Hook Set Drilling
« on: March 05, 2006, 06:27:40 PM »
Getting the Absolute Inferno next week and thought I might try a "hook set" drill.Is there different ways to drill to achieve this?
Any thoughts you guys have please let me know..

Depends where you want to use tha ball. Hook/set is normally good on dryer conditions, but can also work on oilier shots.
Try a 135° layout, with the pin right next to the ring finger, CG in palm and the MB on the track. Works ONLY with a low MB ball like the Infernos! A high MB influence could cause reverse hook or other strange things.

I have a TPC Player with such a layout, sanded to 800 grit (check my review there), and it is a nice ball for oily and later, slighty burned shots. You should get a strong midlane movement with a tamed-down backend, rather an overall arcing ball move. I find it easy to control. Does not look that spectacular, but the ball can deliver its revs in a nice and long straight path to the pocket, rolling through the pins.

Dizzy..Thank you for explaining that..I understand now.Sounds ideal for what I want..taming dryish backends.
One more thing..how do you tell a low MB ball?

Look at the RG rating. Anything lower than 2.5" is considered "low". The Infernos are surely low RG balls (especially the AI and the UI), their RG min. is 2.46" or so - the most center-heavy core Brunswick uses at the moment.

Dizzy -- You've mixed "low MB" and "Low RG".  Which did you mean?  --  JohnP
