Recreational bowling in the local lanes is tough. Basically they use little lane conditioner and only for leagues or 9 Pin No Tap. Open play bowling, even with the weak ball, requires moving left to the ball return and using the 4th arrow to stay right of the head pin. I ordered and received a complete set of pads from 500 to 5000. Used 4000 on the pearl Reactive and 5000 on the Reactive ball. Much better! Thanks!!!
