I just noticed after having a ball for a couple of years that the bowtie migrates. It seems that the opinion here is that over flaring doesn't create ideal ball reactions.

My problem is this is a ball that I've had a good deal of success with. Should I plug the x-hole it has and move it to a position where it would tighten up the bowtie?

Why do that if you have had success with the ball?

I put the pin in a strong position on my Raw Hammer Pain and it flares a lot. There's a good distance between the rings. This ball doesn't hook a lot but works great on tough patterns and is very controllable.

Well it looks like I may have initially misdiagnosed the issue anyhow. Still have it in the shop to get my ring finger hole tweaked to my current specs.

Im having the same problem with my Ultimate Inferno. Its polished and drilled very agressive. The ball starts revving up in the mids and just boggs out in the backend and only moves slightly because of my revrate and it being reactive helps some. When i drill a ball weaker the ball never rolls and doesn't hit at all.

Now you have me clue-less. When you drill it strong the ball revs early and lay's off on the back end. This is a good thing believe it or not. I experience the same thing which gives me more control on dry over-reacting back ends.

Where i'm stumped is when you drill a ball weaker. When I use longer (weaker) pin to PAP distances, my balls reaction get's stronger down lane and less in the mid-lane. The longer pin to pap distance gives me a lot more reaction on the back end and never looses hitting power.

Another thing I've noticed chitown is the coverstock truely is shown. Reactive balls will go longer and flip A LOT HARDER, and Particle balls are just as soon and have more of hook and a bananna shape overall with the hitting power.

For the longest time I used 1 layout on all my equipment. I used pin above the bridge (5.5" from pap) CG kicked right to 1oz and no balance hole. I just let the cover and cores separate the reactions. Guess what? They did! Early rolling type of balls rolled early compared to the balls that were meant to go long. Find yourself your favorite length/back end type layout and use it on most of your equipment.

I now have most of my equipment drilled the same except for a couple balls with specialty layout's for control. I really feel that a bowler can get by just fine with the same pin position on all there equipment. They can alter the reactions between the balls by adding x-holes and kicking the CG's out to different distances.
