Will the Rattler fit in my arsenal
« on: January 23, 2009, 02:05:05 AM »
Alright guys, I have purchased a Rattler, and I am thinking it will fit right in my arsenal, but I would like some opinions on drilling it.

Arsenal:

AMF Mega Friction drilled Pin up out to the right of the ring finger
900 Global Maniac- drilled pin over ring finger @4000 with polish
Visionary New Breed Pearl- drilled pin over bridge for length
Brunswick Rattler- drilled ?
Linds Spare Ball

Will this work out and cover most conditions out there? Let me know what your suggestion for a drilling would be. I have just changed my style to staying underneath the ball now, and a slower ball speed with more control. This has increased my carry percentage and rev rate. My start out line on a house shot is standing with my right foot on the middle dot and laying the ball on the second arrow to start. Then I move in from there.

IME the Rattler has a broader matchup range than the previous releases in the "performance series."  I'm finding that I can get a good look with the Rattler anywhere from the first arrow to the fourth arrow.

I went with my favorite benchmark layout for the Rattler, and it's given me a predictable reaction.  So when you discuss drilling options with your pro shop operator, you may want to suggest your favorite layout as a starting point.

Let us know how it works for you!

I drilled mine Rico and love it that way.
 
It appears that everything you've got is drilled pin above fingers, so I would suggest a pin below fingers layout. The Rattler gets easy length, so by going pin below you might have something different. Another good thing is that when it finds friction the pin below layout tends to be more predictable.

I really don't think you can go wrong with the Rattler unless you drill it too weak. Good luck.
