y feet are generally around 15d my eyes are around 8. I will tr ygo up the lane with slower balleed, and try not to miss muchht. Once the heads start toeak down, I can chase the oile left and then eventuallyange balls.

Bryan OKeefe, the assistant coachof Team USA, suggests smoothrolling, medium equipment. Lowerrev rates can get away with moreball, and higher rev rates can getaway with weaker ballsbut themajority of players will use theirbenchmark or everything ball.

This length pattern can be reallytricky because you can get awaywith several different angles. Mostplayers will usually want to keeptheir ball between boards 7-10 atthe breakpoint. How you go aboutgetting the ball to this point isreally dependent on the type ofplayer. Straighter players will use amore direct approach throughthe front part of the lane, and theplayers more accustom tohooking the ball will be able tomove a little deeper, but still use7-10 board as their breakpoint.

Scores will be low on this pattern,so try to avoid those big splits and,as always, make your spares.

I generally use a heavy rolling,solid coverstock ball. The layout Iwill use is pin under my fingerswith an extra hole, and thesurface at 500 Abralon. Oncethat starts to hook too early, I willgo to something with the samelayout, but with less surface.

My feet, to start, are around 14-15and my eyes around 8-9, tryingnot get it right too far. I will startwith my normal hand position andsofter ball speed. Once they startto break down, I start to makeparallel moves left.

To start, I will use strong, evebowling balls, with pins belfingers and a surface arouAbralon. I can use a scoverstock on this pattern thother medium patterns sincefeet long.

On the fresh, my feet are 14 aeyes 8 and Im trying to use aball speed and go up thmore then on the other mpatterns. Also, I cant miss 5-6. Once they break down, can get into 20 and maround 12-13, still softer ball and Ill also stay with the saminstead of going to somweaker. This is because longer distance of oil versother medium patterns.
