Chris,
I don't believe that there has been ANYTHING stating that spin times = higher scores?!?!?!?!

So that correlation ISN'T valid. So why are you hanging your hat on what Dynothane says. Once again, I don't think anywhere did it say that these balls are better and will make you score better........

I think they emphasize that it makes it easier to "fine-tune" a balls drilling for an exact reaction on certain conditions easier......but..........

ON EDIT: From the MoRich site: Looks like I'm on the right track...
Knowing the location of the mass bias greatly increases the ball driller's ability to create the desired ball reaction for every bowler by accurately marking the correct layout for each ball chosen.

The mass bias location can then be used along with the pin to accurately and reliably lay out a bowling ball to obtain the most appropriate reaction for a bowler.

Funny, ...I don't see any claims to higher scores here ?!?!? Do you ??

Here is an exerpt from Phil's quote that you posted
quote:

We do not see any credibility or correlation between the spin times and improved scoring.


Well, based on what I just posted, there are NO CLAIMS of that!! So where did this quote get it's info ?

Chris, your missing my point, again...

You want to quote Phil saying that spin times don't equal higher scores! Well, I'm saying, NO ONE is saying that, and I supported that in my last post and won't do it again.

NO ONE SAYS spin times = higher scores!  That is my point.

quote:
Look up at this very post. Clearly there is the suggestion that a ball's core strength (and even the ball itself?) is very much a factor of spin time.


Yes, this may be the case, but it DOES NOT EQUAL HIGHER SCORES, never was said or implied!

quote:
Once again, if these numbers are important to you than by all means pay attention to them. I will stick with the old standby - reading reviews.


I'm not going to say they're "important" to me....I have a Track piece and a MoRich piece and I like them a lot,...the rest of my stuff is Roto Grip which I love!  So, I like varied stuff.  Personally, it's too technical for me, but I'm not going to "shun" it so to speak.

Old stand-by, reading reviews ?? Hmmmmmm
