This is a forum post on bowling community written by CoachJim about fresh vs heavy oil
"This is what the saying "Less is More" means.
I have been saying this for a long time on this site, that heavy oil balls should be saved and only brought out for actual heavy oil. There is a huge difference between heavy oil and fresh oil.
1.On fresh oil, pretty much every ball will make it to the end of the oil pattern, the aggressive ball will read early and burn early, medium oil ball will have a sharp break, light oil ball will over skid and come in behind the head pin.
2.On heavy oil, only the heavy oil ball will give a decent reaction, the medium oil ball will over skid and deflect when it hits the pocket.
3.The best way to tell if your ball is too aggressive for the lane, the ball will deflect back through right of the 9 pin as it goes through the pocket and leave weak 10 pins or 8-10 splits. This is why it is very important to watch the ball all the way through the pins. If the ball drives through the left of the 9, the ball is not aggressive enough."
What im getting from 1 is that a ball will hook early and have no energy when it hits pins
on 2 a ball skid too far and when it hooks it will bounce off pins do to no energy
and on 3 i dont understand
Am i correct on the first two? And can someone explain 3 to me por favor
