    Your not the only one that suffers from that. I guess due to axis tilt or whatever I can't play outside of ten unless it's a sports pattern or something and even when I do I'm very uncomfortable as I don't get to play there often. But from 10-17 I'm great and in most mixed leagues I'm the deepest guy so I don't have to worry about anybody burning a line inside of me but when I'm bowling on travel league or the higher level men's leagues that happens sometimes and when I need to make that jump from playing 15 to playing 20 things go bad quick

    Take a ball with a decently strong core, drill to read early with a strong pin to PAP distance then adjust the cover to a higher grit plus maybe polish. The layout will smooth out the midlane read, cover help to clear the heads and retain back end where the strong core can take over to carry corner pins.

    I'm going to try this out with my IQ nano, I'll play around with the surface and see if I can get some good read with it. For now, I've mainly been using my HyRoad in game 3 but I have to bring up the speed to a level where I'm not super comfortable.
