Suggestions on my new eliminator please
« on: May 05, 2006, 03:55:34 AM »
I will be picking up a nib wliminator soon and was wondering how I should drill it to compliment my other two! first one is pin under ring and cg kicked out about an inch and highly polished whiches gives me some good lenght and a nice backend. The second is pin under ring and cg kicked out about 3in to my balance hole and rough buffed. this gives me great early midlane and a controlled bachend reaction.
 
 Now my question is how to drill the new one I want to leave it about 600 sanded for heavy oil. I was thinking seeing how much I like the roll of the ball drilled pin under to just drill it pin under again and kick out the cg like the other two! Do u think the fact that its new along with it being a different surface 600 sanded, would this give a different reaction that would justify me carrying basically three of the same ball drilled pretty similar but with different surfaces.

I would vary the pin at least 1" left or right of the other two,...be brave.

When I drilled my Eliminator aggressive(3 1/2" to PAP, pin 1 1/2" above midline) it placked at the pocket no matter how thick the concentration of oil was.  It'd just flare out and dime just about 1 out of every 3 flush pocket shots.  I had much better success with plugging it and redrilling it 4 1/4" to PAP, pin 3" above the midline, and sanding it with a gold pad for heavier oil.  It still hooked and flared a ton, but finished alot better.  

I think keeping the pin higher off the midline is the trick to not having the ball be DOA at the pocket when drilling it aggressive.

I really like the roll I get from that pin position but! I have a really weird pap like fagans im about 3 1/2 over and about 1 up and like fagan my track circumference is still large. I was thinking maybe putting the pin under the middle finger or just to the left of it remembering where my pap is that should give me about a 4 1/2 to 5in pin to pap hopefully to store some energy in the ball.

How much oil can the eliminator handle in box condition?

Great ball! I am a huge Eliminator fan, and when I can get a NIB specimen around here, I'll store it away until my current one falls apart...

Back to the subject: OOB, the Eliminator handles medium to oily conditions, long patterns (check my review, I wrote a lot about the ball there, and check my profile for my style to make conclusions for your game). Only a true flood is IMHO too much. It has a Cerium Oxyde Trizact finish, which looks glossy but is not polished. The ball already has some good grip with this finish, and good length. It is IMHO an ideal ball for heavy oil carrydown and spotty, late games. It has a big potential, and the RG differential of 0.053 is one of the biggest Brunswick ever rolled out.

Opening up the surface only a little (1.500 or 1.000 grit) will make it grip much earlier, and it will handle a lot more oil. With your 600 sanded it hsould be na oiul monster unless you have no revs or cruise missile speed.
You will need head oil, since the ball will grip very well and burn out if there is not sufficient oil available.

If you want to use it on (much) oil, I'd recommend a leverage drilling, pin under ring, and the MB not in a stacked position, rather at 60° from your PAP. A 4x3 drilling, sort of. The ball is arcing by nature, and this drilling exploits this recation tendency IMHO very well.

Hope this helps.

Great ball!!
