By Ron Hatfield, USBC certified Gold level coach When building a USBC Sport Bowling ball arsenal, variety is the key. Incorporate different surfaces such as reactive resin, particle, urethane and plastic and different drilling layouts (axis, label, stacked, etc.). The key is to know what each ball does within your own style on different USBC Sport Bowling lane oil patterns. This simply takes a lot of practice on different conditions comparing ball reactions to each other and then listing this information on a ball chart that you can keep in your bag for quick reference. This helps to eliminate guesswork during a tournament.
