Question from Coffolot:
Q – Hey guys, Just a question for John. I bowl a similar style and speed to you. Just wondering on light oil what would be your preferred ball? At the moment I am using a Tropical Storm and Tropical Storm Heat. Thanks
A – To date, my favorite ball for lighter oil would be the Brunswick Slingshot. There are 5 colors to choose from, mine being the Silver/Black. It’s been a great bowling ball especially for the price point.
Question from Curtis M:
Q – Can you tell me how to adjust to different oil patterns. Like when it’s a short pattern vs. a longer oil pattern?
A – Telling someone how to adjust is nearly impossible since there are so many variables that come into play from lane surface to the bowlers release. The easiest way to describe what you may want to try would be first make sure your equipment and the surface of your equipment match up to what you are bowling on.
With all the different balls on the market today you can usually find something that will match up to almost every pattern. Other people try things like adjusting the ball speed they use or the obvious where they play on the lane.
The most important thing is to find a part of the lane where you feel comfortable and then find a ball that you can get to the pocket and carry with. What ends up working for you may not work at all for the bowler next to you.
