Question
I WANT TO KNOW DO PROS ALWAYS THROW TOP SPEED 18MPH OR HIGHER TO GET GOOD PIN ACTION ON LANE CONDITION OR DO THEY
DROP DOWN TO 17MPD AS SLOW 14MPH TO GET GOOD PIN ACTION ON
DIFFERENT OIL PATTERNS. I THROW ON HOUSE OIL PATTERNS HOW I
BEST ATTACK IT ESPECIALLY I BOWL ON NIGHT LEAGUE AFTER 9PM.
WHICH LANES ARE MUCH DRYER.

Answer
Efrain,
Ball speed is a great asset. Adjusting speed is a way to adjust to changing lane conditions. But, the highly practiced professionals use whatever options they have. Some try physical adjustments, some change balls, some use hand position adjustments, whatever it takes.

Strong expensive balls don't work so well on a dry lane. You are trying to outperform BAD ball reaction. A BAD idea.

Thanks for the question.
