Please watch in HD.

I uploaded a video from my practice session on Sunday. I'm bowling on the pattern that we started on Monday for the last third of our league. The rumor was it was a medium difficulty pattern with a higher volume of oil so I took a variety of balls to practice.

My initial opinion is that it's a fair pattern, tons of conditioner inside with friction around 5-6. The track area has been taken out of play. I found a comfortable areas outside and inside.

Order of appearance
0:00 Sure Strike @2000 micropad
0:49 Solid LevRG @ 2000 **Mislabeled as Response**
1:15 LevRG Response @ 1000
1:45 Black Diamond @ 2000
2:10 Mania @ 1000

nice video. I like how you left a caption for what ball, layout, and surface was used.

is it just me or does the black diamond seem like it skids on oil (dont own one). kind of weird if thats the case as didnt the BPR fill that spot?

looked like the mo-rich covers were strong enough to give you enough grab in what appears to be a decent amount of oil.

Thanks

I've noticed the reaction of the Black Diamond changes drastically with different surface preps. Based on this video, I think the ball needed a little more surface for the part of the lane I was playing. The strong cover plus the high diff, high rg core create a unique roll.

The Response and Mania handle oil very well. Both hook a lot but are easy to control.

The new Morich covers are VERY strong (Frenzy, Craze, Mania), Brunswick covers but they're not being used, to my knowledge, on any Brunswick balls yet.

Is that first ball the Sure Strike or Solid Strike?  The title says Sure Strike and the graphic on video says Solid Strike.
