From this site, it reads well. Says it's for medium to heavy oil conditions.

Bowlingball.com is an excellent site to explore if you're in the market for a new ball - they have a comprehensive range, reviews and video and really competitive pricing.
Good luck with everything and let me know how things go for you.

I would like to find some place to try my Insanity on heavier oil. I'm really surprised how much the ball hooks. To use it I've had to move way right and put it over the third arrow, and you know the psychological block lefties have east of second arrow. It's making me more versatile, anyway, though I can't use it for more than a game or game and a half before either the lane gets too weird for me, or the adjustments I have to make are so far out of my confidence range that I get tentative and start trying to steer the ball, rather than roll it.

Hi Kev.
When you adjust your approach dots, do you adjust your arrow/board? I tried something I was very leery of doing and reaped instant rewards the other night.
I usually stand on middle dot and hit second arrow, but tried 4th dot and and third arrow and voila - 205 - 227 - 134. Was extremely tired and ran out of steam on the last and sprayed it. The 227 was a lovely game tho, closed every frame. Best game I bowled since getting back into bowling 5 months ago.
The mental block will be overcome if it starts working for you, trust me!

At first I tried to keep my target where it was and just move right, but the angle got too severe and I started chucking it into the gutter. So I moved even further right and moved the target right, too. That works ok if I can hit my target, the ball just crushes the pins. To succeed I have to believe in every shot and I'm not at that point in my learning curve yet. "Trust is a must or your game is a bust." When the previous owners ran the house their lane guy would put extra oil outside of 5 downlane because he had something against lefties. I could use that now, I think.

Usually, the oil pattern is longer down the middle, so if you try that you'll foil that tricky lane guy!
