Heavy oil bowling

Thanks Bob!

I try to put what I learned to good use and try to help others along the way.

Also people should remember, on patterns like shark, you want to keep your break point (the point on the lane where the bowling ball transitions from skid to hook phase and then eventually hook to roll) closer to the pocket. Keep in mind the rule of 31. Take the length of oil, e.g. 43 feet and subtract 31 to get the board where your break point should be. On longer patterns like Shark you want the break point to be around the 12 board, 43 - 31. On patterns like Cheetah you want it to be around 4 or 5, 35 - 31 and 36 - 31.

A few days ago I played on an oil pattern I had to hit the 4th or 5th board for the break point. I didn't have the balls to try it continuously, or maybe it's confidence.

Bowling boots ? And all these years I've been wearing stupid bowling shoes so I could slide ! Maybe that's my problem. Do you get those at a Camping World Pro Shop ? LOL !

Little old man speed, Bob, is what I see around here, 8-9 mph. There is a guy on the Monday mens' league that I swear his speed is measured with an hourglass. There are about 6-8 retired gentleman in that league that never get above 10 mph. At this time I couldn't roll it that slow if my life depended on it.

What if you threw it as a one step or no step drill?

12 mph on a no step

Stop muscling the ball

12 mph on a no step

I guess that third of a foot height advantage you have on me translates to 3mph.
