Brunswick Ball and Layout for CarryDown
« on: October 16, 2005, 11:09:56 AM »
Greetings.  

What's a good Brunswick ball and layout for carrydown and burned up heads?

I'm thinking BVP Punisher, drilled 3L or 4L?

I've got an AI with 2L, and a UI with 1L and neither carry consistently when the heads burn out and the oil carries down.

Medium to High revs.
Medium to High speed.

Thanks in advance.

I got an absolute that I polished and drilled a pin under fingers on the centerline and the cg kick out 2" weight hole down about 1-1/2". What this ball does is clear the fronts well for me and rev in the midlane to combat the oil down lane.

The Punisher can be risky - a friend's one does not work well on carrydown. It is a good dry lane ball, but with oily spots, it is unpredictable.

I'd wait for the new BVP Ambush - it is particle pearl. Quite strong, but it has particle traction that will let it go like on tracks. But it could still be too much surface if you are battling dry heads and a generally low oil level.

If you can find one, a solid reactive Power Groove (Teal/Purple) could also be an option. It is 800 grit OOB, but the coverstock is very tweakable and should give you a controllable read, better than a peral ball.

Well there is really no such thing as carrydown, unless everyone is using plastic balls. With today's technology oil doesn't stay on the ball long enough to create carry down. You can see this if you just walk down the lane after bowling some you can see that there is virtually nothing down the lane, at least not enough to effect ball reaction. There is really no way to beat "carrydown" the only thing you could do is either move until you find oil or if you do not want to do this I suggest drilling up a power groove (pin below middle finger CG kicked) or maybe the rampage pretty weak (maybe something with pin above ring finger CG kicked). I have found that the punisher is kind of squirty sometimes. Just my opinion from experience

There's carrydown when you follow high school bowlers
I used a Warp Zone drilled max leverage and it really cut thru the carrydown like nothing. Try that layout with an 800 grit finish...

When you are done bowling, walk down the lane and look at where the oil pattern is finished. Now look at the so called "carrydown" you see. Unless everyone on your lane is throwing plastic balls the oil on the backend is so inmaterial that it will not effect your ball reaction. What is happening is your ball is losing all it's energy in the front part of the lane and doesn't have anything in the back. Before you get back on here and post, actually walk down the lane and look!
