late reacting ball
 
Question: Hi Bob, what are the pro's and cons for balls that go farther down the lane and hit at the back-end? It seems that that's the reaction you would look for as opposed to grabbing the lane early and using up the energy before it hits the pins. thanks.

Answer: In theory this does sound good. But you really need a ball that hooks a bit earlier and is able to give you a read in the mid-lane and then have a continuous motion in the back-end. Without mid-lane read you will get a lot of over/under and that is trouble.
