Can't beat'em? then join'em
« on: February 05, 2008, 03:44:39 AM »
This could be lengthy but I'll try to keep it short.
I posted a few times about house hacks and THS wall shots. I couldn't find all the links but here's one;  http://www.ballreviews.com/Forum/Replies.asp?TopicID=187053&ForumID=16&CategoryID=5

People complain about how easy THS conditions are and what-not.  Well I was complaining too but what good does that do?  Besides, if THS wall shots are so easy then why was I just averaging 205 on them?  Not only that, other people complaining about THS wall shots are not caring a real high average either. I don't bowl tournaments and if I do happen to bowl in one, it will be scratch.  So what harm will it do to "inflate" my average?

As I was talking about on the other link, I had league night tonight with my new ball, Columbia Resurgence.

The lanes had more oil than in the first half of the league.  I played 10 board at arrows to about 5-6 board at break point.  The line held all game and I shot 268.  Left a 7 pin and solid 9 pin.  
The 2nd game my line was drying out.  2nd ball hit high for a split.  Moved deeper but tried playing a tight line instead of the "area" THS gives.  Hit lite pocket for 10 pin, missed spare.  Threw lite again for another split.  Finally in the 8th frame I played the "area" with a little more swing and hook.  Went off the sheet for 204.  Transition was still happening so I moved deeper in the 3rd game.  Played 14 board at arrow out to about 10-8 at break point.  Shot 249 last game for 721.  Looks like my new Resurgence ball will allow me to play the "area" shot on THS conditions.  I just need to figure out that transition from the end of the first game to the middle of the second.

So whats the point of this post? The THS part or that the resurgence is a good ball?

Both, besides i get tired of seeing the same posts with little to no responses and I was bored so I thought i would post about my thoughts on THS conditions and how to "play" them and that the Resurgence is a great ball.  For me anyway.  

I guess I better find more things to keep me busy at work...spending to much time on BR.
