    Any full rollers bowl yet?

    I am one of the rare full rollers now a days. Just wondering if any other full rollers have bowled what they did and what did they use.

    I am under the impression that with all the new balls and their flare potentials that it would be extremely hard for someone to be a "full roller" bowler.

    I would appreciate If someone could explain how a bowler would be a full roller with today's equipment. Just curious

    Actually it is very hard to find a ball that will work for me. It took me 3 months of research to find the ball that I just bought because some just wont work. I have the privledge of having Robert Lawrence (who is a full roller and former pro) as a proshop owner here in Austin. My bowling balls have to be drilled upside down in order to keep the track off of my middle finger. In other words the pin is located 1-2 inches to the left of my thumb and the mass bias is 2-3 inches to the right of my ring finger. The track rolls perfectly between the fingers and the thumb.

    I am a left handed full roller, and I was able to play up the first arrow.....I used both a Shear Havoc, and a Sure Strike from LaneMasters.....I also had a Action Packed too, threw that some, but found the shined up balls reacted more at the end...
