Anyone going with 90 degree drillings on their assymetricals?
« on: December 09, 2005, 01:45:28 PM »
Is anyone going with 90 degree drillings on their Zone assymetricals?  If so what are you finding?  Late and sharp? Late and smooth? Let me know.

I did that on my Red Pin Classic Zone.  Long and smooth, but that may be a nature of the coverstock on the red pin plus putting the pin at 5.5" from my PAP.  No flip no matter how much I torque it.  Great for controlling toasted backends.

Did this with a lightly polished Impulse zone. Pin under ring, p.s.a. at 90 degrees with an x-hole on the v.a.l.

 Ball works great on fresh and really wet/dry's. Likes to have you put a lot of hand in it without it going nuts. Very consistent reaction. I would do it again.

P.S. As a matter of fact, I've been thinking a classic zone set up this way might be good and was thinking about trying that.

Someone suggested i put the PSA at a less strong position to tame my over reactions that i tend to get bowling on my leauges THS. My ball hits 10 reads and hooks... i have yet to try it out though, i have a impulse that i may try it on, only problem is it will put a plug in my track.

90 degrees...implying pap to pin and pin to mb is 90 degrees puts for me the mass bias under thumb or slightly negative side of thumb near track.

Haven't done it as they say not to.  Put Impulse Zone mb on strong.

Strong stuff.

I have put some weaker mass bias rated balls with mass bias negative...Don't like it!  Too long and then bump!

REgards,

I have a Shock & Awe drilled with the pin above fingers and the MB at 90° (next to my thumb hole). Even though it is just Activator+, has a single buff compound finish and the MB is higher/stronger than in the asymmetrical Zones, this position is STRONG. My S&A breaks HARD, much like a SI, after about 35' down the lane. Killer back end. Very edgy. Corner, not arc.
I suppose that a VZ with Rough Buff finish is a touch smoother, but it will certainly turn harder than an AI with tha same setup and show a tremendous back end reaction.
