Thread: Adjusting to my new house

  1. #1

    Default Adjusting to my new house

    Hi all,
    Newbie here. I just switched to a house that is using a 41' oil pattern and my scores went right down the toilet. I typically carry about a 208 - 215 average but this house is getting to me. My ball is hooking so hard when it gets past the pattern that I cannot get it under control. My main ball is a Storm Fired Up and it usually has a pretty good, gradual hook. Now, it is snapping once it hits the backend. Would adding a counter weight hole help slow the snap? Or would polishing the ball be the way to go? Any other tips?
    I am a high-speed, high-rev bowler and have had very little success with changing that approach...
    Thanks!

    I just wanted to say hello and Welcome to the site. I might think that a different line or step pattern might help. Do you have a video of your bowling by any chance?

    Sounds great. That way some of the seasoned pros can look at what they think is going on with your bowling game.

    personally i feel that a good polish should tone the ball down on what seems like a shorter pattern let me know if you have any more questions

    I would agree also to this, but would get a few practice games under your belt with this pattern to find your line or approach.
    All pins are POSSESSED, I'm just happy to be able to exorcise the poor dears and put them out of their misery.

    I'm curious to know what line you are throwing. The answer might be as simple as moving deeper.

    I get a sudden taste for spiced pork shoulder and ham in a can, while Vikings sing in the background.
