How do I set-up my vicious attack?
« on: May 29, 2004, 02:11:21 AM »
I've seen balls with M.B. markings ( assymetrical ), but this one has an L.M.B. ( LOW MASS BIAS ) on it.  Is this the same as other balls mass bias markings, or is the LOW part of it make a difference?

  The pin is out 2 1/8in and it has almost 3 oz topweight.  I am a higher track player with minimal axis tilt, a 45 degree axis rotation, and 350-400 revs.

  Most of my other stuff is stacked ( except my granite gargoyle ) and stacked drillings tend to be "flippy" for me.  I also don't need a ball thats starts early, as I can do that with my hand and prefer it that way.

  I end up playing pretty deep ( 30-35 with my feet over third or fourth arrow- deeper if I have to is NOT a problem ). What I am looking for is a ball comes home hard without being too "snappy" on the backends.  Everything I have tried to do this with so far tries to check up early, then when I shine it, they go straight to "skid/flip" mode.

  I know this can be done, I've seen others do it.  My granite  is drilled with the cg on the pap with a pin distance of 3in.  A weight hole is drilled into the cg label, leaving 1/2 oz positive sideweight.  I get a reaction I love out of it, in fact I want a ball to be similar to this reaction, only stronger on the backend.  The granite is HIGHLY polished and is susceptible to carrydown.

 I know this is long, and I am sorry, but I know some of you guys can do this so, if you can help, PLEASE make some suggestions.  I used to work in a shop, so I can understand pretty technical jargon, if that's what it takes.

Thanks,
Darreyl

5 1/2" pin to axis X 3" MB to axis with the pin just over the fingers.

place the balance hole if needed inside the VAL.
