I'm at a loss, and kind of embarrassed to ask. but what are ways to lower ones revrate? And is this one way of combating drier conditions? I bowl second shift at this new place which is really dry at the heads, mids, and hooking backends. (I don't have 350 plus rpm's, in fact I don't know what I have)

I find success playing inside/deep, but my mistakes are much worse. I'd like to avoid rubbing against the ball return and prefer to keep the ball in front of me longer. I just don't really know how to keep straight on conditions like this. It's extreme. (many bowlers in the league before us use high end strong equipment, some even sand their balls down! I've seen a sanded nano and the owner still complained that it's dry??!! lol)

My low tilt and average axis rotation isn't ideal for drier surfaces. I've tried breaking my wrist, but my wrist doesn't always stay in that position. Or, I end up throwing end over end. I've tried lofting before, but how far really do one needs to loft?

I really do need to practice during the early morning hours each Sunday when lanes are dry at this time at this 24 hrs bowling center. But, I need some advice on how to bowl on drier conditions. What should I work on?

Finally, do I possibly need a different set for second shift because of the extreme I see compared to the first shift? I'll try anything...

What house are you at?

Is anybody successfully playing further right?

There's a bowler who plays straight no matter what conditions he bowls on. He's a 230 plus average bowler who can do things with the ball, revs, speed, etc... but I noticed big games in the first like 300 and 280's but his scores drop by the third. He starts out further right then find him playing "up 10" by the third game.

Those outside 10 have very high tilt or low rev rate with speed. But not seeing the success they had at the other house. Low scores across the board for everyone. One guy told me he only had 2 200 games. Another guy mentioned he shot his first 600 of the season lol. I saw a lot of 560's to low 600's. No more 650 to 720 lol.

We also don't have a set of lanes we bowl on every week. We can be on lane 1 to 10 one week or 19 thru 28 the next. Lower end seems to be drier but over all its dry and/or spotty mids.

I really don't mind how hard it is right now, but the look on others with many heads down, the league might vote to return to the old house next season. Maybe they prefer higher averages over bad service? who knows.... only time will tell.

Have you tried using your XXXL? If  country club is that dry the XXXL should work very well there. No don't  know anyone who could bowl on Tuesday nights.

Good answer.  People don't been to appreciate making use of the inside hold area inside.  Surfaces are getting old , and the balls blow the oil up quickly.  You have to get much deeper, much sooner on today's house shots.  Also it helps to work on ball speed.  Too many league bowlers are rev dominant

Which misses hurt the most? Left or right? If you miss right, does it hit flat and lose energy or jackknife thru the face?

I think you are,on to something.  Surfaces are getting old along with what the balls do to the pattern.  Awfully easy to get caught behind the transition.

Changing your pitches and making adjustments to your release would cut down on your rev rate, but there must be other ways of attacking the lanes.
What balls/layouts are you using?  Have you tried adding polish to your equipment and/or using something with a lower diff or longer pin-pap layout?
