If you were to take several balls of different types and differing weightblock, all being symmetric, and drilled them all with the same pattern, could you expect the same basic reaction type from them?

I know that reactive would go longer than particle, and that pearl would go longer than solid, I just wonder if you would get the same basic characteristics from them?

The reason I am asking is, when I threw 14lb stuff, I had a granite gargoyle drilled 2 1/2 X 0. It was HIGHLY polished and was as smooth as glass. I could play the track area all day and never have it burn up or over react. As long as I could keep my feet right of 25 and play a little belly with it, it was great, but from deeper inside it just wouldn't "get around the corner".

Now, I was thinking about doing this again with a 15lb ball, but I have been throwing ebonites lately and was wondering about the new smashtime. I was hoping to try to get the same reaction type from it as the gargoyle. Do you think this is possible, or do I need to just go back and get another granite?

That's a very close bet. You can't lose. The Smashtime is a great bargain for heavier oils.

You could expect the same basic modification from some other drill pattern. That is, it will be smoother than a more snappy layout for the same ball.

Just as can't take a smooth, even rolling ball and turn it into a skid-snap ball by putting a stacked-leverage layout on it, you can't put a smooth layout on a skid-snap ball and expect a super-smooth reaction. What you will get is something that's smoother than other layouts, though.

shelley,

So, what you are saying is, basically, yes. I understand you can't make a polished pearl reactive act like a solid particle, but, in general, this type of drill will "smooth out" the reaction shape of any ball it is used on, given it has a symmetric weightblock.

To repeat, this drill would smooth out the hard breakpoint of a pearl reactive some, but would serve to further smooth out the reaction of a particle even more than normal.

Hmmmm. Now I have to figure out if I can get a polished particle through the heads here, or if I need to go with something a bit cleaner, like maybe a light load particle pearl.
