My Friday night league has been experiencing some changes over the last 4 weeks, and the right handers have been shut out. The reason I say this is because the top 5 guys in the league are over 230, and all leftys. I decided that I needed to be one of them rightys that stopped crying about the lanes, and do something about it.
So last week, I decided to try out my Viz-a-ball, and play straight up the boards. If anything, the lanes playing straight up, its dry enough so that the ball will come back, and no one is playing that shot. I shot 648 with a 267 game. The other two games was because I couldn't pick up a 10 pin, or I would of shot 680-690.
Last night, I started out with a Purple Hammer, and was just playing straight up 10, where no one is playing. When the ball hits the dry, it make its move and doesnt over react, just a nice control hook, and was just wacking them, shot 234 the first game. Second game, I shot 199, once again missing a 10 pin in the 10th, or that game should easily of been a 210 game. I did made a ball change in the 3rd game because the lanes were starting to break down some, and I went back to my viz-a-ball, and shot 269 for a 702 series.
I dont know about you, but I think this was a great move, and now I got other people thinking about bringing out the older stuff, and try what I did. My average has jumped from 211 to 215 by making this move, and hope it keeps going. I will say this, you are going to leave 10 pins with the less hooking stuff, but you are going to leave nastier stuff with the reactives and others. If I was to pick up my 10 pins, I would be dangerous.
