i know there all high-end balls, but i have them drilled to do certain thing. for example, my Twisted Fury is drilled really weak and is for dry lanes. my virtual energy is drilled for med-dry to med-heavy lanes. and my one pearl works on everything oh, and the fury is symmetrical so it doesn''t have a mass bias.

Congrats on the 300...shot my first when I was 18..9 months after I started bowling.

Not going to bash you for having too many balls....I personally think at your age you shouldn''t have more than 4 to carry so you can learn to play different shots.

but....

If you''re going to carry that many balls you should reevaluate what kind of versatility you have. Every ball but your spare ball is a high end super aggressive ball with an asymmetrical core. You can''t possibly have much variety of motion down the lane with 7 high mb differential balls.

Like I said....it shows your lack of versatility. If I had a guess you are good at playing between 3rd and 4th arrow, and most of the tournaments you bowl have lane conditions that let you play there.

I''m not trying to bash you....merely stating a fact. You need some more verstatility in your lineup, and to narrow it down.

acctually, i bowl best playing around 3rd - 4th like you said, but i bowled a 780 series going straight up 1st arrow, and I''ve averaged 200 for a 12 game practice session going 5th arrow, so i am very versatile. and all the tournaments i bowl are on PBA oil patterns, so i cant play 3rd-4th most of the time. im not trying to be a jerk, im just tellin the truth.

everyone always says the same thing! I'M NOT A TYPICAL 13 YEAR OLD BOWLER!!!! i dont try to hook it as much as i can like most people my age, i practice 36 games a week, and whats wrong with liking high end bowling balls? when i throw a bad shot and dont strike, i dont assume i got "robbed". i go back, pick up the spare, and i dont make the same mistake again. i spend my free time learning all that i can about drilling layouts, bowling balls, lane conditions, and adjusting to lane conditions. and i do expect to average 190-200, but i expect that because i know that i have the ability to. i dont expect to do it without trying.

quote:
I would agree put your arsenal in your profile. Looking at your listed equipment makes me sick. I just can''t see a 13 yr old having that much stuff. Then on top of it all being so top end heavy.
I have seen more and more of the younger players just jumping between different equipment. They do not take the time to learn how to ajust to different lane conditions. I am 36 years old started out with a Brunswick Twister and moved up from there. I have had to learn how to adjust just like many people my age and older. Having all this equipment now that will more or less do the job for you has hurt the younger bowlers. Almost all of them are expecting to be able to 190 to 200 with out trying. I have heard many young bowlers talking about how if they don''t strike they got robbed no matter how bad of a ball they threw. Maybe I am in the wrong I don''t know. I am waiting for my son to be old enough that I can start working with him on how to adjust and read the lanes as best as I can do it. I am not that great at it but I can still pass it on to my son. This seems to be a lost art with some of the younger bowlers.
Oh yeah shot my first and only 300 9/19/94. It was my first year in men''s league.

This might sound a little kiss ash but judging by your response's on here to the several guy's jumping on your back about your equipment and the # of equipment, You young lad are not the "typical youngster" I have came to know. I wish 95% of the Prep's, Junior's and Major's that I coach on Saturday morning's had your knowledge. Most of the kid's I coach have 1 mind set and that's to hook it channel to channel and most of the time hitting brooklyn (righties). You're already learning drilling pattern's and oil condition's, most of the kid's in this leauge don't even know what either of those are.

Anyway, Congrat's on your score.

My 300 is out there somewhere! 20 year's and still trying, will it happen in my 21st year of bowling?

Not expecting it to happen.

Sorry if it sounded like I was attacking you, I was just wondering the thought process of using a twisted furry for dry lanes. Congrats on the 3 by the way.
