Dry Lanes: What ball do you use?

[cdolce18]

On a house shot? Um, a pearl....sheesh

Well the other night I was bowling on a broken down stone street pattern in a second shift league. I played inside with my freeze hybrid and could not carry. I shot 177 that game. I pulled out the Karma Urethane and went 224 and 254 for a 652 series. It carried everything. The guy on the other team even asked me if my Karma was illegal lol. I guess it just depends on what type of bower you are.

Good POINT, one man's salvation, is another mans HELL! A lot depends on What TYPE of bowler your ARE.

I think a person has to have a hefty rev rate to use a urethane or plastic…even with the lanes dried up.

My polar ice was drilled for 10 pins for the most part so I can throw it outside no problem on dry lanes.

I voted for plastic I just throw my Brunswick TZone
on super dry lanes.

There is a video on the web somewhere (I haven't been able to find it again) where they show that what most people call dry, actually has a lot of oil.

By comparison, they had the machine just strip the lanes... They ran it twice to be absolutely sure the lane was free of oil.

Then showed the result of a reasonable rev rate bowling throwing his normal ball on his normal line.

The ball was in the left gutter before 30 feet.

I believe it. Balls cut through the oil so much now that if you threw the old oil conditions on a lane, most of us with our modern balls would be in the left gutter.

Not using anything right now but will be using the FREE T-Zone I'm going to get from the current league I'm on. The drilling will cost more than the ball. LOL!

That being said, I've thought about not using it at all. I do will just adjusting my release to stay behind the ball and I have a great spare game. My last outing on a "beer league", one of our guys hit 5 strikes in a row but I beat him with 185 due to a strong spare game. I think I only had one strike that game. I'm thinking, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

More likely the ball will burn up, and roll straight down the lane.

Its not a requirement, but it helps,

This is TRUE, you don't need a lot of revs, if your ball speed is in the lower numbers! I have seen it on fresh THS on my seniors league! You do need a decent release with some Rev's but it doesn't take a "hefty amounts".

Touchy much ICEMAN?
