Shot is so ridiculously overwalled though I'm adding surface to the first 2 and swapping in a 2000s Blue Dot for the unused Combat Zone

I'm in the process of updating my equipment to mostly 900 Global (you're welcome, Doom!). My home house recently changed ownership and the conditions are spotty, so I'll adjust as necessary.

Continuum pin-up box
Continuum pin-down box with some laneshine
Claw pin-up box
Tactical Ops pin-up at 4000 rough
Turmoil Hybrid pin-up at box
Mix

I might swap out the Tactical Ops for a pin down United Revolt at 4000 rough.

In the bag? Choice, gb3, gb3 pearl, pink widow. In my locker but rarely thrown? Blue vibe, purple hammer, and drive. Locker balls are there as a just in case scenario. I never see those conditions at any other house, and rarely at this one.

Posted earlier with a grand plan but as usual by week 3 in THS league.

Hy-Road
Pathogen blue dot spare.

(edit:  Gah after not so great ball reaction first game last night probably going to need to start with my Venom Recoil after all first game).

Two house shot leagues, whatever I throw in the bag will work.

In my Scratch Draft league, we bowl PBA patterns. First quarter is Mark Roth, so will take my Villain at A pad(NEAT), Forge at T pad, Venom Cobra at box surface and probably the Venom Recoil for the first week.

The league is five person teams, so the Venom Cobra should be a nice option by game three.

MOAR SURFACE!! was a dumb idea unless I really don't want to ever get the balls to the dry. Guess I'm getting out the 5000 grit pad for everything

More surface! is not a dumb idea.....it just depends on the condition you're playing on! Last season, more surface was the way to go in three of my leagues! It gave me a look that nobody else had most times!

This season starting out, I'm going the complete opposite way! 3000-4000 abralon pads and in one house even more polish!! Go figure!

Well...for me on these lanes I hated it. It's the old "seems like 60 feet of oil in the middle and 10 feet outside 2nd arrow" nonsense.
