Hi all
After getting back into bowling last year. I had struggled with a few things more especially to equipment related issues.. While having inconsistency with my delevery which is a whole other i issue I had seeked and felt out advice from many local PSO's and various websites sites including this one I have manage to some what educate myself. I also went through the cariculum here at BCU. Which helped a great deal.
I have been through quite a few balls in seeking a desired outcome. I have found that the layout that is worked best for me is 45X4.5X40 and 50X5X40.
Having said that I do see a big difference in reaction between the symmetrical and the asymmetrics as far as mid lane read and length to break point.
Equipment with these 2 layouts are the
optimus solid
Timeless
Sure lock
C LOCK.
Two of which I have adjusted the surface to tame them down which are the lock optimus solid..
And next and last for a while is the tropical storm for dryer conditions
I've been through what I considered non favorable
Black widow legend
Optimus pearl
Dream big
Grease monkey pow and grease monkey whack
Respect pearl which I actually liked. Had a 95X3X25
But only reacted to medium, dry conditions
They layout on these where more of 55X25, 45X35 and 55 X30
But what I'm unsure of now. Do I get hung up on these two layouts or continue to experiment with the equipment that I have set aside?
Two of those I donated to the high school team
One to my son.
Any oipinons, suggestions or recommendations are welcome.
Thanks in advance

Next time Mo is in your area you need to have him performance fit you. Well worth the time and trouble unless you strive for being mediocre.
