Question/comments about after drilling weight(top & side)...
« on: November 23, 2003, 01:33:09 AM »
The ball in question here is a Raging Inferno...I did a little reading and found that the symetric core of the inferno series seem to like a label drilling.

So my driller and I layed it out label leverage, CG under palm, Pin about 3.75" from PAP and even with the ring finger (safe for flare, I''m a high track player)

the ball started as 15.2 lb./3.2 top/3" pin

After drilling it is 1/8 oz negative side, 0 top, and a hair of finger weight......

I know I shouldn''t be scared, but I am a little.... I keep thinking of the old urethane days of wanting Positive side and some top left after drilling.

I should probably check some of my other equipment, to see what they are....I''m just starting to really work hand in hand with a driller and being involved in the drilling/layout process....

Info on me= Medium to med fast ball speed, not quite a cranker but not too far away, a lot of axis rotation (I''m learning to stay behind it better, but after 16 years of bowling, it is tough) PAP is 5"over x 1/4" up from grip centerline. I average 207 and it isn''t an easy shot....

I was hoping for a heavy oil ball that would read about 1/2 way down and move with authority.....

think I''ll have it? I can''t throw it until tueday night in league......DARN!

Shifter, it doesn't seem possible to have no top weight left, when it started with 3.2 oz, drilled label leverage, no hole. Are you a brick layer, with huge fingers..? =:^D

T-god that does make sense.....

I'm going to check it tomorrow nite, I'm wondering if he said, 1/8 neg side, 0 finger and a little top.........either I misunderstood him or he confused it...

I'll know tomorrow...
