Tonight in my PBA Doubles league we bowled on the Cheetah pattern. This is the second year the house has held this league...last year on this pattern I averaged 228 for the two weeks we bowled on it. I've also won on this pattern a few months ago. So I feel confident when we bowl on this pattern.

Usually, I play around 8 at the arrows out to 3-4...up the twig is a no go in our house.

I start out with a clean 196 throwing an Inferno with the pin under my middle finger cg below. It is also at 2000 grit + polish. Good, not great ball reaction so I switch to my red zone with pin above my ring mb in thumb with a flare decreasing hole. Still too much ball.

Game two clean thru the first 6 frames with one strike. finish 142...dismal! Game three 244 throwing a total drilled pin under middle finger cg in palm. Great! Forth game...160 too much ball again!

I did throw a vapor but it gave me more over under than anything in my bag.

Not to go on forever but what is a better choice, the avalanche pearl or a power groove to combat this lane condition. Thinking of drilling either one, pin above middle finger or next to the track. 5.5-6.5' to PAP.

Oh, vitals. Speed 16.5-19+ (on cheetah) 300+rev rate inverted track 4 3/4> 3/8 down. Tilt can vary depending on what release I use.

Your opinions are appreciated.
