Mammoth and Ringing 10's
« on: January 12, 2007, 12:59:03 PM »
Hey all just got my mammoth and i love it its very predicible and it seems to hit good but i always seem to leave the ringing 10 and i usually have a good balance of revs and speed on my ball it just doesn't seem to want to carry and the thing is i seem to be hitting flush and driving through the pocket not deflecting and have the 6 pin lay flat it just seems to always wrap around. What adjustments can i make to my ball and my shot.

if u r consistentently leaving the ten just go to a weaker ball .the mammoth is burning up and doesnt have enough energy at the end to finish.

It's not the ball's fault you leave a ring 10.

Move back on the approach maybe 2 inches. This will get the ball more flush in the pocket and kick out the 10. Either that or move up on the approach if you feel like a light hit will carry better.

No such thing as a ringing ten. When the 6 shoots around the 10, your entry angle was not quite there.


IMHO it's called a ringing 10 because the 6 pin goes around the 10 (a half ring maybe) and into the pit.  Flat 10's are where the 6 pin goes into the flat gutter and doesn't come back out and half 10's are where the 6 pin goes into the flat gutter and barely makes contact with the 10 pin. Half 10's sometimes fall and other times they won't.

Move up or back on the approach....or what I would do, switch to a weaker ball.  Sounds like you are getting way to much angle of entry or the ball might be burning up....either of those symptoms would call for a weaker ball.

i've got a 6 ball arsenal and they all leave ringing 10's. it's very seldom the balls' fault that you leave a ringing 10. there are several explanations for the ringing 10's but the ball isn't usually one of them.

some good ideas in there to help out.  Not the article I thought it was...  somehwere I remember reading a detailed description of why they are left and adjustments to carry... maybe it was in a BTM article?

if its a ringin ten, its usually the entry angle to the pocket, if its flat it usually is the ball hitting weak due to loss of energy through the lane.

angle of entry and ball speed are the two usual reasons for a ringing 10. a bad rack can sometimes cause the ringing 10 where the 6 pin flies around the bottom of the 10 pin. the other type of ringing 10 where the 6 pin flies around the neck of the 10 pin is where there was a little too much ball speed or the entry angle was wrong.
