Ebonite man

Looks like the downhill slide continues. This has just been an off season on a personal level and for the team. Had a good pair last night in 35-36 and just could not get real comfortable. The lanes were oiled fresh and backends stripped, so I expected the ball to really move. Decided the best choice would be the Mutant Cell since I wanted to lessen the entry angle. Even this ball came in at a fairly steep angle and I left a ripping 7-10 during practice. This set the tone for the rest of the night. Leaving solid 8s, 9s, 10s and the token 7-10 were a common occurance. Couple this with not being able to string more than a double and scoring was poor. I can attribute the last game due to poor execution, but the first 2 games, I only missed the pocket once. The new equipment just doesn't seem to work for my game with the oil pattern that is being put out. I will go back to the NV and Big One next week and play a flatter shot. Since the season is already a lost cause as far as the team goes, now is the time to experiment. 39-40 is next and the Big One will most likely be the go to ball. I will put the Virtual Energy and Mutant Cell into tournament only use since I think I need to have heavier oil to do well with this equipment. I may look into getting a another Ebonite ball in the off season, but I most likely will use the NV and Big One until they are tracked out. I had high hopes at the beginning of the season, but now I can't wait for it to end. I may go practice this weekend with the old Ebonite stuff just to get used to the reaction again. Hope things turn around next week.
