Bowled Saturday, second shift team, and then bowled fresh singles/doubles.

Was pretty surprised at the amount of hook on the fresh set and the team set was pretty wild in how darn dry it was. Didn't throw it well enough for any three games in a row to shoot anything and left shooting just 1964. Had one big game (choked for a 298 lol), but outside of that just a bunch of little games.

I also bowled it last Saturday and Sunday, 1st and 2nd shift.  There was alot of friction in the backend and carry was very iffy.  Best look by far was the new LT-48 from 15-7 and keeping my hand behind the ball.  Once carry became spotty, I jumped further inside with a Columbia Takedown and kept it tight.  After a disappointing 635 in the first team event, I went 2188 the next 3 sets.

Highly polished Ultra Zone
Green and white Misfit

Power groove
Plastic

I wouldn't say all weak stuff.  Take your best control piece, something that doesn't go crazy when it hits the dry, and start with that.  I am about 450rpm's, give or take a few.  There was still plenty of oil, just a lot of friction on the backend.  Controlling the backend was the key.  I didn't want the ball going sideways because you didn't know which pin in the back row you were gonna leave.  My brother battled this his second set, shot 475.  Next set followed my lead and had 739.  All by keeping the entry angle flatter.
