wood lanes with burnt heads ( extremely dry conditions)

[chubbz95]

my question is how do you guys attack these conditions. I have a tourney coming up and always seem to shoot particularly low here.

Storm Natural Pearl straight up five with speed and revs. Or my plastic ball up ten with more revs than speed.

Given i have 1 ball right now....

break wrist down, drop the axis rotation, and adjust position from there lol

post next week:

either plastic or urethane :)

Slingshot up 10 or 13 depending whatever line holds.

4 1/2-7 boards of hook on a burnt up wood lane? Are you throwing it at 30 mph or with that little of axis rotation?

[Greenday]

I get in my car and go home. Hate that crap.

Seriously though, throw my spare ball over the ten board and pray.

[Zothen]

I throw about 17-18(Includes the+2mph)and have a 250-300 rev rate. I'm pretty much a down & in/straight up bowler and I can play the tight/straight line like a Walter Ray or Chris Barnes. My Slingshot works pretty good on these conditions to where I can maintain my average.

I end up pulling out the plastic spare ball. Still can't go straight with it, but at least it stays on the lane.

practiced today. used a hy-road for a first game of 179. used a storm natural pearl for the last two and shot 212 and 177. I decided to practice more and threw two incredible games being that conditions were terrible 244,237, and then threw a terrible 138...who knows if ill even enter the tournament might just skip this one...

I've used some loft at times, instead of going through the heads, I go over them. I learned it by watching Mika.

What? Never surrender!! That 138, were you tiring or having any targeting issues?

[chubbz95]

I wasn't tired at all I was actually hitting my target well I was just coming in high pocket leaving a lot of splits...I wasn't going for count either in the splits often trying to pick them up and coming up with zero...
