Question
I'm bowling in a house on Saturday with Special Olympics. I have 2 storms. An Attitude and a Flashpoint. I use Factory Finish polish to my Flashpoint. I use Extender polish on top of Factory Finish. I use Matte Finish on my Attitude and use Neo Tack hook it. I use a grey pad to scuff it up. I stand at board 15 the 3rd arrow on the right side. I roll the ball about 7 and 8 boards. Between the first and second arrow. The lanes are dry. The lanes are not breaking at all. The ball is going left. What can I do about this problem.?

Answer
Chris,
When you miss left, move left (feet and target). If you jump across the head pin and miss the pocket by 6 boards, move your feet 6 left and target 4 boards left. Often a bigger move with your starting point (feet) will allow you to use a little more oil (as most lanes have more oil volume in the middle of the lane).

If the ball goes too long adjust the target and your feet a board or two back toward your original position until you get a better reaction.

Thanks for the question. Good luck.
