I love it, does exactly what I wanted on both heavy oil or medium oil. New Question The other day I was playing around as I was leaving and bowled a ball with my regular running shoes and bowled an easy strike. Thinking this was a fluke I tried it again and bowled another strike. So I played my next game with my regular running shoes and bowled a 180 my highest score yet? Whats the deal? I actully like the feel of planting my slide foot it gave me much more power on my realease and I was able to get more power behing the ball. Is this leagal can you bowl with regular shoes or do you have to use bowling shoes. Also, Why did this become such an advantage for me? Is this something I can keep doing? Or is this just a fluke and will not benifit my game in the long run? Thanks Guys

If I pull the ball a little I got light for a 2 pin with and without friends, and if I swing the ball outside to much it goes high. The agressive ball that I have been using typically has a pin 5.5" from the PAP with a 45 to 60 degree layout. The solution I am thinking of is to go with a more agressive cover stock with a shorter PAP to Pin distance and a smaller Pin/PAP to Pin/PSA angle say around 20 to 45 degree layout. This has seemed to work to some degree. I have used an Ebonite One with a 3.75" Pin to PAP distance at a15 to 20 degree layout. Am I on the right track with this problem or should I be looking at something different?
