FOr me the drilling nearest stacked always has the most continuation.  Or with mass bias right in thumb gives me a trememdous move.

Another way to ask the question is which drilling starts yielding the first 6 8s for me or the first 4 9s for you is the drilling that is maximizing the core.

Another thing is that I find certain cores give more continuation than others.

For example I don't find the fuze or silver streak cores to give a lot of continuation.  They reach a point make a sudden flip and then go pretty straight. Detour also!

Other cores like a Sledgehammer or Razor wire seem to not make such a sudden break and then they keep closing higher on the hole.  Also the Ego same thing.
Another that seems to do this for me is a Spell.  Also a Victory SPT.

Why some cores have more of this and other's have less I don't know.

As you know not necessarily always a good thing!

Ric,

While some drillings may seem to allow balls to be more continuous than others, overall, and on average, it has more to do with these factors than the drilling itself:

- ball's surface relative to the lane's oil amount and pattern,
- the ball's RG differential,
- the bowler's speed relative to their rev rate.

The closer the pin gets to the PAP and the closer the CG/MB gets to the PAP, the less continuous the ball will be, in general.

I think the general pictures is that it depends on how appropriate the ball is to the bowler's release and the oil pattern that is the ultimate determinate.
