    I've often wondered, why people that throw down and in look to buy high performance balls. I get the machismo aspect, but it would seem to be the wrong tool for the job. Am I missing something?

    No, you probably have it right. He is set in his ways and won't move to the left and throw further in. Some people just won't listen. Another team mate just got a Storm Marvel S and he was a down and in player as well with his prior equipment. He is now starting to see the benefit of staying in more oil longer down the lane. He still gets it out to 10 every once in awhile, but he is starting to transition.

    Sometimes the only shot available is more down and in. And what would be the reason not to throw a performance ball (ie-I throw my RotoGrip Defiant Soul) if that's where the shot is on that particular day. I don't get why you think you wouldn't want a performance ball for that shot? I don't always play down and in, but if that's where I get to the pocket and carry, then that's where I want to play...that day/that game/that frame - not saying you might have to move off that line at some point.

    That just might be the way, with your ball speed, and rev's, delivery! But one thing I have noticed in my 3 years of bowling.
    Everyone is UNIQUE,,, and what one person needs to play a certain shot, for someone else it might be Too much, or not enough!
    Nothing wrong Classygranny, just like that GREAT WEATHER YOU HAVE DOWN there in waterless AZ!! (

    Like Michael says it's all about the bowler. There is a guy in my league tonight that throws a nightmare down 10 out to maybe 5. For him it works. If I tried that line with a Nightmare I would either burn out and the ball would hit like a marshmallow or be lucky to hit the 7 pin.


    Now if the house oiled 7-7 instead of 10-10 and/or with a heavier volume that may be the right line for me. again though, all situational.

    I think what was meant is someone that gets a new ball and refuses to adjust to the new ball and instead tries to force it to play the same line as the old ball.
    PAP - 6 1/4 1/8 up
