Title: How do you like your Mamba?
Post by: vadertyme03 on April 05, 2012, 01:49:03 PM
Purchased one. Have had it little over a month now and have tried it at a multitude of houses and results haven't really been that great. I don't remember exactly the drilling but I do know it was a medium type drill as I didn't want to drill it strong and have it puke on me and didn't want it really weak and overlap with other stuff I have.
Has anyone tried surface changes or anything? Just looking to see if I'm alone on this one...

What type of reaction were you expecting? From the video reviews I have seen (taken with a grain of salt, to some extent), this ball has a very mild reaction. It's definitely not a piece for playing coast-to-coast, nor is it a skid/snap piece. Those looking for a strong movement anywhere on the lane are best advised to look elsewhere.
But, how does the jersey look?

I knew it was a rolly piece, but I don't even seem to get a heavy roll out of it...

I love the motion but can't stand the look of it going down the lane.

Betcha dollars to doughnuts you're not using on enough oil.
It's a strong cover with a rough finish, on a medium-high RG core with good differential.
You need good head oil or higher ball speed/rev rate ratio.

I don't know how it's drilled, as I'm not that good with drillings. I do know I asked for it to conserve energy because most balls tend to roll earlier than intended for me. I have not tried any surface changes. That's why I asked if anyone else had to see if I had some idea of what to change to.

Well, surface is the first thing you want to take a look at. I think it's 1500 out of the box. I would try hitting it with a 4000 pad, or a T pad if your pro shop does the NEAT system, and see what happens.
Also, if you post a pic of the layout, and your PAP, we can at least guess what the drilling is, or be close.
