Good Ole' Brunswick
« on: September 08, 2005, 02:03:36 PM »
i was bowling in a new league in a new house, and started by throwing my lane #1 uranium, there was plenty of oil out there.

i just couldnt get it to the pocket at all.
whether it was revs, no revs, straight up or slightly out shot.
it didnt matter, i was using mostly side rotation.

i pulled out the trusty inferno and just started stringing strikes.
just a simple shot with the release coming up the back of the ball.

im glad i have something to fall back on when things get tough, but i also hope i didnt waste money on the uranium and H2O.

is it me or do brunswick coverstocks work better with some oil in the cover and slight tracking?

    layouts are in my sig links.

    i think the uranium is supposed to roll earlier, comparing layouts.

    maybe i should try releasing it with little side rotation like i did with the inferno.

    will side rotation on that kind of layout cause the ball to fight itself down the lane?

    LOL.. The pearl uranium is the same coverstock as the Inferno.

    So what you needed was a ball with a little more surface since the inferno is tracked up more than your uranium.

    so what if they are the same cover?

    they're drilled completely different.
    and the core is different.

    coverstock isnt EVERYTHING.

    drill layout is at least 50% of reaction characteristics.

    my question, i guess pertains to how different drills react to different releases.

    i guess ill have to find out over the course of the season.

    unless someone knows how the uranium's layout will react to a minimal axis tilt release, say... 15-20° (see link below)

    Nice try. Your original post was saying how you weren't having luck with a Pearl Uranium so you switched to an Inferno & suddenly it was great. You mentioned nothing about drilling.

    I think your subject line "Good 'Ole Brunswick" says it all. Your implication was that the Inferno was somehow better than the Uranium.

    As far as that layout goes, I personally have not had luck on layouts such as that while coming up the back of the ball & litle tilt. With the CG kicked out  like that & the balance hole in a position similar to yours I found a pearl reactives to be a little over under. But not in the normal "pearl" reactive way. It would begin to roll up much earlier than I expected one time, and the next time make it's move later.

    Again, YMMV (your mileage may vary) I'm sure a good portion of my issue with it was an inconsistant release & I have no idea where your PAP is in comparison to me.

    I myself feel cover is around 65% to 70% of reaction maybe more or less depending on core strength but no way is drilling ever 50%.

    i really dont have a defined PAP.
    im able to change releases based on lane conditions.

    i have 4 releases that i use.

    "no" axis tilt (spares, little revs, straight & fast)
    i dont think 0° axis tilt is possible on a consistent basis

    little axis tilt (15°?) (start roll earlier, up the back release)

    "half way" axis tilt (45°?) (seems to work well on carrydown, smooths out over/under for me)

    "full" axis tilt (75°?)(more side rotation, more backend, long, snappy shot)

    so, you could say my PAP changes frequently.
    so would this mean the x-hole could be neutral, flare increasing and flare decreasing based on different releases?

    I say throw the ball, and be comfortable know that you wasted your money on a blem... lmao, those lane one balls.

    I noticed both of them are leverage while the inferno is pin above ring. So yea, i guess leverage drills dont work to well for you. Just an assumption...

    my danger zone black is a leverage drill, just cant see the hole in the pic.
    i threw my first 279 with it first time out.
    i can already eliminate that assumption moe.

    im not looking for an argument here, im looking for answers.

    why did my early rolling layout on the uranium not roll early?
    why did the inferno's length drilling work better?

    the oddest thing is... the pattern was long!

    the only reasonable answers so far are:
    tracking on the inferno.
    or
    changing my release when i changed balls.

    what kind of release works best on long patterns like that?

    Dude take the links out of your sig, thats ANNOYING! Its all the same info that is in your profile. Thank you.

    Maybe it rolled to much, and was doa. The inferno saved it movement for later, cleared the heads, gave a late midlane read, and still had energy on the back end.
