ASYMMETRIC CORE AND NEG SIDE
« on: March 07, 2006, 11:37:40 PM »
I have a question for anyone who has drilled or knows for a fact their ball has negitive side weight on an asymmetric core ball.I previously drilled 2 Morich Seek and Destroys up with almost the same static weights prior to drilling, same pin length, same top weight. #1 had a cg( here we go) 1" left of a line between the pin and mb. The other was inline with the pin and mb.

After drilling #1 I had a asymetric flip drilling with the cg 1/2" into the neg quadrant above grip center. #2 same drill but required an X-hole,dur to the straight alignment of the three markings, drilled 2-1/2" right of grip center on mid line back to 1/2oz pos side weight.

While testing the two balls I found #1 cornered harder and had continuation until it dropped into the pit, where as #2 still had a good turn at the break but did not have the continuation #1 had.

Now after seeing this I drilled a Vapor Zone for my shop assistant, different asymmetric core with the same asymetric flip layout with negitve side weight, he has + 1/2 mph and more hand than I do, he could not contol the ball, hooked off the charts.Back to the shop we poured compound in the x-hole bring it back to 3/8 oz pos side to make the ball controllable for his game.

Has anyone else seen this? Or has anyone tried this, and did you see the same results? I called and spoke to Fred Caroll at Morich his explanation to follow.

Interesting...I would like to hear the feedback on this one.

I think a few of the Asymmetrics that I've drilled for various people have come up slightly negative (side weight), but they didn't have any issues with them.

No issues at all Goof, spoke to Fred about it, he's answer was, it transitions earlier and gives it more continuation. Well after seeing it three times and on 2 totally different asymmetric cores I was just wondering if anyone else had tried it or seen it. Not perplexed just amazed at the results.

Goof, got a test set up going to happen Friday if all goes right, will let you know the results when I get them, probably early next week.

I've always wondered why in the Ebonite drill sheets that all of their patterns say that if a weight hole is required, drill it back to 1/2 ounce of negative weight.  Just didn't make any sense to me.  I always thought negative weight would help you get length out of a ball but I guess only on symmetric cores, not asymetric cores huh? Interesting.

Suppose so, but on asy cores I see a different tale.
