Post by: Barbarian2990 on January 31, 2009, 02:55:59 PM: MAXXX Zone- 45-4-60
Wild Ride- 50-4 1/2-60 or 60-4 3/4-30 if u like more skid snap
Avalanche solid- 65-5-65

This should be good for just about anything. Also all the balls i listed are very smooth and drills are also set for that nice smooth hard arc Brunswick is know for.

not to be controversial, but if your rev rate is anything north of 300 (tweener, almost cranker) drilling anything with the pin to pap under 4.5" with those large cores will pretty much make the ball stupid strong, or flare out.

How are your 2 rattlers & Wild Ride layed out?

From your photo, I can see the pin/cg/xh on left rattler but can't on the center Rattler & Wild Ride on the right.

cheers

here are some better pics

the WR has the cg 1 inch above the thumb inline with the right side of thumbhole, mb below and right of thumb, x-hole. From what I've heared I may need to drill my second WR even stronger.

Rattler #2 has the cg below the ring finger in the center of span, no x-hole

Rattler #1 has the cg approx 2" right just above the center of span, x-hole

What is your PAP. Sorry but, without knowing your PAP, those nice pictures and explanations (with regards to your thumb and finger holes) simply have no meaning.

blackjack,
What is yours? Also your rev rate, speed, rotation? You should tell us more about your game if you want proper answers. One ball can be good medium ball for my style where it would be a dart and suitable for drier conditions for another.

Generally, for THS
Oil:
I'd go with Maxxx Zone. I'd adjust the surface around 2000 abralon for stronger releases.
Medium:
For stronger style, I'd suggest Rattler or polished Copperhead
For weaker hands, Ultra or Wild Ride drilled STRONG would be my choice
Dry:
Avalanche Slide

Regards,
Natal

How do you like your WR, Rattler#1 & #2? How kind of reaction do you get?
