Move to the center, throw the ball over the second arrow, and let it come back in. If you miss left, move left; if you miss right, move right; and keep the SAME target. I am a lefty, when throwing second dot second arrow causes too much hook, I move to the center dot, throw over the second arrow, and let the ball come back mid lane (not using my BWS, but it may work with your BWS depending on how you throw).

MOVE RIGHT, feet and mark move deeper inside on the oil and swing the ball out to the dry, find that oil line and you'll be set, our shot doesnt change that much so once you find it there isnt much moving.

stretch,
ONE OF THE problems IN bowling is that different surfaces lead to different ball reactions. You might think that bowling is as simple as a lane, a ball, and an approach, right? Not really--at least not nowadays. Lane conditioner can even out some of the bad characteristics, but not all of it.

GUARDIAN AND OTHER OVERLAYS

Overlays represent technology that is a less expensive alternative to a full synthetic installation. More often, overlays are used by centers that did not maintain lanes properly in the past. The center is essentially overlaying a bad surface. Not many people like how overlaid lanes play. The key to playing an overlay is in energy storage: Find balls, rotations, speeds, and lofts that get your ball through the first 15 feet cleanly, and your ball will have enough energy to strike. Guardian is my worst surface to play on. Strength is important for success on an overlay.

Tips on ow to play the different lane surfaces. Adjust according to your style.

On WOOD lanes, look out for higher/lower/more worn wood boards and make a mental note on the grain of the boards. Speed, loft, type of equipment, and ball surface will depend on the age and condition of the lane.

For SYNTHETICS, consider playing an outside line . Lane play depends on the oil pattern the center uses. You can use equipment with surfaces that are either polished or dull. You can attack synthetics effectively with most types of speeds and ball rolls.

Sometimes you'll see a "wear line" based on the lane lighting/shine. Get down to knee height at the ball return to see if you can identify the well-played area, and try to get just left of it.

For GUARDIAN,/ OVERLAYS roll with loft, at higher speeds, with more polished and/or higher-RG equipment. Make smooth contact with the lane, applying less lift with your fingers, and decrease your revs.

Remember, most times it is the oil pattern, not the surface, that determines your ball reaction. Lane-surface information is supplemental to your standard adjustments based primarily on oil patterns.

thanx for all the info moving more center seems to help.
