Maxx Zone question
« on: January 13, 2009, 01:47:00 AM »
I have finally get my maxx zone punched up and am very dissapointed in the reaction of this ball. I don't know much about drillings, but I do know that the ball came in with a 2 in. pin and 3 oz. top wt. The ball was drilled with the pin about 1 in. below and in between fingers. My rev rate is pretty high, (but never measured). So my driller told me he thinks this drilling would work for me since this ball is so strong. We had brought the surface up to 2000 plus brunswick high gloss. And what I'm seeing is that the only way this ball will make the turn is when it hits the very dry part of the lane. If I seem to tug it inside alittle into the oil, it just will not turn at all. I have a Total Inferno that is drilled to go long and snap hard. And it seems to work very well, but the Maxx just won't cut it. My question is, being that the maxx is an early rolling ball, can it be drilled for skid snap? Because that's what I wanted to begin with. But my pro shop guy said he didn't think I would be able to control it. But I think I'm going to have him plug it and redrill. And if that don't work, I guess I have a ball for sale. Sorry for making this so long.

DWP the post was not long, just informative. I just traded a Maxxx Zone with a similar if not exact drilling (pin under bridge). Not sure about your cg or weight hole, but I had a ball that would not turn over, and looked to be burning up. Try it at 4000 no polish and see if that helps. Pin under drillings are very condition specific, at least for me. I had a similar drilling on my 900 Global Bounty as well, and it would do the same thing. Try the surface change though and see what it brings, maybe 4000 will be your sweet spot!


I would have to agree 100%. Probly burning up in the dry

why would you buy and early rolling ball if you wanted a skid/snap reaction?

I wanted to try something different as far as reaction because everything I have is skid snap, and that's what I'm used to. I guess what I'm wanting is a little more angularity. Yes, I know what I was purchasing, I'm just not happy with the reaction. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has purchased something that they didn't like. I'm just here asking questions to try to save the ball. I don't want to give up on it, I'm just trying to get opinions.
