A few weeks ago, I encountered a lane condition where I could get no drive no matter what ball I threw. I watched my Mastermind bounce off the headpin. Did I just have ridiculous carry down causing this, or could there have been another cause? How do you counter this? As the night moved on, the shot got better. By third game, I started to be able to carry in the pocket, and the practice games on that set had the first good scores of the night on those lanes.
