Soaking bowling ball question

[75lockwood]

Really? im shocked. My best friend cant pick up the 10 to save his life lol. but gets the 7 everytime. And i thought it was just me

try moving right 12 boards and shooting the same target, works for me

It is kind of like golf, you want a nice driver off the tee when you are on a par 5, you wouldn't use a 9 Iron just because you really like it.

If you have seen me hit a driver you would understand why I would tee off with a 9 iron.

I will admit, the more games on a ball, the more often it needs a deep cleaning. Instead of 60-70 like most manufacturers recommend, I end up doing them 30-40 once the games pile up.

I think im going to have to start keeping track and doing that.

I will have to try that if this cupping/2 finger method ever fails on me lol. So far so good. I would try to shoot like like i do the 10 standing on the other side on the lane and either in gutters lil more then half way down the lane(sad i no) or it looks like im shooting the 4 pin if it stays on the lane.

With me I think the problem is that I've practiced making the ten pin a lot more than I've practiced the 7. I also think that some of us have a bit more focus when faced with a tough shot and don't focus as well on the so-called easy spares.

Looks good, make sure you give them a while to dry, have the holes pointed down (but not resting on them) so they can drain.

let us know how they do on the lanes ( i predict a lot more hook)

I probably shouldn't have, but all I did was dry them well with a dry towel, and put them in my bag.

take a peek at them, when i last had water in the wholes i dried them good and went to bed, when i woke up there was a little puddle....

You have a really good point there. Its not often that i leave the 7 so it makes it harder to pick up whereas i leave the 10 alot more ofter. If i ever leave any pin standing its usually the to pin (if i get a 9)

Well I'm a believer in the soak your ball method! I was getting a good 3-4 more boards of movement tonight after having washed my ball a few days ago. Very pleased with the results

I used them the next day. They reacted 100 percent better. Like that other guy said, somewhere around 3-4 boards difference. I also put rubber stoppers in the holes before soaking, got them at Ace hardware.
