You mean to adjust for the fact that you missed your target to the right, or that you still missed right of the pocket after you moved your feet right?

miss left move left miss right move right basic adj 101

I think he means after he moved his feet right. If the ball is burning up too quickly then you need to move feet and target left, towards the oil line. The more aggressive the ball the more it needs oil to complete the skid phase and hit the hook phase then roll phases on time and with force.

ooo i am sorry misunderstood sorry about that yeah i tryd about 2 different marks 5/7/10/12 ad stood 5 boards left of each mark

[billf]

With a ball like the Taboo I would try 15-12 with a break point around 8-10. If you can get some revs and rotation 25-15 works well usually.

[noeymc]

i will give that a try tomorrow morning

i use a hammer taboo deep purple i am unsure of there oil i dont want to adjust it cuz at the lanes where i do most my bowling my ball works great

With that ball being aggressive as it is, why are you playing that far outside? I would think you'd be somewhere between 2nd and third arrow. What does the ball do when you're inside of the 2nd arrow? Does it hook or straighten out? The other thought is how different the oil pattern is between the two houses you mentioned. It almost sounds like this one is flat oil edge to edge. I'm missing something here, and I'm not sure what's happening with this ball on this oil pattern. That taboo should be going left of the head pin on a normal house shot if you're playing an outside line.

lets just say i i only hit the pocket about6 times 2 of thos times were cuz i messed up and got lucky lol there was no ball reaction

[Tampabaybob]

Ok, but what was the ball reaction? In other words were you shooting 1st arrow, 8 board, 2nd arrow or what? Did the ball seem to slide a long way? Could you see the ball transition from slide to hook and back to a roll, and at what point on the lane did all of that take place ? You see, if a few of us were standing behind you as you were throwing the ball, it would be much easier to analyze what was happening. When it comes down to doing all of this verbally it's a little harder. Actually much harder. We (the boards) want to help, so it's important to give as much specific information as possible. We're here for you and your fellow bowlers and we all want you to succeed. Just give us as many of the specifics as possible.
