I realized today that i very rarely have the opportunity to truly see what flying back ends r like anymore.  Today i went out to bowl & the back ends were clean enough to eat off of, im talkin NOTHING out there.

I tried everything i had, a dull total inferno stayed somewhat controlled off the break, but died b4 it got to the pins, my lanemasters world class hit the dry & took a u turn to the pocket, worked great, but gave me absolutely zero area.  My doom took a HARD left, & i couldnt play right of 18 with it at all.

The only ball i had that stayed somewhat tame was my smokin inferno, 5.5" pin to pap, with a flare reducing weight hole.  I cant get this ball to wrinkle half the time, & i could somewhat consistantly play 15 to 5 with it without too much over/under.


Is there anything anyone can suggest for taming flying back ends?  My only thought was a mammoth, drilled with the pin about 5" to pap, under fingers, with a ton of polish on it.

Any other ideas?

I like AKA's suggestion.  Pin-axis drills are designed for exactly that condition.    I wouldn't go with long pin distances as they tend to give length and backend reaction.  I think shorter pin-to-PAP distances would work better.

Try big pin (4-5) pin high above ring,
CG will end up negative. MB will be in the track.
Ball will mellow out the backs ! I combined this
from a ball I received from Tekneek, with a heavy
14 (I normally throw 15), Ball was 14# 9 OZ after
drill.
