Time Zone
« on: March 30, 2005, 09:48:19 PM »
Below link is the drilling layout of my Time Zone.. anyone can provide me with the information drilling? I got this ball from my friend.

I find this drilling a bit too agressive for my style.

Should I get a ZC for med to light conditions since it's a pearl and drilling less agressive.

*I'm a lefty, forgive me for such poor quality.

Got my Time Zone on the league last night, I realise that my time zone don't really like long patterns.

Just skids far too far.

I thought my time zone have already been dulled. Looks rather dulled when compared to NIB time zone. LOLs.

The PSA at 45° should give you a really sharp reaction on medium to light patterns. It is a strong layout with a clearly defined break point.

But maybe it is too much for the conditions you play on? If it is too snappy you can buff it down, but the ball will react earlier. The result could be a more controllable, smoother reaction. But the downside is that the ball will grab stronger onto the lane. On light oil it might lose power and end up dead at the pins. Suing a grey pas will get you to about 800 grit - this is the surface of the BVP Nemesis which ahs also the PK 18 coverstock, and this is an oil ball!

On the other side, you can try to have your ball polished bacj to NIB condition. This would be the reverse effect, but when the ball works too strong on your oil pattern, maybe more length through a slick ball surface will get the ball down the lane through the light oil and make it react later, but maybe even more snappy, with a harder break point. Might also be not a good solution, you might lose control and need speed and revs to get the ball into action.

Last ditch might be re-plugging the ball and have a weaker drill installed. Dunno if this was an option, but could be last resort if any coverstock perp does not work right?

I do NOT recommend the ZC as an alternative. The ball is great, but it will react even stronger than the TZ. Maybe a BVP Punisher could be an option?
