bowling tonight(kidlet is marching in a parade) but just still frustrated . Has anyone ever played with laser pointers for instruction? Looks like one of the super duty green ones would be the ticket.

Punch up a spare ball for corner pins .. Cheap investment and will raise your average quicker .

630 last night , but only two opens . Was able to mark and strike on the 10th frame and got them won by 2 and 6 pins . On to the third quarter!

I'm gonna try a bastard rejuvenation.. Do you remember the Ebonite reviver?
It used a dome and an absorbent to wick oil out. Time to visit the pool supply store...

660 last night 222-245-193 ;just ran out of gas the last game .. 9-0 match so we should be up to 2nd. Total inferno just matches up so damned well,had 10 in a row across the back of the second , first three of the third.

Really fighting the 10 pin the last few weeks. Only way I get good carry is to lower my ball speed to 13 or so MPH. Crazy , but it works . It's very hard to throw the ball softer when you're getting tapped 169- 217 - 211 = 597 ,on a 183 average; I'll take it...

211-204-205 last night ; one of the hardest 600's I've ever shot. Eleven 10 pins , FFS. Took 7 of 9 points from first place , so we'll be in the top 5 methinks.

flacoman954
Nov 9, 2009
193-235-180, more importantly , took all 9 points . 1st to 6th were 5 points apart ,so we're ready for position round next week

A Nerf football is a good tool for watching revs and axis tilt. A quick round of catch ,underhand lets you see what's what.
