What are the EFFECTS of having a ball with BOTTOM weight? SAME as TOP weight?

TOO many IDIOTS, so LITTLE time.

for pancake cores, yes.

3 oz (max, as for top weight) for dynamic cores will have less effect than for pancake cores, upon which it will have a dramatic effect, as well as raising the track.

I had an Ultra Angle years ago with bottom weight, and I seem to remember it lowering my track. It rolled really early, burned up quick, and hit really flat if I couldn't find enough oil. If I could find enough oil (usually deep inside), it hit really hard and carried well. I remember one particualr hit, scouting a stone 9 on the fly.

Not sure what kind of core the Ultra Angle had.

On pancake cores, bottom weight acts like negative side weight & thumb weight in making ball hook/roll early and usually raises your track.

I had a Yellow Dot bleeder with bottom weight (before I knew what it did); hit like a marshmellow on prozac. Left 5-7s and 8-10s, like I invented them.

And I thought this thread was going to be about me....
