Hey guys,
I was wondering if you had some advice for me. I bowl on a THS (wet middle and long/dry outside of 2). I average 205. I just had 2 balls drilled for me that I've wanted for specific reasons. I was already throwing a Columbia300 Pure Physics, usually 17 to 8. I got a Roto Grip Critial Theory drilled that can play in the oil a little more and still have a strong finish. I'm throwing that ball anywhere from 20-25 to 15-5 depending on the shot that night. Everyone in my house throws the same stroker/tweener shot between 5 and 10 so it breaks down very quickly. That ball is awesome by the way. I then had a Storm Tropical Breeze Pink/Purple drilled for when the lanes break down and I don't have the strength to go deeper. The issue I have is I don't know where to go back to and start throwing the Storm. What line should I pick up? Obviously I don't have practice between games 2 and 3 which is when I'd like to go to the weaker ball. The Storm won't play the line I start the night with the Critical Theory. Do you guys have any rules you use? I'm thinking something like 15 to 10 or 5 (to play in the breakdown) would work but I wanted some other opinions. So far the Storm hasn't left the bag except for during practice. I've just been moving closer to 25 an playing close to 3.
Thanks for your help. It's awesome that sites like this exist. There's not many coaches around and barely any alleys left to seek advice.
