Title: urethane type of reaction on a reactive ball?
Post by: chitown on June 14, 2007, 05:30:50 AM: I have a scout high flare urethane ball which I like a lot. I love the urethane type of reaction.

What kind of layout could I use on a reactive type of ball to get the same type of reaction that a urethane ball gives?

The only layout I can think that may be what i'm looking for is a pin axis type of layout. Do you guys feel i'm on the right track with this thinking?

When I was really cranking the ball, the only drilling I could use successfully was a pin-axis layout with a black PURE Hammer and a Sling Blade. You're on the right track, but you'll also need to use a mid-lower differential ball (0.040 and lower).

Basically, you just need to tighten the track flare and prep the surface so it burns up a little so it won't read the backend and snap.

If you can get hold of a Track Animal.
I know you liked the Animals.

Drill it pin axis, like the one I used to throw.
If you remember, it had a rolling urethane reaction on any lane condition.
Wish I still had it.

Post by: BigHorhn on June 14, 2007, 03:19:40 PM: This is a interesting topic Chitown. I've been in search of the same reaction that you have discribed. Especialy since I've been bowling in a PBA experience league summer where the backend always seems to be strong. The suggestion that I got was to put the pin in the palm of a ball with medium to low differential. It would also be good to put it on a particle/particle pearl ball. Let me know what you come up with. I would like to have something drilled before I go to the lilac tournament in rodchester. 2cents

Post by: chitown on June 19, 2007, 04:11:40 PM: Thanks for the reply's. I'm going to try out a pin axis type of layout and see how it works. I'm still up in the air with which ball i'm going to try this with. A particle pearl maybe better than a reactive for this type of ball motion.

Why would you want to do this when you can still buy a Visionary Slate Blue Gargoyle??? Go to allstarbowling.com and check them out. -- JohnP
