What did this one play like? I see you used some very strong equipment.

Since this was our first week on this pattern, I wrote down a few notes when I got home from league. The pattern is 43 feet long but there didn't appear to be a high volume of oil or there was a very short buffer. The ball saw friction right at the end of the pattern. There was a lot of hook down lane. Everyone was expecting something like the shark pattern but this wasn't it.

Equipment. I didn't know what to expect so I loaded up the trunk with a mix of equipment, some dull some with less surface. WMB@green pad, Dimension@1000 abralon, Bite@gold pad, Awesome Finish@green pad, Awesome Revs@4000 abralon, Ultra Zone@4000 abralon. Next week I'll leave most of the duller stuff home. I think my Rico'd Toxic or Ulitmate Inferno might work well on this pattern. Both are stronger pieces that roll on the backend.

Game 1- I started at the end pair in the house when can always be "fun". I prefer to play outside when possible. During practice I found a nice line with my Dimension, standing on 14 playing straighter down 7.

Game 2- This pair played a lot tighter. I'm not sure if this was because I started on the end pair or if I just burned up the outside during practice on that pair. Either way the outside line wasn't there, the dimension ball didn't have enough backend to recover. I made the change to the Bite for more backend but that wasn't much better. In the 7th I made another change to the dull Awesome Finish which was too strong to play straight with. Next frame, I jumped inside standing on 22 looking to hit 10 at the arrows.

Game 3- "Textbook Grind Game" I started this game with a couple bad shots with the Finish. I didn't really have a reason to go back to the Dimension, it was one of those "feel" moves I guess. I was slowing moving inside, with my feet and target. I was leaving easy spares and the match was close so I wasn't pressured to do anything drastic. I finally ended up standing on 22 looking at 15 at the arrows and this was the sweet spot.

Game 4. - I continued with playing around 15. The first two frames were bad releases, I just missed them at the bottom. After that it was smooth sailing. Missed a couple easy spares but this match was over early, my opponent never found a look on this pair.
