Hey guys, I went to a Brunswick Zone yesterday. Never been to this alley before. I haven't bowled since league ended and wanted to get in some practice. First thing I noticed was my ball was barely turning. By no means to I consider myself a cranker type bowler but I've reached the point where I thought I was at least a low level tweener. Usually roll around 13 board at the arrows to around 7 at the break during league at my regular alley. Even in the 1st game, on fresh oil I am not able to play up 5 board without taking hand out or crossing over. Yet yesterday this is what I had to use for my strike line. I use a Hammer Hot Sauce pearl which I have at 4000 with polish, so I know this would not be considered a heavy oiler. Just surprised at how little it turned though.
My question is, should I assume I was just on heavy oil and not worry about it? I'm wondering if I was possibly doing something different in my release. I sorta always thought one THS was the same as the next. Is there a way of knowing your on heavy oil besides just the ball reaction?
