CBS Sports TV Channel
« on: May 26, 2015, 11:19:19 PM »
I watched the Oklahoma bowling finals on CBS Sports TV Network tonight. Guppy Troup had a son named Kyle in the finals. I didn't know he had a Son bowling in the pros. Did anyone else see these matches tonight?

After the xtra frame trophy presentation I walked down the side of the  lanes and there was visible blue streaks down lane

Nope, carry down doesn't exist, Joe Slowinski says so. (sarcasm)

I'm just curious, watching the DVR of the tour and I saw Kyle spray his hand before a shot. What was he spraying on his hand and isn't that illegal since its adding a substance to the ball surface somewhat?

Hand sanitizer, and he ALWAYS wipes his hand on his pants, its part of his pre-shot routine.

There was one time about 5-6 years ago where I was bowling, took a bite to eat, and then used hand sanitizer.  As a two hander I will say this.  The sanitizer made the coverstock on the ball extremely tacky.  It almost felt like my hand was glued to the ball.  I havent done it since.  But I have pretty small hands and trying to use plastic and urethane two handed; the surfaces of those balls are pretty slick and have a difficult time holding on to them.  It has made me wonder about carrying some sanitizer with me and trying to use a urethane ball to see if it would improve the gripping ability.

A lot of guys use urethane, plastic, and even old rubber balls on the short patterns in my sport league.  It really makes the transitions nasty unless everyone is playing them the same, which never happens anymore.  You could really see Gomez painting himself in a corner with his urethane.  Move right, move right again to get some carry, and finally a small miss left is through the beak.  I think both Kent and Gomez had Rides in their bag.  I would have liked to see that ball on the Wolf.  My experience with the Ride is that it is almost as straight as urethane and doesn't jump off the end of the oil like most pearl resin balls.

My only problem when using old school urethane (i.e., my Fab Blue Hammer, Fab Burgundy Hammer, Columbia Black U-dot, or dare I even say my Columbia Gold Dot) on a sport compliant/flat pattern is that it doesn't carry as well as reactive resin. It has to be flush or I'm leaving 10-pins; or even worse, an 8-10. (Essentially for me, it's been my bowling experience that translates into scores in the 170s to 180s.)

You have to know how to use the old stuff or carry is a huge issue.  Basically urethane or plastic is only useful if it allows you to go very direct.  If you have to go away from the pocket it is not useful.  That is why it often works better for us low rev guys than for the guys with more hand and side roll.  When you can square up carry is surprising.  I find it more useful on house shots than on tournament patterns, unless I can get outside of 6 or 7 board with it.
