On A strong MB/Strong cover ball......
« on: December 29, 2008, 07:43:26 AM »
.............such as a Bounty,Break S75,Virtual Gravity, Ntense LevRG,etc;
what would putting the MB level with or above the thumb,  and the pin several inches about the bridge, in or near my track , do to the ball reaction?  tame it down severely?  make it even more rolly?  make it even more angular?   just kinda curious what this would do one a strong asymmetrical core and strong cover.

I have a virtual with 6", pin just left of the middle finger, MB just right of the thumb.  Ball is very clean through the front, reads the mids a little but not a lot.. and then makes a very angular move and stops.  I have a Vapor Zone drilled up the same way.. I just got the VG as I wanted a strong version of that ball motion.  It is a very condition specific layout though.. really the only time I use this layout is when playing outside on a cheetah pattern before it's starts to breakdown.  When the pattern starts to breakdown, then this ball reaction isn't as effective as your depending on fresh backends for ball motion.  Once some of the oil starts to carry down then this layout will give you a lot over/under.  But on the fresh it works ok as it will let me play straighter through the fronts and get some angle on the back.  Works better for me than moving left and trying to swing to the breakpoint with a stronger layout/ball that rolls earlier and has a big backend (which will work later once you have some carrydown).
