Hey guys, so as much as I know to receive help here is limited, I still figured it'd be a good idea to post this and see if I can't get any ideas to practice on.
So yesterday, I went to bowl at Brunswick Harbor Lanes, and those lanes were fresh man.. I mean FRESH!
When ever my coach would say the lanes were fresh, my heavy oil ball, the Storm Crux, would hook well for me considerably. I would play up about the ten board or second dot on the lane, and my ball would usually comeback, progressively more as the oil were soaked up by it's sanded cover.
With that being said, it's been months, maybe years, since I've played on a house shot this fresh! I used the Crux for this, and it would barely hook three boards. The ball would almost always come up light, hitting at about the 6 pin leaving a 7 or 6 count.. It was a disaster.
I'm a lower rev player, and I wondered as to if there are ways I can work on getting a higher, maybe not significantly, rev rate. I can hook the ball enough so it has drive going through the pocket, but I would appreciate a little more! Some people say if you don't start learning the technique of a cranker or whatever it is you want to do when you're young, it'll be much harder to ever apply such a technique to really rip that ball with high revs.
Another thing I'd like to ask is accuracy tips. For some reason during practice I just could not be accurate on my strike shots! The ball would either go too far right or too far left. Mostly too far right though, even by a couple of boards, like I said, I kept hitting the 6 pin leaving 7 counts.. that's how fresh those lanes were.
I tried backing up on the approach by like, 3 feet or more. It helped considerably, but not a whole lot.
Just looking for things to work on, maybe reving techniques or stuff like that, to help me on those harsh conditions that I rarely ever play on.
Thanks a bunch!
