Although I no longer bowl because of my bad back I stopped just when reactive resin’s were produced. I am gonna guess that you are a cranker and use one of those balls That does help about 10-15 pin’s in average which is why there are a lot more better bowler’s At that tme I used either a hard rubber ball or a Columbia 300 plastic. As a child I did bowl in league until about 15 yrs old. I stopped bowling for about 4-5 yrs and then bowled 1 more league and could no longer stand the waiting. I then started bowling only Friday night action about 90 minutes after the last league They used a house pattern for oil and it was always the same every week. I wish Icould get back out there and probably as a 3 stepper.Maybe even go down an ounce with a ball. Not to be.As an action bowler some of us just loved when the bragger’s just kept bullshitting each other then at 3-4 AM walking out of the lane minus a few hudred dollars. Don’t get wrong all of us really like each other but it was the guy’s from about 40-50 miles away and we go tired of them with their bragging. Now I only sandbagged a few times,pitching out,missing spares by just a little and it is not as easy as one thinks about missing by a little. Arounf 2-3 hours the oil was broken down and just about anyone could bowl well above their average going way outside and hitting flush or come in a little light and strike. Well the lanes are now gone and it seems like so many of them are going the way of the dodo because the land is worth money than the league’s I was not a cranker, I was just a straight shooter and to be good bowling like that you have to be a real goos spare shooter which I was. Now after the oil was way down the lane after a few hours the crankerhad to go deep inside which did leave some funny looking split’s Ahh the good ole day’s I moved to a town in COlorado where there is a pro bowler,I think he lost his sponser and his average was I think about 230 which is high but this was a house lane . It is so much harder when they switch pattern’s every week on the tour
