    I don't know this for sure but I know I can hook plastic on short oil and dry conditions give me one with a full core bet I can shoot just about as high with it as I can my regular ball. I've thrown 220 and 230 just messing around when it was too dry to throw my other stuff. As long as it's dry enough to get it to roll I can bowl with it.

    A lot just depends on your speed too! I have seen some seniors with somewhat below average speed, hook plastic on fresh THS patterns at several different lanes. Speed and Revs.... dosent' take much I know a particular lady that throws up 5 board, (standing far right/Right handed), to pick up the 7 pin, and never,,, NEVER misses with her plastic ball!

    When it comes right down to it, All BALLS, react differently due to the bowler! ONE MAN's bowling ball is his pride and JOY, another man throws the same ball and it sucks, as in don't work for him! YOU CAN hook plastic even on fresh THS, ICEGOD has seen many times with the seniors he knows that do throw plastic!

    As you reduce your speed to gain hook, you lose hitting power, so your carry % goes down.

    CARRY,,, I watch the demo videos that Bowlingball com shows on this site, and I notice that when that Curly guy throws his low speed ball delivery, the PINS STAY LOW and carry!

    I have see some pretty good 220 bowlers around here that have high speed, and revs that that when some of them start having problems it that the pins are flying high off the deck, and not staying LOW where they can do more damage, in other words poor carry.

    I would think that speed can be detrimental to good carry in many cases, where as when watching Curly throw his balls he actually keeps the
    pins close to the deck as they bounce off one another!

    maybe there actually is a PERFECT SPEED for good carry, along with all the other things needed!

    TAKE A look at any of the bowlingball demo's how LOW THE PINS stay with his speed!

    MWhite you should host a "MWhite is angry at the world and this is HIS rules" invitational open championship on the day, time and location of your choosing. To your rules, specifications and then we can let the best man (or woman or child) be the winner. There would be no more talk of resin, THS, walls of oil, spray painting, stenciling or anything else. And NO I am not bowling with no pants on. Let's keep this to bowling. Let's settle this once and for all.

    I'm very disappointed looks like the wood lanes tournament
    is off with MICHAEL leaving the forum. Looks like I'll just have
    to go ahead and make the trip over there anyway just to get to
    bowl on those wooden lanes in June.

    In other words, Iceman is getting bored and should be back in 11-12 days.

    We've all seen this before…

    And ets just "play pretend" that this is actually a REAL threat…lets just entertain the idea for a moment…"why"? Did he say a bad word and get an infraction he felt was unwarranted? Is there a new FEE for site usage that I'm unaware of and he's protesting the taxation of the internet like a Boston Tea Party? Did Iceman decide to dedicate himself to joining ISIS (whats hilarious is no this post just got flagged and read by the NSA (now twice because I said NSA))? Did a mean user on here insult his wife or mother? Did someone question his service to the country or the intelligence or virility of his sons? Was he shunned in some old school prophecy way?

    It just amazes me…because I HAVE been nearly kicked off the site…I HAVE gotten infractions for questionable things…I HAVE had more tan one member either PM or text to me or the higher ups that I should be removed from the site…I've been called more things on a monthly basis than Iceman gets called in a YEAR! So what? Am I some heroic Man of Steel where insults bounce off me like bullets off of Wonder Woman's bracelets?



    No. Of matter of fact…Iceman is the one that is supposed to be the "grown up". He's supposed to be the most upstanding citizen of us all!? A man of honor and integrity. The mighty Iceman!! There's no WAY merely having his antics referenced on par with that of "seventh graders" would so much as 'annoy' someone like Iceman!!!

    Ice…you proved your point….time to stop of your press secretary Bill release fake Iceman Media releases about closing the event that you once claimed, "was going to happen no matter what, 100% as God is my witness…it is DEFINITELY ON!"

    Time to rise again Ice…like a Phoenix!!

    Aslan I certainly hope so I was so looking forward to going over
    there and getting to beat some of those good ol' farm boys that
    MICHAEL talks about and beating MICHAEL or get beat by him or
    them.

    I really wish that you, Mike White, and Rob could make the trip as
    I really would like to meet all of you in person and I do believe we
    would all have a blast bowling together.

    I have to agree it's time to come back iceman. What was said wasn't the most insulting thing ever said on here not even by a long shot.
