	Personally I prefer lot's of oil (not dripping just lot's). I've
throwing 10th board (right handed) for ever and have no problem's adjusting
to oil. What I do have a hard time on is dry lanes. I've never been much of
a cranker/outside shooter, I lose all consistency.
	Is this just a personal problem or is their some method to help?
I also have a problem shooting across my body (7 pin). So I guess any time
I have to move the arm outside of a certain range my consistency dies.
