A nights lane play

[RobLV1]

The thing I was looking at was how the scores and the lines compared and went as the lane broke down.
These are I believe pretty typical lane play for a lot of the league.

Of the 4 bowlers that had at least 1 200+ game
The Lefty (210 ave) went 184-279-234

The light green line (193 ave) went 144-221-171

The dark blue line (178 ave) went 248-160-164

And I (now my ave has dropped 10 pins in the last several weeks, it seems really dry for me.) went 176-221-179.

I think that the significant factor here is that while the righties all played different lines at the arrows, you all threw to the same area down the lane. I think that as the league wore on, the end of the pattern got totally fried, taking your ability to carry the corners with it. Try moving inside the far tracer for the last half of the league and see if you can find some fresh oil at the end of the pattern.

Do you believe some of these lines will be more successful than others in the long term

No, those are just the lines everyone was using.

I was looking more at how they related to my line and how the lanes were breaking down (Why I felt it was much dryer than it was earlier in the season.) and what I was seeing my ball do.

In regards to the pattern, from 10to10 I believe it's about the same as it was earlier in the season. The thing that changed about the time my ave started dropping was the oil from 10 out.

Earlier in the season there was more oil from 10 to around 7/6 which gave me a little more distance down the lane before my ball started hooking, but then they reduced it (or the machine needs maintenance.).

Now with that reduced oil and seeing how the lines of majority are playing that area 10 to 7, that means it's drying out that area even faster than it was. That's why my ball is taking off too early, so I have to stay in the oil more and try to play a tighter line.

Now I have moved in some (my green line) and am trying to target the break point more So I can stay out of where everyone is breaking down the line so fast. which is helping get ball down the lane better, if I had more speed and some revs I'd do a lot better.

That basically is where the guys rolling the high numbers are playing, the shot is walled up great for them.

Okay I agree with that, I was thinking that was about what was happening. That area was getting tore up down at the end of the pattern and corners were a problem not just for me either.

When I got the ball inside around 10 to 12 say down by the tracer, I was striking more.

Now here are my games to go with that chart:

The first game was using the Bad A$$.
The 2nd & 3rd games I was using the DV8 Dude and was trying to keep it more inside.
