Okay, well I just got back from bowling and I didnt do so hot. This is my 4th week in and I have been doing absolutely horrible. Today I shot a 170, 102, and a 147. This is very frusturating since I use to average in the 190's - 200.
I didnt bowl for over a year, so I know that Im not going to get right back in where I left off, but come on a 102?
Today I through my TimeZone, and a few shots with my resurfaced X-Factor.
With my TimeZone, and the line I play with is over the 2nd arrow, so about the 10 board, and maybe a few boards in from there. What would happen is I would either pull it just a board, maybe 2 and it would hit high, usually leaving me a nice split. Now If I missed my mark to the outside, and it went to about the 8 board the ball never made it back to the pocket, and most times it would also leave me a nice split.
I have a feeling that I was just playing the wrong line for that ball, as I noticed since the ball hooks *earlier* that even if I did through it where i wanted it would still hit high.
Now as far as my Xfactor goes it was not pretty. The ball went about as straight as an arrow, maybe moving 5 boards at the max. The ball used to hook, and I used to be able to play the line I like (stated above) with it, but for some reason on these lanes I cant.
I figure I need a ball for medium to heavier oil thats going to have pretty strong backend so when I get it outside it can make it back to the pocket.
I also figure I need lots of practice to get back into things but thats another issue
Anyways, would ball would you guys recommend, that can go long with good backend, it more medium oil conditions, maybe on the heavy side besides the Black Widow Pearl.
Would the Toxic be a good ball? Any sugestions would help, and remember I have a SureFire on the way.
