How do you transition as the night goes on?

[dnhoffman]

Just curious as to how everyone here transitions as the lanes break down.

Do you move left or are do you bowl with crackers who push you right?

Do you ball down as the Lanes dry out or go to something more aggressive and try to open up the lane?

Just trying to start conversation...

I generally move left and ball down... I am speed dominant, so I usually start pretty far right. I usually start with stronger equipment when the patterns are still fresh and ball down and move left as I go along.

In a 3-4 game league match I'll generally just move left and every once in a while change to a light oil ball for the last few frames. In a 8-12 game tournament, I'll try all kinds of adjustments....moving left, less hand, lighter oil ball...whatever is working the best

Thanks for the reply!

move left then end up switching balls by game 2-3

So do you move left and ball down, or move left and try to ball up and play left of the "dead zone" ?

I am having trouble with this myself. My third game always sucks. Never really sure where to stand or what to try. "Normally" I will just move a few boards left, but then I seem to have such a horrible entry angle. Balling down doesnt work, but hopefully when I re-drill it, I can do better.

i watch where my ball hits and make the adjustment needed weather it be moving left right backwards

Google "Bowling Article: The Dead Zone"

There are some great graphics that talk about oil transition and it can cause exactly what you're talking about (and that I"m trying to spur conversation about here) - be interested to hear your thoughts.

I throw it harder before I decide to move.
