rampage......i dont know about this one
« on: October 13, 2006, 02:06:02 PM »
well i just drilled myself a rampage, from a friend for free, plugged it up. now its layed out pin 1 inch over the ring cg kicked slightly. i was looking for something to be really long, and give a decent move on the back. well, its really long, but it has the most un controlable backend reaction i have ever had, or seen much less. wtf, ive heard of backend but dam, if there is any dry this thing is not near the pocket, and if there is oil, it tames it a hair, but it is still impressive. i was standing as deep as i ever have, 45 with my feet, putting it to the 5 board, if i missed left, see ya, missed the head pin to the right, miss right, hello greek church. seriously idk what to do with this thing. could possibly be the most useless ball in my bag EVER, the day a lefty with decent hand(not a ton tho) can loft the cap to the ditch and miss the head pin right is a sad one, and that it was. its at 4000 right now, i didint want to polish it because i feared this reaction, any tips on what i should do to the cover? if your wondering why i posted this, well i am to lol, i guess it was just to say how amazed i was with this reaction! but i will say, not a single pocket went with any less than 10 pins, so i think if i could get this useable, it would be a great ball as it hits so freakin hard.
ill try and get a mem card for my cam and get a vid, evntually....

I know that my son has the same ball and he has no trouble with it. Of course, he is not putting as many REV's on it as you are. But maybe that is the problem, too many REV's. Try flattening it out a little and see what happens with it.

Keep me posted on how you do with it.

BOWLING IS FUN NO MATTER WHAT YOU SCORE. BUT A 300 IS ALWAYS NICE.

STRIKE ZONE & PYRO. STAND 15 AND THROW 10 OUT TO 5 AND SMASH THE POCKET. AT LEAST THAT IS THE PLAN OF THE NIGHT...

Dude, skid/snap ball drilled to flare and backend(assuming you have around a 5" pap), combine that with 375 rpms you get tons of backend, wha'd you expect?  The rampage has been touted over and again on it angularity.

I'd try adding some polish, but it probably won't do much good.  What does a lefty need with 400rpms anyway?

Had a high rev customer with similar reaction and we tamed it by hitting it with a green scotchbrite and then used Storm#1 polish (800) over it. Ball reacted much smoother

Put a flare reducing weight hole in it to tame down the back end. This would be the easiest thing to do and its quite effective. Check these links out. You may have to scroll down a bit.

well this is the pinical(sp) of angularity, literally 55 feet at the ditch and misses the head pin to the right, thats a TON more than i thought i would get.

well thats the thing, i dont try and rip the cover off of it, the more i have been concentration on getting out of the ball smooth and clean, the more i get on it, at the end of the day, i flattend out my wrist and played cap to 1, not the easiest line but i guess i always could use the practise.

well maby. i dont think ill ever see a shot that i need it on, but if i did it would be possible, and when i first started, i would have loved the hell out of this ball! looks awesome going down the lane and hooks alot? yes please lol

well i busted my finger up with this one today, not enough bevel on the ring finger. it rolled alriht today, aslong as it wasnt outside 5(flip like a whore zone) ripped my finger 5th frame, ended up with 234, then i had to switch to something else that felt better(black widow) and didint crack off much more than 2  low 200s. ah well, i went to the shop today, put in a huge grip in the ring finger, so i could wrap my finger with bio skin and skin patch. still got to bowl in an hour! bumped the cover down to 2000, we will see.........
