What Balls and Drill patterns would be good for Reno?
« on: December 21, 2003, 09:19:47 PM »
It always seems to be an outside shot in that house.
I read in a Bowlers Journal Article written by
Chris Barnes that he said the breaks point
in the Stadium is at the 3 pin which is inside.
He said to use equipment that doesn't really snap.
So something medium and arcy maybe.

What do you all think?

I know Bob hanson has some good insights since he has bowled
both the nationals and ABC Masters.

The feedback I've received from the better bowlers echoes what Bob Hanson says, both conditions- and ball selection-wise.  I know that's not additional information, but a little confirmation helps.  I'll be able to tell you personally after this May.

Thanks Bob. It sounds right. I'll try some
different equipment with all label drills.
I think that should help. Maybe some
Partice and Reactive Pearls with strong core
such as the X-Factor Original and Reloaded.
If i use strong equipment, use 6 inch pin drill
or stick with 5 x 5 or 4 x 4.


Bob: What equipment do you plan to bring?

Any specific balls?

In addition to those suggestions, I would invest (if you don't already own one) in a plastic spare ball.  Unless you are able to flatten out your normal ball...throwing hard and straight.  I think spare shooting is one of the biggest problem areas for people bowling on a tough shot.
Good Luck!
