Question
Righ now im using a Commander Zone Brunswick ball, it just seem to break to much on dryer lanes,,, im down n in, slow to med speed, stroker. bout the 10th board.. Do you have any suggestions for a ball that would not break as much till needed to hit pocket. ?I like the Zone on oil but on dryer I just dont have the speed to hold the line

Answer
To keep it as simple as you can if you really like the ball you have now,buy another one & drill it straight up (no weights & pin above fingers)& shine it. They will back each other up when the shot changes.You will get close to the same line on the lane with both but the shiny one will take over where the dull one leaves off.If you get another brand,you take a chance it won't work right for you & may hook more even shined.
