Has anyone had any experience bowling on the pba shark at a wood house? There's a 5 game sweeper this weekend I'm going to try and make and that's what was mentioned to be used. I've only bowled in the house 1 time and the heads were pretty burned up from what I remember. Anyways does anyone have any insight on equipment to use and what they saw? Just want to get some ideas thanks!

Shark on wood?? Man, that just sounds like it will get ugly in a hurry.

Two Points:
-adjust to the condition and take what it gives you. Play it where your reaction takes you. Don't be "it's supposed to play here" guy.
-make an effort to preserve the front part of the lane on wood.
Just my 2 cents......

Heads that blow up with Shark? Sounds like a grind.

If you can keep the ball straighter, I think the Shark could play pretty nice, or at least nicer on wood. Natural track in the finish becomes a bigger factor, and the shot should open up a bit between 10 and 15 board. The old shark pattern would have played super on wood.

one tip, just because it is long doesnt mean use charcoal.....especially on wood

Good point. I have probably stated this a dozen times, but worth repeating. Trying to create added friction to overcome long oil is a self defeating strategy on any surface. Work on squaring up and getting the ball into a roll. Good strategy on any surface with a long pattern. You will be amazed at the carry from a little more finesse and a little less pure power.
