power swing :{
« on: June 12, 2009, 06:40:34 AM »
I drilled this ball up with my favorite layout, which happens to be pin undr bridge, which is roughly 4inch to pap, i had extremely high hopes for this ball. unfrotuneatly it did not deliver, at box it hit like a wet noodle so i decided to shine it to get some pop, well tht turned it into a plastic ball, so i took 500 to get the shine off and then too 1000, more wet noodle, anyways i took it back to 4000 and it is my dry lane ball, has anyone else had a problem like this

Sounds like a match up problem to me. Have you tried it on other shots, patterns, lanes, ect.

Where is the cg located? You may have drilled it too strong. The reason it hits like a noodle is the balls losing all it enery before hitting the pins. You may want to take some finger, thumb, or side weight out of the ball before you get rid of it.  Just some suggestions.

First off, you need to try it on a couple different patterns first, before you give up on it.

Secondly, I don't know if it has an assymmetric core or not, but I have had a couple of asymmetrics drilled pin under the ring that rolled DOA, for some reason. Any other drills, these balls are money.....but the pin under ring,for some reason just doesn't suit those balls very well.

I used it at a demo days on 2 different patterns.  It did not match up for me.
The ball just did not move off the spot.

Having 0 statics across the board may be the problem.  Try drilling the fingers or the thumb deeper to put some finger or thumb weight in the ball. I once had a V2 with the same statics as your Power Swing and it didn't work for me. I hope that works.  The Power Swing is a good ball.

Mine was very smooth for me and I liked it when nothing else would work but not the other 80% of the time. Mine was pin in the ring finger. But a couple other people threw it and it rolled great for them so I sold it to one of them. Just didn't find enough use for it.

Mine also, the first time I used it, oob, the ball moved well, was playing on the medium heavy side of oiling... But now, the ball doesn't seem to move that good or as well, as compared to oob, while only using it for about 20 games.
