Consistancy Tips?

I realize that by saying this, I'm potentially opening up a can of worms, but the fact of the matter is that on a house shot, as the oil changes, the move is NEVER to the right for a right handed bowler. Common sense says that on a condition that starts out with plenty of friction on the outside, where modern bowling balls are absorbing oil each time they go down the lane, that the only way to retain the power in the ball is to move left to find more oil. Please don't tell me that you have to move right because of carrydown. I really don't want to go down that road again.

i have seen, all too often, people move right on a house shot, however it is do to the lack strength in their wrist. they are basically just getting tired, this causes their revs to take a decrease and therefore a move right was the best option. if you do not have that problem then the only logical move to make as your games wrap up is left

Rob - I promise, I wasn't trying to open a can of worms! Please keep the worms in their safe and upright position! I was only saying that I tried moving right because I wasn't able to get my ball to move right enough. However, I realized quickly that that wasn't the solution either, so in this case, I definitely agree with you.

Michael - Take the road less traveled, more oil there!

Shane - I don't think it's a wrist problem, as there is definitely no noticeable loss in my revs. I think it might be a body positioning/timing problem.

When I throw this weekend, I will give it more than 2-3 frames before I change my starting position again. I will also try to get a friend to record me throwing a couple balls in each game, so I can see what the difference is in my approach/shot.
