Completely burnt by mid second game. Moving left is the easy answer, but not when 9/10 bowlers on the set are chasing the same line (5-person team,mens league)
Last Season, I started the night with teh Motive Cruel Intent, and finished most with the Hammer Arson Hybrid or Hammer Nail SMoke and Fire.
This year, I'm starting with the Nail, and by end of second game, I'm throwing the Natural. I even tried a heavy polish with a slip agent on the Nail, but that doesn't last long at all. Got me further into 3rd game, but still had to finish with the Natural.
I've been throwing my old original Storm Natural with surface at 1000grit for the last few weeks and doing better with it than at the OOB 2000 grit. It makes an earlier move and hits harder (more drive, less slide) but it's still a struggle to make a 200+ game with it. I'm doing better with that than most guys throwing higher revs gutter to gutter. Consistency is key. I'ts forcing me to improve my accuracy which isn't a bad thing. No ball is going to give me back that room for error when the oil is gone, I know that.
But I'd like to have a ball with a different motion if one particular ball isn't working for me on a given night.
The Motive Ascent line is what I was looking at also, but was looking at the pearl.
Thanks.
