Bowling/Rolling out

Question
Hi Chip,
My Ebonite Fire keeps rolling out on the lanes. I never had this problem with my Scorchin Inferno. The drill for the fire is pin below bridge. Scorchin Inferno is pin below ring finger. By the way I'm a tweener. My axis tilt is 45 to 50 degrees.
Thanks!

Answer
Is this problem noticeable on the same lane condition?
It would seem either there is too much oil down the lane for the Fire and that is causing it to skid, or the Fire has gotten dull/dirty and causing it to lose some traction.
If the lane was too dry, then the Scorchin would be rolling out before the Fire would.

Good luck,
Chip
