Replied on Hey Coach Daniel Puerto Been bowling ...

Been bowling really well lately, ball roll/motion has been solid - outside of last night. Only thing that changed was a new pair of shoes. The heel/brake was messing with my timing big time.
Do you have any opinions on a “harsher” brake vs a “less friction-y” heel?
The KR on the left is what I got used to over the past year or so, it’s a leather heel. The right is the Dexter sawtooth.
Is this a “whatever works” scenario? Or any advantage to having the more harsh brake for delivery? I think I can get used to the sawtooth, I used to have it on a pair a while back, but otherwise I’m gonna modify the kr one to fit my new dexters.

Modified the leather heel I had to fit my Dexters for league last night. Made all of the difference, made some big shots when I needed to and I just don’t think I could have done it with the other heel. Thank you for the confirmation of the “whatever works for you”.
I remember hearing someone say a while back that to maximize power, high level bowlers typically want a pretty fast sole and a hard brake at the heel. I think that was always floating in the back of my head, curious to your thoughts on if there’s any merit to that.
