« on: March 02, 2006, 05:12:47 AM »
Is anyone here using 2 Actions in their arsenal? If yes, how do you have them laid out? Any surface changes?

Action - Polished - Drilled 5 X 5 over label, pin over ring finger. Length, and good finish on clean, or semi clean backends. Can use on any line, except deep inside, where it goes just a touch too long, to flip over and carry corners.

Action - Polished - Drilled 4 X 4 1/2 stacked, slight off center. Length, and stronger finish than above ball. Use on oily lanes, and carry down conditions from inside line.

Great ball. Smooth, consistent, and solid performance.
Thanks to JJ at Columbia for all of his help. Was contemplating an Action Packed, layed out like ball # 2, but decided to stick with one that was less skid / flip to remove possibility of over / under reactions of pearl shells.

Action 1 : 5 x 4 Pin above fingers , cg kicked about 2" hole on axis , 1000 grit high polish

Clears heads, revs fast, small amount of midlane, saves energy for decent move on backends

Action 2 : 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 pin below ring , cg kicked 2 1/2" , 1" x-hole on axis , 600 grit dull

Clears heads, revs quick, awesome midlane, continuous strong arcing backend

Action 3 : 4 1/2 x 3 pin 1/2" right of center of grip , cg 45 degrees from pin , just right of thumb, 1 1/8 x-hole 6 3/4" from pin through cg. Box finish

Just drilled this one for PBA pattern #5 this weekend. Practiced with it on THS.  Cleared heads pretty good, stood up in the midlane and had a HARD arc in the backend. Hopefully it will handle the 43 ft pattern the same way, we'll see.
