Ball Strength
« on: November 19, 2013, 02:54:57 PM »
I have a Misfit (orange/blue) and Too Reckless. I love them both but Misfit is my go to ball. Both balls started with a pin over ring finger stacked drilling and the Misfit was way stronger for me. I have the Too Reckless redrilled to be stronger and still my Misfit is stronger. Since I love my Misfit like it is I didnt want to redrill so I bought another one and am going to drill it up weaker to see what i get. Definately two differant shapes, the Misfit is a more smooth arcing ball and Too Reckless for me is longer and sharper on the back end. Question is, by everything i've read the Too Reckless should be much stronger than the Misfit?

it could just be that you don't have enough oil for the Too Reckless so it is laboring on the lanes, which is why the Misfit has had the better reaction for you

Well that makes sense since the house I bowl in has medium/light conditions.

sounds about right.  Most of the DV8 lineup is too strong for my house.  I have just about all of their pieces and my THS in the bag is Ruckus 3000 + polish, misfit, and misfit pearl.  My Diva, Too Wreckless, Endless, etc. . all stay at home

Thanks for the responses. I've only been bowling for 8 months so Im still learning alot about bowling and bowling balls as I go. I changed pro shops and the guy drilling my stuff now actually took the time to get my current PAP and work with me to get it in a better place. Turns out I had a low track (3 5/8) and this was contributing to my equiptment being drilled way too strong and being hard to control espesially on dryer conditions. After a couple weeks working on it i've got my PAP to 4 3/4 over and 1/4 up, what a differance! Between that and drilling everything correctly, including a new Misfit and Ruckus, its completely smoothed out my reaction and I can move right at the beginning of leauge and throw a completely differant line. Anyways just thought id explain part of the problem was of course me not being very good and part my equiptment being drilled wrong.

Good to see that your new pro shop was able to help you with your equipment. Its always a good feeling when the ball is doing what you expected it to do. Keep it up, and good luck the rest of the season.
