im a high rev player...i prefer going from very deep to about the 10 board, but ive been playing much straighter outside lately. i throw mainly low-aggressive equipment b/c of my revs...is there an out-of-bounds there?...good carry?...thanks for the info.

so going straighter up the lanes is better there?...for a high rev player, will there be enough oil to use a very aggressive ball?...or should i plan on using a a weaker ball, which i usually get around 15 boards of hook with on medium oil anyway?...im just trying to get an idea of what to bring in august...all info is greatly appreciated.

The Orleans has Brunswick Anvilane as their surface (just without the lines every five boards). That is the slickest surface in the market, and the people at the Orleans keep that surface really really really clean, so it is already slick "as is". Also, the surface is still quite new, it's something less than 5 years old (less scratches caused by ball surface, which means its slick again). So a 35' house pattern (to me at least) "plays" a little longer... like 39-41'.

i know the anvilanes are slick...compared to the new amf lanes, its like bowling on ice. thanks for letting me know what to expect, but does anyone know if there is an out-of-bounds on the outside of the lane, or is it basically walled up?

Erik,
It's not like Sam's Town where it's just a massive wall and almost any ball you have in your bag will work, but if you have the right "hand" and equipment, you should be able to do well. The higher rev players tend to use milder equipment and be able to use all the hand they want over there, and the straighter players can take out their strong balls and play their "A" Game, as well. It's capable of high scoring if you know what you are doing.
From the tournaments I've been to over there, their shot appears to be fair for all bowlers.
Speaking of Las Vegas, does have any idea what's going to happen to the Showboat? Tear it down and sell the bowling center equipment? What's up?

Looks like it may turn into a Hispanic-themed resort & casino. No word of what will happen with the bowling center, though.

The lanes have alot of oil, bring an agressive ball and a towel to wipe off all the oil on your ball. If your throw an agressive ball you will score, I bowled in the city tournament and all the high scores were from high rev players playing up the boards instead of swinging it.
-
sounds like fun for me...thanks.

Yeah, well all the years before this past Wipeout there, they had put out tough conditions. This year, was just flat out WALLED. So I have no idea what really is there normal house shot, but hopefully its not a fat wall, so then everyone and their mom has a chance.

I've bowled open there spring break last year. The surface is in good shape, but in terms of amount of lineage on the lanes, It's probably of a lane surface that plays much older. However, the surface continues to play slick in the times I have bowled there in the past year.
In terms of replacement, if the Orleans has the money to do it after about 5 years, that will be amazing.

I may be way off, but is the tournament limiting the amount of equipment that you bring?

it doesn't take an average to win in match play!

The house shot is typically very oily, so bad that when your ball comes back from the return you can see large amounts of oil on your ball. The back ends are pretty strong once you get pass the oil,if you bring the right equipment.I just drilled a Ultimate Inferno there and it came back strong.
-
mr track, they arent limiting the equipment...this is the junior bowlers tour las vegas open. i just cant haul more than 4 bowling balls all the way from nyc on a plane. i want to make sure i bring the right equipment. thanks.

i bowl in the new jersey conference...havent bowled in any ny tourneys. i would say wodzinski is the best...i would hope that my name would be near the top of some lists as well, and i have seen pepe alot and think he is the most consistent lefty. i would fedex my equipment, but storing it and carrying it all over the place isnt what im looking for...thats why i wanted to have an idea of the shot before i left...ill figure out something with what ive got...thanks everyone.

only difference i think is that Pepe is 15/16 n i think wodzinski is 18/19 ... but im rooting for my boy in the BEST tourney... dunno if your bowling in that, as well as the vegas n junior usa gold
-
yea ill be at the best tourney...and ill be at vegas...i cashed there last year. i just turned 19, but i lost 2 years bowling because i had major shoulder surgery from baseball. this is only my second year in the jbt's.

hotwire13,
I figured...I will be going to the JBT invitational as well, and will be carrying 6 balls on the plane from Ontario.
Hopefully there are buy-in spots for the BEST tournament in NJ. I am hoping to bowl in that too.

thanks stone8, but i know the rules and the format...i was there at castaways last year and cashed. i just wanted to know what type of shot they normally have down, because i was at gold coast practicing last year and they had an out of bounds set up. i didnt know if that was their house shot or not, so i figured the orleans could have a completely different condition. thanks.

that helps alot...especially about the lower end playing straighter. its good knowing the tendencies from lane to lane when im at home, but knowing something like that is great when going far away. im surprised to hear about some lanes being in somewhat bad condition...jimmy t that helps alot. thanks again.
