Need some drilling advice..
« on: December 22, 2009, 05:43:11 AM »
I have a 15 lb storm vertigo that is on it's second drill. My pap is 5 1/2 over x 1/3 up. The ball is drilled 4 1/2 x 4 3/4 pin down with a 1/2 inch weight hole 3 inches deep 1 1/2 inches below mid line. The problem that I am having is that I am more so a medium speed bowler, and with this ball and how it is drilled, it obviously flares quite a bit and roles nice, but snaps on the backend. Adding some surface does help but then it doesn't quite role right on any decent amount of oil.

Since I can't really sell this ball because of the second drill, I was thinking of plugging it and putting a different drilling on it. I still want it to be pin down, like a 5 x 5 1/2. What other drilling suggestions would you guys recommend? I have a deuce that is drill 4 1/4 by 4 1/2 pin next to ring, weight hole 4 inches over on mid line. I want this vertigo to be slightly stronger over all in the oil as the deuce roles nice and smooth.

I have around medium revs and can vary axis tilt and rotation.

If you can do that no need to redrill it. Redrill won't help much.
If you can do that You can throw any ball with any type of layout

Yes, that may be the case, but this ball is very flippy with its current drill. There is a different between a 4 1/2 x 4 3/4 with a weight hole and a 5 x 5 1/2 with no weight hole.

Plus, my x-factor deuce has the accu-tread cover stock where as the vertigo has the SFA solid reactive which is a lot stronger than the accu-tread.
