Cranker had the best reaction on the heavy oil condition with the box finish. He used a line that kept his Graffiti I-Con in the oil as long as possible to help it retain energy and hit very hard at the pins. His adjustment was different than usual as the track started to hook. When he tried moving more left and going around the lane, his ball lost a little bit of hitting power. Instead, he moved his feet and target farther right and rolled up the back of the ball more. Crossing fewer boards allowed the dull box finish to retain more energy for the pin deck.
