I went to the bowling alley last night and the lanes were absolutely fried. They oiled before league the night before and I got on the lanes around 5:00 the next day. I had a normal practice but I wanted to see what this ball did on the lanes

Nope you should see my Tuesday night shot by mid 1st game. I am throwing my weakest ball the same line. The lanes get fried out so quickly I have to play it. So it was good practice and I wanted to see what I do when I do play it. I was bored last night and I wanted to play with Movie Maker.

Trust me last year that was my travel league shot about 10 weeks. I was yelled at this past Tuesday because me and my teammate was standing on the other person's lane. They said that was not legal. I said I could stand against their ball return if I wanted. Plus I was giving two lane courtsey. They put out a short shot and very light oil. My girlfried who cannot hook the ball to save her soul hooks the ball too much. Cannot wait to get out of there.

Two weeks ago I shot the first 6 standing on the other lane and in front of the ball return. We were in front of the counter and the GM was there. I looked at him and said "really I have to play this shot?" I shot a 259.

Sometimes I think a lot of the KC area houses forget what oil is. Either that or the oil machines don't lay oil out on the left half  

I'm a lefty and I can loft the gutter with a tornado without much problem at college lanes.  I had to do that during the corporate challenge this year and I bowled in the first squad on the fresh condition.  Granted I didn't move that far right because I didn't feel like starting on the other lane, but I did go as far as starting in front of the return.

True.  I occasionally make my way there on Sunday mornings but it isn't hasn't been too common these days.  It is a nice change of pace from the THS.

Is there any need to try crank it when fried lanes, why not just roll the ball with some extra speed since it will still hit hard. The balls core is made to do the work, not as the 80s plastic balls where there were no coverstock. Mark Roth knows how to crank anythink, I bet he can throw a table tennis ball and strike. :-D

Nice lofting.

No pun intended.

When you're that deep and lofting like that, make sure you keep your elbow and arm close to your body when your swing is on it's way down or you will miss right, I do it all the time when I'm that deep lol.

I was having fun and since the lanes were real fried, I just wanted to screw around.I had to play that shot more than once though.

Pate yeah I actually have been working on that even on my regular shot. I went out tonight and practiced and threw fairly well. I through a couple of shots in front of the ball return and kept the elbow in.

I might post some of the vids with the Attitude playing a normal line
