DV8 Misfit, Out of the Box! (results)

[AC500]

Hit the lanes last night with great enthusiasm and ready to crush it with the new Misfit....unfortunately I left a little disappointed. I started out slow and struggling to find the groove which took the better part of the first 5, finally settled in with a low 131, games 2/3 got a little better with a 156,159 finish. I had a hard time all night looking for the oil to keep the Misfit longer down the lanes but never found it. Talking to a couple of the higher average bowlers (190's and up) I learned that the house isnt to big on oil and the lanes are very dry 99% of the time.
I love the Misfit in my local alley and it rips right threw the pins, but finding the sweet spot on the league lanes is a different story. Need to do a little searching for ideas, I dont want to compromise the Misfit for my local lanes, but my league lanes is where the scores need to be. Maybe polish it up?
I noticed my LPS has a Storm Natural (used) on the shelf for $50drilled, thinking it may be a better ball for dry lanes.

The Natural is a great dry lane piece. For that price it would be worth it. What line are you playing with your misfit? I have low ball speed and high revs so some times I will play way outside laying down at the 10, cross the 6 at the arrows and it will break around the 2. My dad is a little nuts, he will play straight up the 1 board. Occasional cutters don't bother him but I tend to yank left when I try that line.

I stand on the gutter line (inside the 40) and throw across the 20 board to keep it in the oil longer because my slow ball speed & hi revs. Im working on gaining more speed and I think that'll come with the more I bowl. With my Alpha Max I had to really hurl it out to the 10 and hope it stays inside the 1/3 instead of bombing out to the 4/7.
