whats the secret to carry when playing in?
« on: September 29, 2009, 07:37:23 AM »
when playing in tight, my carry percentage goes very low, i gave up my side rotation and ball has more end over end, even tho the ball comes back but it just wont carry as good

any tips to carry when playing deep?
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

I find heavier rolling balls with bigger cores tend to work better from playing deep inside lines as far as carry goes

I was always under the impression that when you get way inside you need to get around the ball more to create the correct entry angle.  End over end normally is bad for carry when you're deep inside, correct?

Bob hit it for what I think most of the time but tilt and axis rotation are paramount for best carry on an inside line.

I use longer pin to pap plus higher rg balls when playing inside. Having the ball rev later stores alot more energy witch promotes more carry from deep for me. Polished or Pearlized balls plus the above mentioned solve that problem for me. Good luck.

when moving inside, i normally do 5-5½ from pap, depending on the pattern. longer oil i use duller coverstock and medium i use polished, but mostly low rg to get it rev up sooner

Ever try varying your finger positions with your index and pinkie fingers?  Just a thought...
