I have it drilled 65x5x30.....too strong and rolls too early to be used often. I was wondering how over /under it would be at 2000 polished

Of course it depends on your initial ball speed and rev rate, but the CFT coverstocks share one characteristic, that being a larger "window" of reactions available from coverstock changes.  That is, the same surface adjustment will yield a larger difference in reaction in a CFT ball as compared to a ball with a Propel or Activator cover.

I have  a 3.5 and it would roll out.  I would have weak pocket hits. Just for the hell of it I sanded to 4000 and polish the crap out of it. What a change for the better I was ready to sell or donate it but I will be keeping it now.

I have had some good success with it just need to put in the bag by the 3rd game still a strong ball for me, but i like it now.

 

17-18 mph

350 rpm

c.a.t.s. per kegel
