layouts 3-piece balls
« on: February 18, 2007, 10:32:52 AM »
While bowling in a tournament today, I noticed that the proshop had a red perl hammer for sale. I bought it as I generally throw plastic in my home house and would like something just a touch stronger.

At any rate, I started to think about the layouts we used to put in balls back in the day. The obvious is messing with statics on the label, but there was also Axis, and Leverage.I swear there was one other, but it completely escapes me at the moment. I think it was called Block Leverage, but I can't recall what it did, or how it was drilled. Can anyone give a refresher please?

Yeah, sorry about the 3-piece vs 2-piece thing. I bought the newer 3-piece Red Pearl Hammer (made by Ebonite) this weekend, but my original RPH was the 2-piece made by Faball. That's what lead into my questioning my memory of old layouts.

See my memory is what is failing me (no surprise there ). I specifically remember having a Black Rhino with the Block layout, but I recall the BR being 3-piece, and I can't recall the Block layout at all. I want to say it rolled early but did not have the turn Leverage gave you. So it could very well be the layout you mention.

I'm just trying to prove to myself that I am not nuts... In the immortal words of the Princess: "Help me Obi-wan Kenobi, you're my only hope."
