Gonna be bowling in a tournament this coming Sunday and the guy likes to put out their own custom patterns, what would y’all’s plan of attack be for something like this? I personally think i’ll be sanding SOMETHING to try and get some movement but we’ll see.

Just wanted to share a personal achievement, been bowling in a scratch tournament that puts sport shots out for about 3 years now, haven’t made cut once till today, bowled the end of the year thing and i finally put my reps to work, had a very good line to pocket 1st 3 and just grinded the last 3 of 6 for a +48 overall on a 44ft 1:1 pattern, thank you coach for getting me where i’ve been trying to get to, honestly think my funk i’ve been dealing with has just been because i’ve been on nothing but the house shot and i just ain’t that killer on house and i’m fine with that if it means i can compete on sport shots!
I am practicing with the Phaze II. I've only ever thrown it one other time. I have never in my life bowled a 300. I've only got front 10 once. I just went 299 to 300 back to back. This won't happen in league or tournament but I'll take it!

Ball type recommendation question:
I bowl in a late league which starts after another league. For the first game or game in a half, I am fine to use Black Widow 3.0. I throw a bit more speed dominant and am definitely a 10 board up and in person (10 dumper or whatever Kyle calls it 🙃)
I have tried going to a strong/sharp ball (Equinox Pearl) for the 3rd game but I just end up leaving some ugly splits.
What is the appropriate ball change for a situation like this? I was thinking of getting a weaker ball (the OG Phaze II) but it's more recommended on fresh patterns. Should I go to just a weaker pearl ball? The solution might be to open up and play more angular instead of ball changing too. Open to suggestiosn. Thanks!
