Brad says:

Also… it would be great to know the oil pattern of the lane you are bowling on. Like whether or not the oil is a long pattern or short one, a fresh shot or a shot that has been bowled on for a couple of shifts now. I bowl on two different patterns (1 Fresh and 1 with a Shift already bowled on it) and would like to know if it would work for both or not. That along with the releases and speeds.

I would like to see the approach not just the ball rolling down the lane.

John Congdon says:

Good ideas, I will try to include this information on future videos. I can tell you that this was a THS (Typical House Shot) that we asked them to put down before our league began. It was not bowled on previously. I did not get the exact pattern from them though.

John Congdon says:

We can work on putting some in our videos as well. I try to keep our video on the shorter side, but can understand you wanting to see the approach.

I will try to incorporate some of these camera angles in the future as well.

Thanks for all the ideas everyone, keep them coming. We are definitely listening to your feedback.

How about cranker, tweener, and stroker info on the bowlers. Was the ball out of box finish or did you alter the surface some how?

Brian Halstrom says:

Hi Trent. Thank you for the comment. Here are my specs and info about the Cell Pearl that I threw:

Pin to PAP(4 1/2" over 1/2" up) - 6"
Mass Bias Position - 5" from PAP
CG Placement - 1" Left of grip center
Balance Hole - None

Surface Preparation - Left at Box Finish (1500 Polished)

What I Was Looking For In This Layout: I went ahead and tried Roto Grip's recommended layout for crankers, the 6 x 5 layout. They say that this will work good for those inside lines.

What I Ended Up With In This Ball Layout: If you liked the Cell, then you are going to love the Cell Pearl. Not only does this ball look GREAT going down the lane, but it hits like a truck. Even with the pin so far from my PAP, this ball is still one of the more aggressive balls in my arsenal. This gets through the heads pretty easily, then jumps off the dry and makes a left turn. Skid/Snap would be a valid description of what I get out of this ball layout.

I started around 15 at the arrows and was getting the ball out to around 5. It was flying back off the dry, so I ended up moving in towards 18 at the arrows and kept the ball closer to 8-10 at the breakpoint. This allowed the ball motion to transition smoother off the breakpoint and give me the look I needed.

After a game and a half, the lanes had broken down and I was forced to move in deeper. My first move in was to stand on 34 on the approach and put the ball over 23 at the arrows 12 at the breakpoint. The look this gave me was terrific. It did provide enough kick at the breakpoint to snap the corners out at the very end.

More information please. Some comments on the ball and it's reaction would be nice. For all we know we saw 20 strikes out of 1000.

John Congdon says:

We will try to keep them coming. You know the old saying, "Time and Money." Never seems to be enough of either of them. We really enjoy doing them, and love giving the information to bowlers that we feel they need.
