I now have a basic three ball arsenal. \u00a0I have a Columbia-300 Arch Rival, a Brunswick Twisted Fury and a Columbia 300 White Dot for right hand spares, all weighing 15lbs.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The Arch Rival was my first ball and was drilled for maximum length and a strong backend reaction by placing the PIN about an inch about the fingers. \u00a0<\/p>\n
I bought the Twisted Fury about two months later and after observing the reaction on the Arch Rival, I had it drilled to have a little more midlane recovery while still maintaining a strong backend reaction. \u00a0This was achieved by putting the PIN about 1\/2″ above and 1\/2″ outside the ring finger hole. \u00a0What I found when actually threw this ball, however, was that it actually went just about as long as the Arch Rival with a little more backend reaction. \u00a0<\/p>\n
To get a bigger reaction difference between them, I decided to have the Arch Rival sanded down to 400 grit. \u00a0This made the ball react a little weaker of the breakpoint, but gave the ball a whole lot more midlane reaction and go in to a roll a little earlier.<\/p>\n
My strategy come league night, is to open the lanes up with Arch Rival. \u00a0I bowl down and in, throwing the ball down the 5 board. \u00a0At about the 30′ mark the balls starts to make a move back toward the pocket. \u00a0After about a game the lane starts to transition a little. \u00a0I usually make a move inside by about four boards and change my target one board inside. \u00a0If I have to move my feet again within the game, I usually make a ball change to my Twisted Fury and return to my original line. \u00a0The extra length on the Fury with the extra backend reaction means the ball finishes right in the pocket all over again.<\/p>\n
By the third game I’ve usually moved in about seven boards with my feet about three boards with my eyes. \u00a0I’ve found that the further I move, in the sharper the reaction gets off the breakpoint, from both balls. I need to work on pushing the ball further down the lane and playing different angles when necessary by adjusting ball speed and axis rotation.<\/p>\n
The White Dot travels in a straight line no matter hard many revolutions I put on the ball. \u00a0I suspect that if the ball might react a little if the lanes get bone dry, but I doubt it would be more than a board or two. \u00a0I still need to practise with this ball to ensure I hit my mark again and again. \u00a0I’ve noticed that if I miss my mark by more than a board to either side, I tend to miss the pin I’m shooting at as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anyway, back to practise I guess…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
