I'm about to get a Villian...
« on: November 27, 2008, 08:12:55 AM »
and here is the pic of the ball:

What kind of reaction would I expect to get out of this piece? About me, I have medium to high speed and medium to high revs. I am probably considered a stroker. My game is kind of like Chris Barnes'. Same style.

Thanks for the help,

Ricky

Some additional info that might help people better answer your question:
- PAP
- tilt
- rotation
- oil amount on which it'll be used.

Oh yeah, sorry about that. All I really know is that the ball would be used on a little less than heavy oil. So, probably true medium. And I am not sure about my PAP, tilt, or rotation. Sorry. So nobody would be able to answer this without that info?

Contact the user clovismaul. He drills my bowling balls, he's a great guy. Anyway, he loves AMF and owns a Villian. He could probably tell you.

No, it just helps to have more complete info to draw a truer picture for you.

Near as I know, the ball is ideal for medium oil for the average ball speed and rev rate bowler.
If your ball speed is on the higher side + a medium rev rate, it'll work on the lighter side of medium - medium-light, or you may have stand further outside and play a more direct line.
If your ball speed is medium and rev rate it high, it'll work best on medium-heavy oil or you may have to stand much deeper and play a bigger swing shot.

I've found that drilling with my PAP (5" over , 0 up/down) to be on the strong side: that is, decent length with good deal of overall of hook, but ball speed is slightly slower than average and my rev rate/ball speed is/was slightly higher than average. If your rev rate and ball speed match up fairly well, that drilling is a good general drill: enough length, good hook, plenty of pop at the backend, relatively smooth, not really snappy, depending on your PAP and other details, it can be a control drilling.

Sorry for the nasty spelling and editing. I wanted to get it out quick but I just re-edited for readability. And it is rather general. Depending on how far from average your release statistics are, your results may vary (YMMV). Pro drillers should be able to draw you a much better picture than I did.

Go to your driller and ask them about all the needed info Charlest described, heck, while your there, ask them yourself if this ball would work for your game.
