How dry is dry?
« on: June 12, 2004, 09:49:11 AM »
I've noticed that definitions of lane conditions seem to be somewhat subjective - I'm curious...

When you say the lanes are "dry", what do you mean?

Do you mean that your hook monster goes left off your hand, because the heads are a little dry?

Or do you mean that the track is burnt out, so you have to move a few boards left to find oil?

Or do you mean that you're lofting the gutter cap and playing 7th arrow???


I ran into a condition a couple of months ago where the heads were so toasty that no reactive or urethane ball I owned would get through the heads with enough energy to hit the pocket and carry out the 5-7. When I left a 5-7-10, I gave up, and went out to the car and got the XXXL. Paradise!!

Dry is when you have to include the lane number of where you are standing
