Has anyone bowled in the State tournament in Erie yet?
Thoughts? Assume it will be a modified house shot again?
Thanks!

Anybody been to the tournament yet? I will be heading up this weekend coming.
-
I was there last weekend.
Fresh oil each squad this year. Very slick conditions. Most people (including me) didnt have enough surface. Playable, but bring something strong.
-
I'n your opinion is it better to play up the boards or swing it?
-
Hey.. sorry. For me, there wasnt an option to swing it. Wouldn't come up for me. I ended up playing up 5,6,7 board area with a scuffed up Conspiracy solid (fortunately I have a 1500 grit pad in my bad).
I didnt really even move until game 5 of singles (bowl doubles first this year). Finally, there was a bit of dry developing - I switched to my Squatch and was able to swing a little.
That being said, I randomly drew lane assignments and bowled (both days) with multiple folks who were either throwing plastic or urethane down the middle. I think a group playing a similar line could break it down faster and have some decent room.
I agree that it wasnt that hard, but just much more volume than I typically see.

Well, I like to play up the boards so maybe the shot will suit my game a little better.
-
So how was it? You bowl well??
-
I thought the shot was pretty even and fair at both houses. You could pretty much play anywhere except out passed the 5 board, that was the out of bounds area. I played fairly straight up the 10 to 12 boards, I just couldn't string any strikes together. It would either be some sort of pocket 9 count or I missed my mark. All in all I bowled 176 pins over my average and I'm happy with that.
