Title: full roller layout but not a full roller release?
Post by: chitown on April 08, 2009, 01:47:05 AM
What kind of reaction would a bowler get from a ball with a full roller layout if he doesn't use a full roller release?  I'm just curious.

Would it effect the track flare location?

A full roller drilling is used to reverse the track flare so that they do not flare over the thumb.  If your normal release gives you a track outside the thumb and fingers, then a full roller drilling will reverse your track flare and you will roll over the thumb hole.

I use full roller drills a lot but I suitcase the release. Ball tracks right between fingers and thumb.

I read that a full roller layout would produce a very controllable reaction if used by a semi-roller release.  I was just curious.  Thanks for the reply.

So you have a full roller release.  I've heard that a full roller release doesn't produce the carry that a semi-roller can.  I'm willing to bet that the newer more powerful bowling balls really help bowlers that use that type of release.

It will produce a very controlable roll because it puts the ball in a stable position.

That's the reaction I got when I threw my uncle's ball.
