Each ball should take a slightly different path to the pocket some nights playing straighter (i.e. your ball #1) maybe the more effective path other nights playing a more curved shot may work better (i.e. your #3) weather this is do to the bowler, the lanes, differences in oil is opinion but anyone on here that bowls regularly will tell you that's a fact. No I can't predict before I throw which one it will be but I can tell after throwing a shot or 2 75% of the time or so. Sometimes I'm still wrong. The thing is IMO your really wrong here. Practice isn't for figuring out where the pocket is. It's for figuring out which ball gets their best.
And anyone starting with a Scandal Pearl is wrong? Lol your balls are designed to do different things I'll give you that but they aren't designed to be one off creatures. You might actually have more point if you were bowling on Sports pattern conditions but on a THS the dry is there from ball 1 you don't have to make that dry spot for the ball to bounce off of. I never See Track balls so maybe it is the weakest creature on the planet and isn't a good choice to start off with but I seen plenty of scandal pearls out there it's a popular ball in game 1. Also moving right after the series start as an adjustment is often a mistake. Starting with a weaker ball and moving right is not.
I was using your # as a reference not really as a ranking. I'm not super concerned with any of them. Warm up is for two reasons to get the muscles used to moving and determine which ball path should be the most complementary. For league night it's not really about finding the pocket we know close to where it's at from the week before but figuring out what's the best way to get there.
