Title: Interested in the Twisted Fury....
Post by: VAbowler on December 04, 2007, 12:57:47 PM: I have low-med speed 15mph, rev dominant. I've had success with label leverage type drillings, that allow skid and moderate backend, for which my revs makeup for. I was thinking of a 1:30 drill on the TF, which is about 4 1/2" pin from pap, mb about 5 to 5 1/2" from pap, pin above and right of ring finger, left in box finish. I throw on a THS, pretty much stand left and throw out. I'm hoping this ball is a go to benchmark ball, that doesn't overreact, yet will create area so it will either hold when tugged or come back when thrown out. What about having the mb on the trackside, maybe just left of my thumb, about 6" from pap, cg in palm, and pin just right of ring finger. Any insights or experiences?

To quote BTM, "The Twisted Fury rolled great, no matter what finish we put on it."

I can personally attest to this fact as I've tried three different surfaces on this ball in about 2 weeks. All of them were quite good.

Post by: RSalas on December 05, 2007, 04:44:51 PM: Length as compared to what?

The cover on the Twisted is versatile, so you can alter to taste to get the length you require.

Title: Re: Interested in the Twisted Fury....
Post by: NappyCuts on December 05, 2007, 06:49:37 PM: The Shock & Awe uses the Absolute cover if I'm not mistaken. With this being true than the Twisted should be a bit longer than the Twisted.

Post by: VAbowler on December 05, 2007, 08:42:27 PM: Thanks for the info. I think I'll do a label drilling on the TF, with the pin right next to ring, maybe a little above. I'm thinking it'll help give length w/my slower speed, and give just a little flip to my already rev dominant style.

Post by: DanR on December 05, 2007, 11:03:14 PM: Is it true many of the TF have the wrong core? My pro shop advised the distributor had to send back all of his stock because the TF had issues

There's only one Dopey, Ric. We do have Hump and whatever they call me...

Post by: pop_1 on December 06, 2007, 09:13:01 AM: Ric, how does this ball compare to a Pearl Fury and the Super Nova XP?
Title: Re: Interested in the Twisted Fury....
Post by: pop_1 on December 06, 2007, 09:17:38 AM: quote:
Compared to the Fury Pearl-the FP is approx 5 boards stronger and a smoother shape.

What is the other ball you mention?

Post by: VAbowler on December 07, 2007, 07:39:58 PM: So back to the thread, a TF oob drilled label, pin just right and up of ring, mb on trackside is a good look for me throwing 15 mph rev dominant, playing deeper on a THS?
Title: Re: Interested in the Twisted Fury....
Post by: VAbowler on December 07, 2007, 08:14:01 PM: I guess I'm confused then. I had a Morich Shock & Awe with this drilling, it was smooth, again not a hercules backend; but w/my revs it would skid pretty well w/an arc. I had an AMF Triumph AMP as well, it would go long, then a hard arc. I've read this drilling promotes skid, and gives a medium backend, which w/my revs and slow speed, would match up. I looked at drilling instructions on the Brunswick page for the TF, it looks like a pin above ring finger, cg in palm, and mb on the trackside also gives this reaction. Any thoughts?
Title: Re: Interested in the Twisted Fury....
Post by: VAbowler on December 08, 2007, 04:10:29 PM: I feel like if I put the mb on the right side, it becomes too over/under for my slow speed/rev dominant style. I always thought a label drilling is a blend of medium length and medium backend. I'm hoping the oob rough buff will provide length, but some recovery too on carrydown.
