Impulse Zone Lay out.
« on: January 07, 2005, 05:57:54 PM »
So i picked up an impulse zone for no apparent reason... other than being a ball whore and wanting to try one out.

So im kinda stuck on how to drill it now.. i have a ball drilled to skid snap, storm recharge, and a HRPS cg under ring finger and is very strong for me.

How would i want to drill the impulse zone to fight in and not over lap with my current equipment. Looking at the available layouts that came with the ball i was thinking something like 3 or 4 would do it.  3 is the drilling most similar to my HRPS.

Upon further reading it seems that my HRPS and the impulse zone are pretty similar, but the zone is a asymetrical core ball.

Suggestions, im in no real hurry to drill this ball up either its been sitting in my room for a few weeks now.

Ball specs...
15lb impulse zone
2.3lb top weight
2-3in pin.

How about pin 5"ish from axis, mb on val.  Kind of a hook set reaction, used this on my Time Zone, really nice with great carry.

Moe,

I am fairly certain that the Hot Rod Pro Stock and the Impulse Zone are no where near similar. The Impulse is not only a particle solid, it is also Activator based. That makes it virtually an oiler, whereas the Hot Rod, even though it uses the Monsoon coverstock, is a highly polished solid with a low flaring core. The Impulse should be able to handle atleast 1 degree or level  more oil than the HRPS, even if you drill it relatively weak.

In fact, I think the Recharge, the HRPS, and the Impulse will make a damned fine arsenal. While you do have to a little cautious how you drill asymmetric cores to make the best use of them, I wouldn't worry a lot.

I'd seriously suggest that you post this question in the Brunswick forum; there are some good people there, much more familiar with the Impulse and that asymmetric core. I think you'll be happy with their suggestions.

Moe -- I wish you had asked for opinions before you bought the ball.  From the info in your profile, I would have recommended investing instead in practice and coaching.  --  JohnP

Gulp! 155 average?
Guess I jumped the gun on that one. I would have done the same, JohnP.

Moe, do yourself a favor and DON'T DRILL IT for a long while.

lmao... yea.  That average, its like a huge joke to me.  Just because well it is... for some reason i cant bowl for crap in my sanctioned leauge.  I bowl on a 2 man mini, in the same house on the same shot, and i average 20-30 pins higher.

I made a post about this in the misc section a while back, its very weird, i cant bowl for crap in leauge, if i get in jackpots its even worse.  My series last week 170-120(god knows how that happend)-184, the high games were 2 or more marks away from being 200 games, but that night my 10 pin shooting went to the crapper. Chopped a few 6pins and just made small mistakes that cost me higher scores.

I havent been able to practice as much as i would like work/school schedule and my poor leauge average is the result.  This is actually my first sanctioned leauge.

After leauge i can shoot consistantly 180-200 games, i have yet to figure out my problem, during practice i can light it up... as soon as it counts its all in the crapper.  

But hey im clutch so my team doest matter, setup man before the anchor.

Charlest: im aware that the coverstocks are different, one of the main reason's i picked up the impulse zone, but some of the RG numbers and diff numbers are pretty similar.
