I'm sure others will have better answers for you, but I wouldn't be surprised if what you call heavy really isn't heavy. From what I understand the Scorchin needs true heavy oil to really produce in OOB condition. Now, if what you are bowling on is really medium or medium-heavy, the Scorchin may be burning up. I have a guy on my team that throws this year's PBA Inferno (a Scorchin'), and I've been telling him its just too much ball. He doesn't understand why the ball seems to die out on him, when it's for heavy oil. He figures that means it hooks more than anything else. But if there isn't enough oil, the Scorchin uses too much energy in the early part of the lane and will be dead before it hits the pins. Also, even though it's a heavy oil ball, that doesn't mean it covers a ton of boards. It just means it can grip the lane and get into a roll better. I've found that heavy oil balls often cover a lot LESS boards than you would expect, they're usually smoother and not snappy in the back like many medium pieces. Hope that helps!

Mr. Lebowski, this is Bill Salnicker with the Southern Cal Bowling League, and I just got a, an informal report, that a member of your team, uh, Walter Sobchak, drew a firearm during league play. If this is true of course, it contravenes a number of the league's by-laws, and article 27 of the league...
BOB: Did you see the way she was lookin' at me?
DOUG: Yeah, because she thought you were some kind of freak!
