12 Oct 19 : 34 | Re: Carrydown doesn't exist? I don't buy it... Posted by Brian Longo: Carrydown is more prominent with less porous surfaces, such as polished equipment and plastic balls, but even the "sponges" can push oil into the backends if the volume is sufficient. As Lefty noted as well, sometimes burnout can give you the false perception of carrydown... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts 24 hours ago |
12 Oct 18 : 52 | Re: Why won't my ball hook?!? Posted by MrVrooman: Thanks for the tips. I will try to get video and post here later in the week. I'll let you know. One thing that I did notice, was when I didn't try as hard to hook it, it did hook more! I'm on synthetic lanes, so not sure if that makes a difference. I haven't put any...

11 Oct 12 : 52 | Re: Fall/Winter Leagues 2008 Posted by Dennis Michael: we bowler the first place team tonight. We were 1 point behind them in the standings. The fellow who was complaining about me getting the handicap on top of the lanes fixing the oil patterns started his griping before we started. I am sitting with a 170 and get 27...

11 Oct 07 : 25 | Re: Fall/Winter Leagues 2008 Posted by pbateson: 126-188-199 = 513 Today, I bowled in heavy oil. My strike ball convented to power lift from oval. It little hook on heavy oil. 1st game was lame because I missed couple spares, 7 opens, and 2 splits. I got few strikes. It was low game for me eh. 2nd games, I bowled a lot of...

11 Oct 02 : 36 | Re: New Member looking for a little adivce? Posted by Lefty: On normal house shots, there's a line usually between 10 and 5 where you'll go from a lot of oil to very little oil. The key is to play a line that starts out in the oil and then moves outside of that line. If you pull it, it will sit longer and still hit the pocket. If you miss...

23 Sept 10 : 14 | Re: Very heavy league oil in practice Posted by pbateson: I bowled on very heavy league oil in open games, after oil the dry both lanes. I put tape on my thumb at the ball, and threw as chanker. I can't hook the ball at far right side cuz heavy oil doesn't hook at all such as shark or us open. My guess: This was my 1st time to bowl...

09 Oct 16 : 21 | Re: Ultra Zone Vs Original Cell Posted by intheZONE782: I have both at the moment- To be honest, but cell is pretty burned up. I tried my best to take care of it and maintain it, but its a sponge- right now it likely needs a good baking. On the other hand, my Ultra Zone is still in great condition. Although it doesnt flare as... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts |
09 Oct 03 : 34 | Re: Fall/Winter Leagues 2008 Posted by Cryssen: ugh, bad first night of the new format, we talked for an hour and a half about how we were going to run the league before we even started bowling, they changed the shot tonight, felt like the oil went all the way to 50'. 144,113,207 for the first night of mens singles....

07 Oct 23 : 35 | Re: Speed Posted by infernocal: Having a 220+ average and multiple 300 games doesn't really mean you know about technical side of the game or even some of are a great bowler. I know a bowler that averages 230+ on a house shot in two different houses. He is a hard throwing cranker that likes to stay on the... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts |
07 Oct 10 : 23 | Re: Our Lane problems are now known Posted by 180fury: the league that i used to be in was a great league. i think there was one complainer. and i think they quit. could be wrong. but one thing was for sure. if the center didn't oil the lanes before the league, the whole league would be up at the desk haveing a fit. one thing they...

06 Oct 04 : 45 | Re: What'd You bowl today? Posted by CoachJim: [quote]No kidding... I think reading the lanes is the hardest thing for me to be honest. I've been throwing the ball amazing. Mastering lane transitions is all about seeing the transitions before they happen... [/quote] You need to figure out where the oil is in warm ups by... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts |
05 Oct 23 : 04 | Re: Columbia 300's Piranha Ball Posted by Brian Longo: This ball will not produce much for you I'm afraid unless you're a cranker and even then my expectations for it would be low. It's possible that ball is either the "Retro" that came out c. 2003 or is 12-13 years old. Either way that ball is no more than a light oil ball... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts |
05 Oct 00 : 01 | Re: What'd You bowl today? Posted by Satyuros: I had a chance to shoot 800 today. Almost shot a perfect game as well. First game, go 2 in a row, split open, 8 in a row, 9. 263. Next game, front 9, 10 pin, spare, strike. 279. I need a 258 to shoot an 800. I go 197. Lanes started to burn up, and just didn't catch the right... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts |
04 Oct 21 : 34 | Re: Speed Posted by MJA: There is alot of other varibles to consider, but with my revs and ball surface on med/heavy oil I'm on my game when I come in around 15 mph. C.A.T.S. system has it off my hand at 18 1/2 to 19. I dont like to make big adjustments so I play with speed and hand release alot. [This... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts |
04 Oct 06 : 30 | Re: Our Lane problems are now known Posted by Dennis Michael: OK, bowled tonight on the "new and improved shot". There actually was some side boards I could use. Only out to 5, but it was there. As the Mgr said, the middle would not hold a shot, causing cross overs constantly. It is also better now. They did fix the oil...

03 Oct 14 : 27 | Re: Best Lane Masters ball Posted by ijohn83: I want my first Lane Masters bowling ball. I have been working smart/hard in practice with my Black Widow Bite and I think it is time to reward myself. My BWB has about 35 games per week since the first week the BWB came out. I've baked it in my convection oven at home... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts |
02 Oct 10 : 09 | Re: Ouch! What a dumb move. Posted by idratherbebowling: I was bowling tonite and took a cigarette break. The thing i didn't remember to do before i started my next game was to put my bowling shoes back on. When I stepped down to slide, the only thing that went forward was my body. Total spill. I have oil all over my... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts |

01 Oct 01 : 12 | Re: Good bowling ball for me? Posted by TheDemolitionMan: [quote=cgeorg]Right. Another note, using a strong ball on dry lanes will make the ball hook less than it would with more oil. The expert whose ball died after 9 games may have run into that. [/quote] That's very interesting cgeorg. I didn't know that could happen.... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts |
29 Sept 09 : 37 | Re: UC Davis tryouts Posted by Rickywin: I didn't want two huge posts, so I decided to create two :). So today's tryouts were better in certain areas, but also highlighted what I needed to practice on. I just wanted to note what I need to work on and what I learned. I started with short oil this time, hoping long... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts |
28 Sept 21 : 08 | Re: Good bowling ball for me? Posted by howiegroove: I personally think the Ebonite NVD might be too much ball for you. I have one and I rarely break it out. I definitely bring it out only on extremely heavy oil shots and sport shots. Depending on your budget, you might want to look at a Track Kinetic Pearl or Uprising. ...

26 Sept 20 : 34 | Re: Fall/Winter Leagues 2008 Posted by untutored: 180-228-266 674 The oil was back, and my mechanics were gone at the start; the first few frames, it felt like I hadn't bowled in weeks. I finally got somewhat consistent by putting all my attention on the release and letting everything else drop, but it was too late to... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts |
25 Sept 02 : 57 | Re: Sanding with a super fine grit. Posted by Lefty: When the ball comes off your hand, it has a certain amount of energy. That energy gets used up by friction between the lane and the ball. Smoother surfaces will use up less energy in the oil and therefore have more energy on the back end. That's why they react harder. The thing... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts |
22 Sept 15 : 32 | Re: Fall/Winter Leagues 2008 Posted by General Pounder: Dennis: When I was bowling in college, the manager would actually oil his lane a little longer than all of the rest of the lanes. Since it was an old wood house (on campus), you could see the oil line really well. You could see that his lanes were ALWAYS oiled 5... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts |
19 Sept 18 : 53 | Re: Fall/Winter Leagues 2008 Posted by Show300: Thanks Brandon, I should be on the board more regularly again. At any rate, I had a great practice last night in my Sunday house on the inside line I am trying to play for Sunday night. They laid the oil just like in league and it worked fairly well...I average a 206 for... Source : BowlingCommunity.com Recent Posts |
17 Sept 03 : 53 | Re: An update Posted by jsigone: I'd fix them, you don't really gain much by selling them if you don't have new stuff coming in to replace it. The cell is a strong ball, so save it for the oil. The widow you can play around with the surface to get it right for your style. I'm sure you have at least 175...
