Asymmetrical Zones on PBA Tour TV
« on: December 11, 2005, 02:10:50 PM »
Even though the brunswick pros generally use the lastest Brunswick balls.  Why does it seem to me, that more are using Zone "asymmetric" balls rather that the Inferno "symmetric" balls?  Do the Zone balls match up better to tougher PBA lane conditions or ???

True story, i seen an ambush last week being used in practice. And tom baker broke out an intense today.

I think on the fresh or lightly played pattern they go with the assym equipment. Deff more versitale.

My experience is that when set up strong they provide more pure backend when the pros need to find the sparse oil in the heads.

Mike Scroggins could not have won without the strong mass bias effect of the strike zone....neither could have Machuga.

Traber lost because he didn't move to a Strike Zone quick enough.

My own personal experience with the TA is showing me that with todays low fricion lanes (Brunswick Anvilanes and some oil(without oil they are like sandpaper) the extra horse power supplied by assymetrics replaces somewhat the missing friction and gives one attack angle and hitting power.

I am on an absolute tear since gettting my TA on the old super hard Brunswick Anvilanes that I bowl on where I  couldn't carry anything for the longest time!

PS these assymetrics generate attack angle quicker than symetrics when drilled strong!  Often has been needed lately.  Note Scroggins with a switch to another company went assymetric in their line...Rule Delta.

but sometimes its good to have MB on the control side...
right?
i have an H2O (weak MB to begin with) drilled up slighty on the negative side.
and the ball is supposed to be used on drier conditions, and when the backends are flying.

with it layed out like that, and the lanes are drier, it will be relatively tame correct?

More important on today's oils and synthetics than ever and even more important for lefties as there is less friction on the lane surface for them for years on synthetics.

The core substitutes for the lack of friction on the left side!

REgards,

PS strong mass bias is half way from thumb and to pap.  About 2 inches or 1 1/2 inches from thumb towards PAP.  Awesome!

I hate people who use initials for everything.  Did I say TA?

I mean Total Annhilation...(It's true).
If TSA is stronger than this....I don't need it!
