I've actually been doing that a bit more simply because:
1) I've retired the Asylum; bringing me to a 4-ball arsenal (not counting spare ball).
2) Now that my speed is in the 15.3-15.9 range...versus my old 16.9-17.9 range...the Lethal Revolver is not as much of an option on a THS.
So, I usually start out with the Dark Encounter...but other than a slightly weaker company (compared to Brunswick balls) and a bit of polish I regularly apply to the D.E.....it's not usually something I can stick with for too long.
So, I've been using the Loaded Revolver as long as I possibly can...as long as I can carry corner-pins on good pocket shots...then I switch to the Melee Jab and hope that I'm inside the oil enough to keep it from over-reacting downlane.
So...I've been doing a LOT more of just small, little lateral moves...probably so small that the move is really only "in my head"....I mean honestly...if you move your feet and target 1:1...and can only hit a 3-board area consistently...and tend to drift 2-3 boards...theres "margin of error" to consider.
So, yes, by virtue of a smaller arsenal, slower speed, and better release...I'm not switching balls as much as I was before....and you're right...it's been helpful to just focus on making the shots...make some slight adjustments here and there.
My "next step" is to do a better job of seeing how the ball is reacting with the lanes and how it exits the pindeck. I still don't have a good grasp of those things and I tend to put SO much focus in my approach, release, balance, and accuracy...that I 'forget' to watch the ball and watch it move through the pins. And there's SOOOO much information...important information to be gathered from those two things...so I need do more and get better at that.
