Wood VS. Synthetics
木板道VS.纖維道
‘ Denny Torgerson


When bowling in tournaments, the lane surface is always important.
With all the synthetic surfaces installed over the last 10 years,
it is almost unusual to see a wood surface in a tournament.
Bowlers who are seeing wood for the first time may be surprised at
the way the ball rolls on wood versus synthetic. I want to give
these bowlers some characteristics of both surfaces to look out for
when bowling on the different lanes.

比賽時，因應不同球道面是非常重要的，近十年來球道的舖設，幾乎都以
纖維道為主，目前已經不常看到木板道舉行的大型比賽了。打慣木板道的球友
，對於球在纖維道的反應，可能會給嚇到！因此我想為這些球友們說明這兩種
不同材質的球道面特性，使其在面對這兩種球道時能夠有所依循。

On most synthetic surfaces, the ball will skid through the front part
of the lane very easily and retain its energy for the back end of the lane.
Occasionally, the ball does not come out of this skid quick enough,
resulting in late reaction and poor carry. The solution for this problem
on synthetics is usually either a slightly dull ball surface or a
stronger cover to help the ball start a little earlier. As play continues,
the front part of the lane may become drier as the balls pick up the
oil off the lane. If several players are using a similar line, this area
may become unplayable. The ball will grab too soon and start the weight
block transition too quickly, again resulting in poor carry if the pocket
can even be hit.

球在大部份的纖維道上，很輕易地就可以滑過球道前段，再把能量於後段釋
放出來。有時球還滑得太長，使反應時間過晚，造成不好的倒瓶關係。通常纖維
道上這種情形的解決之道，不是採用稍為霧面的球，就是換顆球面較強(咬板)的
球來使球的反應提早一些。隨著比賽的持續進行，前段的油量會因為球的吸附而
變乾，如果一堆人都打類似的線，這個區域就會變得非常難打。球會一下子就抓
住球道面而使球心的作動太快，即使打進了1,3口袋區，擊瓶效果也會不好。

The worst case is when the front part of the lane begins to wear and the
midlane becomes slicker. This often happens on synthetics and it is
difficult to get the ball to continue the ball path to the pocket.

最糟的是，當球道前端的油層被破壞，中段變的油膩不堪，這種在纖維道經
常發生的情形；一旦出現，光是把球打進1,3都會很難！

The solution to this is to use a different ball path through the front
of the lane. In other words, when the heads dry up on synthetics, the
bowler has to move their feet to find a diff00ock is then used when
the bowler has to move from the original line, because when the bowler
moves into more head oil, the ball may not come back to the pocket.

解決的辦法是另外找線通過球道前段，易言之，當前段變乾時，球員得找條
新路線，使球保持適切的滑行，有時換了線後，還可以使用更咬板的球，因為一
旦前段油量充足，球甚至還會彎不回口袋區。

Carrydown can also appear at the back end of the lane quickly on synthetics,
even though this carrydown is in a very small area. When this happens, the
ball choice has to be either a stronger coverstock or a drilling with a more
angular ball path into the pocket. Take a look at Diagram 1 for a depiction
of this problem.

纖維道上，球道後端的油後帶(Carrydown)也會很早發生，雖然它只在一個很
小的區塊上，此時不是換顆球面較強的球，就是採用球進口袋區的轉折較圓的鑽法
。(見圖1)

The main point I want to make is that when the lane starts to hook too much
for bowler’s rev rate and speed, it’s time to make a small move to be able
to use a slightly different ball path. If the same ball path is used even
with a weaker coverstock, the ball will not roll properly and carry suffers.
Also, until carrydown occurs, smoother reaction balls are usually chosen. I
like 45 and 25 -degree layouts on synthetics for most of the bowling session.
Once the lane becomes too worn, a 60 or 75- degreelayout may have to be used
the make the ball continue to the pocket at the pins. There is usually more
skid/snap on synthetic lanes, and a black and white spot (dry boards next
to very slick boards) may often appear.

我想說的重點是: 當球道狀況改變，球員的轉速及球速使球開始彎過頭時，
就是稍為移動進攻路線的時候了！如果不換線而採用較不彎的球，因為球的滾動
時序不對，很難有好的球瓶關係。carrydown前通常用的是反應較為平順的球，我
在纖維道上大多數比賽中，球都採45 及 25度的開法。一旦前段變乾，60或75度
的開法，比較容易使球繼續保持在1,3進點。球在纖維道比較有滑得深 /切得急的
傾向。黑白分明 (幾塊很乾伴隨著幾塊很油) 的球道狀況經常發生。

Wood surfaces can be quite different. The front part of the lane usually
hooks sooner, and the bowler should divide the lane into three parts. This
would be the fronts or heads (first 22 feet), the midlane (23 to 40 feet),
and the back ends. The ball will not always follow a continuous curve to the
pocket on wood. It will start to grab early and then roll through the
midlane. It may then snap slightly on the back end, or produce a smaller arc
on the back end. Take a look at Diagram 2 too see what ball path a wood lane
may take. If a bowler has a slightly higher axis tilt on wood, it is usually
beneficial.

木板道則差異頗大，球道前段通常較為早彎，球員得將球道劃分為三個部份:
前段(前面22呎)、中段(23~40呎)及後段。木板道上，球會呈現出較持續的曲線，
較早咬住球道面而滑過中段，到了後段再稍稍急切。或者在後段跑出一段小弧線
(見圖2)。軸傾角稍大球員，通常打木板道會較為有利。

In the old days, forward roll was often king because even when the lane dried
out in the fronts, the rubber balls would not hook too early to throw the
ball off the intended line of play. Now with the modern coverstocks, this
used ball path can become too dry to play and requires the bowler to move
slightly. It may not be as large a move as is used on synthetics and a
similar breakpoint as the original ball path may still be used for a while.

從前從前，正花 (forward roll)可說是王道的打法，因為即使球道前段沒有
油了，橡膠球(rubber balls)也不會過於早彎而偏離預設的路線。目前的球面材質
則會受到油層變化的影響，球員得稍稍移動路線。在纖維道上，已經無法向過去那
樣將球線及轉折維持得那麼久，而不需要作任何的改變。

To make the ball recover properly on the back end in this situation,
the bowler may have to switch to a ball that has flip characteristics
and/or use a 60 or 75- degree layout. Higher rev players often dominate
on wood because their natural game is a ball path with a strong back
end. Once a little oil carries down. The higher rev playercan move
deeper where the head oil is plentiful and still make the ball come
around the corner with a bit of control. The stroker may have difficulty
with today’s environment on wood after transition because if the ball
path is changed too far, there are not enough revs to carry or even hit
the pocket. This is why the modern good tournament bowler has a straighter
game and what I call an opening up game to handle the different transitions
, even on wood.

在這種情況下，為了使球在後段能夠適度反應，球員得換顆較具翻轉特性的球
，使用60或75度的開法。高轉速的球員通常掌控了木板道，因為他們的球尾本來就
比較強，一旦後段拖油，他們稍稍往左移動，只要前段還有油，球線還是可以穏定
掌控。轉速稍慢的小角度球員就比較難以因應木板道的油象變化，因為如果球線走
得太外面，他們的轉速就不足以使球彎回口袋區。這就是為什麼目前一些比賽型的
好選手，通常先採用較直的進攻路線，再以由內往外的開角度路線來因應不同的球
道變化，即使在木板道上也是如此。
