MAJOR diff between VooDoo (one of my medium-heavy balls) and the Kick.
You should be able to use the Kick well on some fairly dry conditions, even without low flare drillings. It does have a high-ish Rg and is polished.
Heck, even with moe normal drillings and maybe some COntrol-It, it should work on many dry conditions.
- Since it is only a 1" pin, you could stack them somewhere in the middle of the span/grip for a 5"x5" or a 5.5"x5.5" with no weight hole.
- You could move the pin up as far it will go under the bridge to add some finger weight and a very slight increase in the RG.
- or you could barbell it, by putting the pin-CG line ont he line bewteen grip center and PAP, with the pin 1-2" from the PAP and the CG towards the grip center.
- or even do the "bullred" thing and put the pin on the PAP, with a weight hole just beyond the PAP. (I think it was bulled who uses this on his Barrage, a similar ball in theory to the Kick.)
If after trying any one of these or other drllings, a little Control-It can help as you well know.
(Whatever possesed you to try a VooDoo on dry? That is truly optimistic. Some ball surfaces cannot be made mild by any method or device.)
Good Luck. For people bold enough to use the Kick, I have heard of few failures for dry lanes, as long as the surface is polished enough to clear the heads.
