New to the channel. I know you don’t say much but maybe a little about are you having to change your release a little as you move around the lanes. Thanks and appreciate the videos 👍

These to balls will pair good together I'm told correct? Which is best on fresh and dry? And what's best layout for lower speed like 14 15 and lower revs maybe 250 300 tops

The Summit is a much stronger (hooks earlier) ball and will hook more overall. I should have pointed out in the video that the Summit is lane shined - I’ve touched up the surface, but it was my go-to ball all summer and the Exponent was fresh out of the box, so they do look a bit closer to each other in the video than they really are. I would see starting with the Summit then as the lanes transition balling down to the Xponent.
As far as layouts go, I have a slightly faster ball speed (16-ish) and slightly higher rev rate (325-ish) and I’ve had great success with 5” pin to PAP to help the ball get a bit further down the lane and take a little bit of the flare away. With the slower ball speed, you’d want to look to pin buffers in the 2-3 inch range to slow the transition between the skid-hook-roll phases. I’d definitely have a talk with your PSO about it, he or she should be more familiar with your style and the house you’re bowling in.
