    This sounds good to me. Now to figure out which ball. Too many choices nowadays. Ha.

    See if I am using something other than a spare ball for the 10 I am not using speed, I’m using the lack of oil on the end boards. Flatten it and throw it nice and slow as if you’re going gutter about 5 feet before the pin. As long as you don’t over power it the ball will catch the lane and ride down. It’s actually a detriment to get into this habit once you start throwing on sport shorts though.

    Yeah can kill you there and even on some different house shots is you bowl different places. Best thing to do is get a spare ball but time and money kills most ills lol

    Well urethane is out. Threw one the other night and even moving all the way to the left it still went Brooklyn. Guessing my ball speed is just too slow for that.

    Wood lanes or synthetic? I find that urethane grabs more on wood. Also, not every urethane is the same. I have a 900 Global Boo Yah and it will take off on me if I throw too slowly, but my Motiv Tank won't.

    Last time I bowled on wood lanes I ended up using a T-Zone.
