Control ball drilling
« on: August 08, 2003, 07:53:43 PM »
If a ball due to it's design (low-med RG,
Low-med Differential, particle pearl)can be called control
ball, can it become unstable due to a too strong drilling
(3 3/8 x 3 3/8)?
Thanks for reading.

I am going to take a stab at this; drilling will only change a balls designed reaction to a certain degree.  If a ball is designed to be a controlled ball, even the max layout will not change that much, of course the amount of revs to speed ratio, of the bowler, will also have an affect on it.  There will be others who will answer from more technical experience, but I believ that I am in the proverbial "ball park".

As Saw Mill stated, drillings will basically "enhance" the reaction of a ball. You can't really make a dull ball that rolls early, go long and snap hard, just with a different drilling.

As far as making your ball unstable, I would use the words "less stable". =:^D
