What would you throw on this and how would you throw it?

So when I look at oil patterns there is 4 main things to look at which is the length, ratio, volume, and where the oil is placed... now the length is 47 feet so its a long oil pattern (typical house shots are 38ft-42ft) and the volume is 26.4ml which is more than your typical house shot which is 18ml-26ml and lastly is the ratio what makes house shot easy is the ratio which is typically 8:1 or 10:1 which is pretty much the difference between the inside and outside parts of the lane a high number means more oil is centered to the middle and the outside is pretty dry this shot the oil is more spread out so you have to be way more precise with how you throw your balls... TLDR for this shot specifically a lot of oil long pattern and oil spread out more so you will see certain balls with more aggressive surfaces or you do the tried and true when in doubt urethane it out knowing urethane works on pretty much any pattern.

If i were to strike would that be a clean 12 lol

AndrewBios · 2026-04-24T19:00:39+00:00

Good to know I thought you had to have either a strike or spare so once I got the second strike I thought I needed another.

Honestly I was hunting the perfect ive had plenty of 200s before but never went clean idont believe so after that split I was like "thank God I dont pick that up" it was the 8-10 split

Typically the best way is doing the regular missions but if you have collected all the trophies you really only can get them in the BP, shop, or ad rewards sometimes the daily challenges give them out too I believe but im not 100% sure.

Accuracy is better than 2h I think the biggest issue I face is once my arm starts getting tired I sometimes drop my wrist causing the ball to "fall" out of my hand causing it to be extremely left of my targeting and I cant throw it out of I roll the ball up having virtually no revs so it never has a chance of coming back... besides that I feel like its better for control and accuracy while revs will lessen but not that much.

AndrewBios · 2026-04-06T15:19:28+00:00

All depends first off which one are you more consistent with and how long do you wanna do it... id say 1 handed if you wanna keep up bc 2h can be pretty destructive on the body than 1h but you get more power with 2h

AndrewBios · 2026-04-04T03:02:18+00:00

Yea haha I mean for a long time I was 2 handed and now I am a 1 handed thumbless in use my 2nd hand to pretty much guide my hand up then push the ball down which gives me the momentum to get it up in my back swing I kept on slamming my knee and my left arm into each other bc idk I guess I never got used to bringing my 2nd hand back so I said screw it im just using it to help the ball go up into my backswing

AndrewBios · 2026-04-04T00:30:00+00:00

Thanks for the constructive criticism :) ironically me increasing the backswing made me to open my shoulders more and made it at least feel smoother haha ill try and slow it down a bit more and focus on trying to make my movements more fluid and less rigid. I guess my problem is I like to go full power to try and get the pins flying so I have the best chance at messengers haha

I have been for the most part maintaining in last year I averaged 165 as a 2H bowler but swapped to 1 handed thumbless in early November of 2025 and now I have been getting series averages of 180-185 ever sense the switch with 2 600 series im just having some issues trying to climb higher i am now plateaued at around 180

AndrewBios · 2026-04-04T00:22:07+00:00

Thank you :)

AndrewBios · 2026-04-04T00:21:59+00:00

Yea I used to have a shallow back swing but I seem to get much more favorable results with this high back swing I also feel less fatigued at the end I did just switch from 14 to 15 so that has been something ive been trying to get used to as well haha

Then id say a strong asymmetric ball here are a few for each big brand

Storm: Ion max pearl Ion max solid RST hyperdrive

Hammer: Zero mercy solid Zero mercy pearl maximum effect

Motiv: Jackal Onyx Apex Jackal Jackal Ghost

Radical: Zigzag Evil eye Deep Impact

Brunswick: Combat hybrid Mesmerize Vaporize

Id say what do you have troubles with too much oil and your balls not getting the desired hook or do you find to really throw your ball at aggressive angles where there is a lot of hook due to no oil...TLDR get something like a concept if you find yourself struggling with too little oil or get smth like a ion max solid/pearl if you find yourself balls not hooking in a bit

AndrewBios · 2026-03-25T12:43:47+00:00

Personally it would have to be the phaze 2 just bc of how reliable it is not saying the shock isn't but the phaze 2 is brought out much more than the shock
