PF, I've been on this site from almost the beginning, more than 3 yrs. I've stated my credentials on here more than a few times. You've just arrived here. I don't/haven't see any credentials from you.
But, I don't care what your credentials are, because they don't matter to me. I just go by what you say, that's it. I don't care if you're a 160 average bowler, if you say something that makes sense, then I'll agree with you.
You see, I use my brain to figure things out. I don't just go by what someone says, I'll experiment and prove it, right or wrong. Everything I've tried to teach you guys about weights has all been experimented with, tried and proven, by myself. My statements also coincide with the laws of physics. It's not my fault that you guys don't know/understand physics.
Like I explained earlier, a ball rolled perfectly forward, in a 6 o'clock to 12 o'clock motion, no side rotation, with the core and ending CG 6 3/4" from the axis, will just roll end over end all the way down the lane. The ball won't hook, can't hook and doesn't hook, it just goes straight, all the way down the lane.
So, are you going to say the ball is going/sliding long..? No, it's rolling early and it's rolled out, right from the get go..!!
Now, you take the same ball rotation, but now you have the core on it's axis, and the ending CG/weight on your axis/maximum side weight. You will see the ball hook some, because the weight is on the side of the ball.
Because you see the ball hook, and the other one with the core going end over end not hooking, you think the ball with the core/weight on it's axis is hooking earlier.
Visually, yes it's hooking earlier, but technically it's not..!! It's going longer and hooking, while the other one is rolling earlier and not hooking at all.
You see, what you see is not always the way things are..!! =:^D
