Burning off tilt
« on: January 21, 2013, 01:00:05 AM »
Can anybody enlighten me on which drilling parameters that affect the rate a ball burns of tilt?
I think this will benefit a lot of ppl who want to increase length and backend.
Also, I guess a ball with high RG and low differential will burn tilt off slower?

Surface and ball speed are the major factors that control that, but they're not drilling factors. Drill angle and amount of flare helps controls length but to a lesser degree.

Lower RG balls will help burn off tilt faster. The lower the RG the faster the ball will spin to 0, and vice versa. Diff will deal with the transition downlane. Drilling just manipulates these factors, but other things factor in as well, to agree with Charlest.
The problem is, everyone wants more backend. When in actually, the faster the ball gets into a roll and longer the ball is in the roll phase, the better your chances at carrying the pocket.
