Dirty Back Ends

It means to change the surface....

Could you explain what you mean by increase the surface? Does that mean change the finish on the ball, or throw it differently?

Yes change the surface texture of the ball. Increasing the surface means to either go to a lower grit and/or not use any polish. Your trying to increase the friction of the ball.

Palming the ball really isnt the issue. in our local house when the backends are dirty all bowlers have issues with the ball reacting. I hear that i dont have control over the ball everytime I tell someone how i bowl and then when they see me bowl that is never brought up again. So fetus what do you do when you your ball does not perform on the back end like it should.

I tend to loft the ball more and if it ever gets really bad I find my intuition is better than trying to figure out marks and I switch to pin bowling.

Well i went bowling tonight and once again the back ends were bad. I bowled very well for the lane conditions 185,170,234,182,174,224 and 167. Scores went up an down but i am happy wit how i bowled. 167 game had a few splits i just couldnt manage to get. So hopefully by the end of the year i will get better with the splits.
