If I polish my Mastermind it doesn't take 3 or 4 frames to figure it's to long more like 1 to 2 balls at most. If it is odds are good I'm throwing it in the wrong spot on a THS pattern and that's why you carry multiple balls.
I've been back bowling for a little over 2 years and my areas is from 5-17 although it's rare I'm outside 10. I think more important is how much can you vary your breakpoint I can change from 5-14. It doesn't really matter where it starts its where it ends up.
If your at the end of your progression during league somethings wrong. Your playing the lanes in the wrong spot with a four ball Arsenal.
