Thanks for the info guys!

The balls do have a ton of games on them. They are around 5 years old and I did bowl a lot before I hung it up for a couple years. I would say they each have over 300 games on them each and all I have done to them is clean them with ball cleaners.

Would it be worth it to get these re-surfaced, and possibly plugged and re-drilled to get the reaction I am looking for?

Or is the new stuff that much better that I would be better served going with new equipment?

Thanks again!

Thanks,

I'm very good at spare shotting. I leave 1 or 2 splits every game and that typically gets me at least 1 open framea game because of them. That is where my score gets wrecked.

I would say I am around 98% on single pins and around there on anything other than a split. I'm very good with my plastic ball. I just need to carry more strikes!

if you have only 1 open a game then that means that you're getting at most only one double a game as well. Is that the case?

try keeping Track.. you might be suprised at what you find.

This is the case. I will get the score up into the mid 200's once every 5 games as I am still getting used to making the right adjustments quicker than 3-4 games into my practice!

I miss high 9 out of 10 times only missing light when I get make a bad stroke. I come through the ball hard but am not a cranker. More of a Walter Ray type at release. I go fairly straight at it, which is why I struggle when I start missing high. I can throw more of a hook if needed, but really dont like swinging the ball out too far.

Its not common for me to get splits. I maybe get one a three game set. So staying out of trouble could be one thing to work on.

You're eqipment is not that old. I have a step son using a Monster Bruiser and averaging over 210 with it. If its never been touched up at a Pro Shop that might help. More then likely the Bruiser needs to be polished.

What a lot of people have suggested takes more work and effort then buying a new ball, but they are right in that it will take that and good equipment selection to get over the 200 hump.

Thanks for the advice.

I may give my current lineup one more season. I need to get the inserts replaced and I'll get them refinished just to see what happens.

Thanks!
