Title: drilling layout on 14lb
Post by: papachicken on January 28, 2004, 06:38:20 AM

Help- can anyone give me some advise on drilling layout for 14lb ball? I am currently bowling on synthetic lanes (amf, UGH!), my average has dropped from 216 to 206 in the last 6 weeks. No carry! 25 to 30% pocket strike carry, 55 to 60% 9 counts. Lanes are top hat shot with buff to 28-30 feet, shimmed from 4 to the gutter, no oil. I have ball speed of 16.5 to 17mph and above average rev,s 43/4 up1/2 pap. had to go to 14lb due to tendonitis in right elbow. i am leaving lots of 7 pins, and lots of 4's, and 9's. any help would be greatly appreciated! I am getting serious over/under reactions all the time!

I have been throwing brunswick products, inferno, blazing, and time zone all with no carry!

I own the 9 count!

Are you right or left handed?  What you leave and how you leave it really determines what you should do.

Are the Brunswick balls you mentioned 14# or are you getting ready to buy a 14# ball?

If you're getting over/under, consider either getting something redrilled with the CG kicked out towards your PAP and/or adding a little surface to your benchmark ball and stay inside the oil line.  Don't try to swing it out to the dry.
