Remedy
« on: December 31, 1969, 06:00:00 PM »
Ball NPS Score: Not Available
The REMEDY features a new weight block design; Phd. (perimeter halo design). Surrounding the equator of the weight block is a halo of core material that creates increased dynamics and torque. The large weight block provides medium RG and 5" plus of flare potential. The performance proven Dyno-shere is also utilized in the REMEDY.
Encompassing this core is SH3-plus a highly aggressive reactive coverstock. It creates increased traction in the mid lane and strong continuation on the backend. The surface can easily be adjusted with polishes, sandpaper or Scotchbrite for a specific reaction on most lane surfaces.  Specs coming soon!

I drilled one of these balls for Barbara Bias, one of the better lady players in the Houston area, and a PWBA Regional Champion. Barbara has medium speed, and medium turn, I would consider her a tweenter player.  She primarily throws Columbia and Brunswick equipment and was looking to replace her Danger Zone Red Alert.  We chose this ball because it has a rather large core body, aggressive reactive resin, similar amount of flare, and because BB let me guinea pig her with a Dyno-Thane ball!  

The ball we used had 3.25 oz of top weight before drilling and the pin was out about 3 inches.  I used a fairly aggressive layout, the pin was about 4 inches from her PAP with the mass bias in a strong position, or also a 75 degree layout.  (How's that Denny?)  We had to use a small hole deep 6 inches from the center of span, about 2 inches below the midline.  We tested this ball for about 10 games on fresh oil on Brunswick synthetic lanes.

This ball turned out very similar to the Red Alert.  The Red Alert had a little more length and snap, but the Remedy out hooked the Red Alert by about 2-3 boards.  BB wanted a little more snap, and I think this could be gained by using some polish, Storm #3 or Degree 1200.  (I like those).  There were 3-4 people bowling, and as the lanes broke down, the ball got a little weaker.  The hitting power was not great, but she was bowling on BRAND NEW Twister pins.  I think the shine is all that is needed, and the Red Alert will be put to sleep.

Overall, I think this ball is a nice benchmark ball, or first ball out of the bag.  It seemed to like the fresh a little better.  I think the players with a little more hand will like this ball even better, with say a 3" to 5" pin from PAP with a 25 or 45 degree layout, which puts the mass bias over towards the verticle axis line.  This will make the ball smoother on the fresh, especially when there is wet/dry.  With the right surface, you could probably use this ball from 5th board to 5th arrow!

Hope this helps ya...!

This is the one.
Rolls smooth down the lane, and walks right into the
pocket.Very hard hitter.My firts games with it were,
215,218,225,259. My average is 196.Can't wait to use it
in the leagues. Even on the few bad shots I made,
the ball recovered well, and left me with easy spares.
I rate this ball better than the elixir. 9/10
