High track drilling.......is there a difference?
« on: September 10, 2007, 01:27:44 PM »
I am getting a Neptune for drier lane conditions, I read that "length" pattern may not be good for high trackers. My question is: what's the difference in ball motion in these 2 layouts:

(a) Standard: 4 to 4.5 in, pin from pap.

(b) Length: 5 to 6 in. pin from pap but with a weight/ balance hole to "increase" the flare.

As a high tracker with only medium speed, I am more concerned about my ball 'burning up"/losing carry at the backend.

How about length drilling, but with coverstock sanded to 800-1000; no polish?
How does that compare to standard drilling?( out of box is 1500 polished).

Which has more "total" hook on light oil?

Anytime you take a ball down in grit, it is going to give more OVERALL hook.  The problem with a lot of bowlers, they will see a ball that does all it's movement on the backend and think it is hooking more, but the dull lower grit ball just starts it's move earlier.  However if you take a ball down to 800 say for a light oil pattrn..it could definately burn up and by the time it gets to the back end roll out and hit like a 'malllow

I think I did not make it clear. I am trying to compare "sanded" "length" drilling    TO     "original polished" "standard" drilling.

Sorry for the confusions and thanks for your help!
