Arsenal Assistance Please
« on: May 29, 2016, 10:06:18 AM »
Thanks all in advance!! Quick info before the question, ~16mph, guessing ~300 revs, style that prefers to play between boards 8-22.

Now to my Arsenal predicament. During fall I did great our team won the league but it was on a lighter side of medium shot with older wood lanes. Now here comes the summer league and first time since new lanes 😁. They run on the heavier side of medium and are new synthetic lanes and this center is my problem.

Current Arsenal:
-RG Haywire (currently 3000 grit but haven't figured this ball out yet. Drilled strong with pin slightly above and to the right of ring finger)

-Lane#1 Hybrid Dirty Bomb (Leverage drilled pin to the right of ring)

-Storm Hy-Road Pearl (Love it, killer on the wood lane house but glides too long and over/under at slicker house)

-Lane#1 Dirty Bomb (Pin Down just under ring finger).

Most glaring issue I have is I can't get the Hy-Road Pearl to work at the synthetic center and the Haywire might be getting sold, I just can't seem to get it to roll right for me. The HDB needs the span adjusted so it might be the ticket but wanted suggestions on bridging that medium heavy oil gap at the synthetic center. Never tried an Asymmetric either but would be open to suggestion.

Thanks!!

Where do you start on the lane, before you start moving towards the foul line?
In the middle with your left foot, or right foot on the middle? Or far to the left? Or parallel with the 8-22 board?

I stand with my left foot around the middle of the lane, and then throw pretty straight to the 5-10 boards.

I'm guessing you stand somewhere on the left for the middle part of the lane because of the rev rate. But your speed is higher than mine. So you're probably not a lot to the left of the middle.

So you throw it pretty straight then.
Just do the Star Search thing on their site http://www.rotogrip.com/star-search/?step=1&level=2
I'd go with more hook for myself probably, but that's because my rev rate and everything else that makes a ball hook more is bad :P
But you probably hook your balls good, so same hook is probably good.

But you should wait with deciding until after the expo next month. There will be many new balls out after that.
