layout help

[Amyers]

from the links provided below it sounds like it is designed for lower rev players, and it gives symmetrical balls an asymmetrical reaction

Shane, you might want to check on that I could be wrong sometimes I get confused but I think it's exactly opposite of that

I'm Guessing you might be rev dominate with a low tilt, so I'd think you'd might want to go with the smoother transitions of a symmetrical ball, With a high Rg, medium to lower differential and a long Pin to PAP for more length.

Plus you would use layouts with larger angle sums for the shorter patterns and lower volumes of oil.

You could also try a asymmetric with a shorter Pin to PAP distance.




on the rico, brunsnick's says it the simplest "This layout is used simply for stability and a predictable ball reaction." I don't think it would help you in this instance.

32 ft pattern?

What is this, a bowling alley for ANTS? /zoolander.

It's center for kids that don't know how to bowl good and stuff.

That's a very short pattern, and if you [truly] have medium revs, then you're really looking for something closer to a urethane or a low-flare hybrid maybe.

I would consult a pro shop (particularly if there's one at this miniature bowling alley you go to, because they're probably used to this!)

lol yes this is a very old house only eight lanes and it is very close quarters so you do feel giant sized, yes he uses 32 feet but that is because his lane surfacer is older than me and it dumps oil on pretty heavy so the first 32 feet are like ice. i am low rev but i'm also low budget lol the wife hates it when i spend money on a new ball so i try to reuse as much as i can first and since these lanes a known for scuffing up every ball i figure there is no sense in buying a new one just for this house. and nobody i know has a used urethane locally and i really don't trust online used sales.

lol i would love to invite you to come bowl at the ant lanes, where nobody knows how to bowl except the owner/operator. 32 feet sucks, then add the fact that the oil is level from gutter to gutter and all the carry down, there is no consistency on these lanes unless you throw a plastic ball straight up the center arrow

This sounds like the pattern I used to bowl on 20 years ago. The best thing I ever found for it was pearl urethane. You might find one laying around as a house ball somewhere. I had a blue pearl urethane ha ever that was magic on that stuff
