Just How to take SOME OF THE SNAP out of The Byte

[Amyers]

Yep,,, I knew what you meant! LOL

It happens to the best of us

[RobLV1]

The OOB finish on the Byte is 1500 polished. Try toning it down a little bit by hitting the surface lightly with a new 4000 abralon, or a used 3000 abralon by hand using a circular motion until the surface has dulled just slightly. This is going to make it read the oil a little bit more, and cut down on the over-reaction when it hits friction.

You beat me to it Rob. Aslo keep in mind Michael that many centers use less oil in the summer so the ball will hook more. For example in my summer league with my Fusion I start the day 7 and 5 left of where i finish game 3 in the fall in the same center

thanks for the information, I AM GOING TO HAVE TO TONE IT DOWN, IF I want to play the outside! BUT,,, but I might just leave it be, and keep throwing it on the inside. In warm up tonight standing far left, and shooting arrow 3 and 400, it made a BEAUTIFUL move into the pocket!!! FRICKEN BEAUTIFUL,,, I thought is was going to work when we started but for some reason I was erratic with THAT SHOT!

Pulled out the Deadly Aim,,,, went back to outside shooting 233, with a open in the tenth,,, easy one!!!!!!! then a 258, with all strikes but two

It was the right ball for tonight!

I should know this, but why do they do that?

Knowing your line is half the battle!

#1. To save money

#2. If you ask them it's because not as many people bowling so not as much is used (b.s.)

The main reason is do to the change in the weather and the effect it has on the oil and it's viscosity.

And when the viscosity of the conditioner is changed, the ball reaction will also be different as a result.

When it's colder the oil doesn't spread out has fast as it does in the summer.

A lot of house's change the pattern lengths trying to compensate for it.
