    i am just trying to figure this out before i buy any more bowling balls + my misfist should fit into a nice light oil ball then after that i want my balls drilled different so so going long doesn't work i can switch coast to coast or what not, not sure if this is a good idea sometimes a ball doesn't work and people switch i see it in my league all the time and the guy on my explained it as sometimes a ball just doesn't feel right the night if that makes sense so i was just wondering

    What he said is true. All my stuff has the same span and pitches yet some nights a ball just won't feel right in my hand. It has nothing to do with reaction, just feel. Reaction wise, some nights a different layout helps when my usual line isn't working. Maybe I should say starting line because I'm all over the place most nights.
    Messing around with different layouts is how I found what I like best which was different than what the pro shop thought I should use. Doing this also helped me understand what I should have expected from the other drillings too.

    go to the bowling shop, (before you order one from Bowlingball.com), and hold several of them in your hand! Close your eyes, and Hum,,,,, hummmmmmmmmmmm! Do this for about 60 seconds! If the ball is right for you,,,,,, it will let you know! Foot-NOTE!! ( if it does not respond, tryhumming at a higher pitch for an additional 30 seconds! You will know grasshopper! Let us know when it happens..... hummmmmmmm1

    So the wand chooses the wizard.... er I mean the ball chooses bowler. Does this mean that the Iceman is destined to be chosen by a Nightmare whose core is made with a feather from the same Phoenix that donated the feather for The Dude's Nightmare?
