Blazing Inferno - how to drill
« on: September 23, 2004, 05:31:15 AM »
I just won a Blazing off Ebay to replace my slayr that got damaged. I had the SlayR drilled with the pin above and between the fingers and the CG underneath. If I drill this the same way, what kind of reaction should I expect? This is for a dry condition, outside line.

My driller said the other day, it's a pretty straight ball no matter how it's drilled. So for dry lanes it great, but won't move alot, unless you have alot of hand in it.

Me, I like to drill two holes for the fingers and then put a hole a little over 4 inches underneath the space between the fingers for my thumb.

You know what gets me excited?

Aces rolled up over kings on the flop.


Hey, that's an idea...  Maybe toss one about 5 inches to the right of those 3 to make it more even...

It's kind of hard to read the lanes if you don't know their language...

Disregarding the last two posts, There is a lot of confusion concerning this ball. I've read all the reviews, and more than half of them say that it goes long and has an angular backend, and the rest say that it goes straight as an arrow. I got it cheap, so if I made a mistake, it wouldn't hurt so much. Hopefully you guys canhelp clear the confusion.

I'd expect that the Blazing will start hooking about three to five feet sooner than the SlayR, and be *much* stronger off the dry.  IME the Blazing is about three to five boards stronger overall than the SlayR.

Also, I can use the SlayR to go straighter on a condition with a dry track.  The Blazing has *no chance* on this kind of condition unless I can get my feet to the left and send it to the dry.

Hope this helps.
