    The hardest was years ago when I first bowled in the Brunswick World Team Challenge. Basically it was a gutter to gutter flat oil shot, it was the last year they used that pattern.

    Right handed Stroker, high track ,about 13 degree axis tilt. PAP is located 5 9/16” over 1 3/4” up.Speed ave. about 14 mph at the pins. Medium rev’s.High Game 300, High series 798

    So am I. I've been throwing between 12 and 13mph lately when I throw down the 10 board. Though during practice, I switched to the 15 board in my third game and my ball sped up to 15mph. It's why I hate dry lanes.

    Bowled on the US Open patter a few times and I think of the shot as "The Great Equalizer." Tough tough tough shot.

    Pro tour shot. The lanes i went to put down that shot, and didn't tell me. It took me 3 games to believe it before I made the adjustments.

    Dry and Dirty in the Summer.

    Just awful to control. Much rather battle oil and make the adjustments.

    Any lane that is like bowling on a cinnabun. Whenever I am on a dry lane it seems that I have the hardest time finding the line. Inevitably I struggle to get a high game.
    I am seriously thinking about getting the Blue Hammer urethane ball for this situation. I had a 16 pounder Blue at one time and it was great for this type of alley.
