Ball review AVALANCHES

AVALANCHE SOLID.

Had this ball layed out with pin in the palm and 0 degree, box finish.

Absolutely love this ball, have used it on a variety of patterns now. Short, long, house on plastic and plastic wood combo. It gives me fantastic control on all of them, an amount of this is obviously the layout but also the core plays a major part.
The big hitters will like the area you can create and the control off the dry boards, also the more straighter player will like the length it gives you without having to force through the fronts.
This should be a ball for everybody to add to their arsenal, it doesn´t require a specific pattern to give you very good results.

AVALANCHE PEARL.

Had this one drilled up with pin above the bridge box finish.

If you need a very mellow reactive this is the ball for you. Glides through the front and delays the mid-lane reaction also. Ideal for the outside and down the board bowler even if you don´t have much pace. Does dull down if need be to bring the move closer to you.
Could be a godsend for any player who regularly bowls on dry, and or wood.
It can be hit! but the reaction will still take place further down the lane than most calm reactives.

Always a good event this one, lots of teams and generally high scores.

As it turned out the pattern played like it should be high scoring but it didn´t really pan out that way for quite a few players. Personally it was a case of too much oil in the middle in relation to the early friction in the track, culminating in over-under reaction.

To combat this I had to throw the Avalanche solid with pin in the palm and the same layout on an Impulse Zone, this at least gave me some control off the dry and early enough roll if I missed inside.
The only problem with this is the carry, due to the nature of the early roll sometimes hitting quite flat.

My scores reflected this, through the whole event I only shot 4 sub 200 games (from 18).
From those 18 games I believe I was 230 over so could have been worse? In hindsight a bit more pace would have been useful but equally with the hand required.

Back to the practice lanes!!

League Night at Ilkeston

The fun never ends! Not only did I bowl with my brother for the first time in a league me missus has a 300! Although I did thrash her for the set! Shooting 780 to her 665!
I was using the red zone and she was throwing her newly drilled Ultra Zone.
Next stop Scott Banks!

Happy practising......go on the Robins!!
