Well i went open bowling today. I didnt do so well 6 games 157,171,174,170,143,167. (ave is 193 - 195)
One thing it was in a house i dont bowl in and on syn. type lanes with (it seemed) a lot of oil. (owner swears the lanes are wood but they sound plastic to me)
The first 3 games i noticed i was tracking across my thumb hole (tell tale thump-thump down the lane). All 3 games were with diff balls toxic, TFD, VG. The 4th was with my hex-plosion and no thumb hole role and a lot more movement. track was no less than 1" from thumb same goes for the messenger (green) and rising. The first 3 i got movement but not much.
I removed tape from the holes of the toxic and TFD and i seemed to stop the extremly high track on those 2 not sure if that was the cause or not. I ran out of time to throw the VG a second game.I also lowered my back swing and then got my movement back. Not sure why i started musceling the back swing.
noticed that the TFD wasn't hooking as much as new. It has about 26 games on it. the surface has been knocked down with a green scratch pad (litely).
Think i should give it a bath, and if so will it still be ok to use Friday morning(how long it takes to dry out)?
Confused as to why the difficulty all of a sudden. Dont normally roll the ball like that (by far).
