Got Twisted???
« on: December 14, 2007, 02:54:58 PM »
Got my Twisted today from Buddies and got it drilled up tonight.

Got to throw one game with it, did not learn too much, no warm up and too many strikes.  Thought the layout was interesting, I said I wanted more length and angle than any of my other balls; not sure I saw that but synthetic THS that was fairly fresh and I don't think it was a good match.  If I got it in, it seemed to hold fairly well and carry a lighter hit, when I pitched it out it screamed back.  Seemed to hit pretty hard, would like to see it on a little drier or shorter pattern.  Potential is definitely there, I will know more when I get a chance to throw it more.  Looks great going down the lane.

It hated my link, I think it was the @ symbol, so you'll have to copy and paste.

FYI my PAP is 4 3/8" x 7/8", throw 15-17 mph, with medium revs and moderate tilt.  Preferred area is feet at 35, 17 at the arrows, and 8 at the breakpoint.

Big J:
you need to remove the "mailto:" at the beginning of the URL.
BTW: the Twisted Fury looks very "red"...

I tried to fix that link, but I think it hates the @ symbol.  The ball is very red on the drill side.  The other side has more silver and black.

That seems to be a classic "force the ball to skid/flip" drilling for a mass bias ball. What is it interesting to you?

From your description, that is precisely what you got. I'd say the pro shop did a great job.

I am new to trying to understand layouts.  The thing that interested me was the pin almost directly above the bridge, I was expecting it to be a little more to the right of the ring finger.  Like I said, I am a noob so I was probally wrong in my assumption.  I have no problems with the pro shop and I am certain he knew what he was doing.

I will say reaction wise, that I did not see too much flip out of it.  It went longer than my Smokin' does, which is good because that is what I wanted, but I did not see the increased angularity.  I also don't know how much of that was the oil pattern, which was a lot more oil than I normally throw on, both length wise and wider across the lane.  I am hoping to make it out again this weekend to throw it more and hopefully try some different lines.
