Sorry to hear about your bad experiences. I plan to bowl in this event next year in Reno. I hope I don't run into the same problems you faced. What time of the year did you actually bowl? I bowled in Vegas for the first time last March. I struggled with the approaches. How did you fare in the events after this tournament?
Roto grip cell, Brunswick ultimate inferno, Morich levRG response are a few I'd recommend, but all of the ball companies have good med-heavy oil balls. Base the decision on your ball speed and rev-rate. Low RG balls with a strong coverstock work great for med-lower rev-rates. Then talk to your ball driller about the right layout for you.
Nice video. Shows the difference between a house shot and tournament pattern. Just curious what your league average and the average in this tournament? Real honest video here. Thanks for uploading.
I average around 216 in my league and it varies in these USBC Open tournaments. This particular tournament was bad. I bowl in a small town with one house and they do not want to fool with a sport league. You cannot perform at peak if you never get to bowl on these patterns. In the past, I have bowl well on sport patterns when I was able to practice on them
You throw a nice consistent ball but I would go with an arsenal of agressive, mid-range and a spare ball, for sure, when going to the Nationals. I know from experience. Better luck next time!!
you only brought 2 Balls to a Nations tournament..well i guess i realized that was a big mistake..1 hint bring all ur equipment cause you never know what condition you will run into..good luck next time

It was 80, but their website is saying 78. they replaced the lane not too long ago maybe they only put back 78--I didn't even think to look while I was there.
Rural... I've never been but I was told by some friends who went the shot was harder than normal. I would just love to get the chance to go! Do better next time! :)
My hands swell every time I go to Reno, so that tough that night to get out of the ball clean. I've made some pitch changes a couple of weeks ago to help that problem

I just picked up a Storm Virtual Gravity and it seems to do really well on medium to heavy oil.

THere's a lane in the pro shop as well. There were originally 81 lanes, but the middle 2 were cut out for the mechanics so they had an extra walkway
