When to use Asymmetric?
« on: July 12, 2006, 08:02:00 AM »
I believe when the C. Mass came out Phil made a comment something like...that the asymmetric was best used on fresh condition, but that symmetric balls were better once the condition broke down.  

I find the C.Mass valuable on broken down conditions because it seems to continue making its move in a predictable way without being thrown off by the unpredictable oil - making it more reliable than my symmetric core balls.  And some big boomers have reported their success using the C. Mass through many games without having to put it away, implying that it worked well right through transition for them as well.      

However, I respect Phil's opinions very much so I'd like to better understand what he meant.  Perhaps he meant the asymmetric is more predictable through the wet/dry - over/under stage?  But, even if that is correct, it doesn't explain the relative advantage of the symmetric look once the condition breaks down.    

Any ideas?

over time when the heads go, that is past just carry down, asymmetrical balls like to read friction more violently than symmetrical. You are correct in saying that it may work well for you even after some carry down but in long format events not only does the the oil carry down but the heads go.Boomers as you mention have success moving deeper and finding more head oil to get the ball through the fronts but if the heads dished out (dry in the middle and wet out sides than they would have a more difficult time with the asymmetric wanting to rev too quickly. Also I must add the C.M is a unique asymmetric ball and was designed as I had said originally to be used longer through the sessions. I hope this clears it up. the Threshold seems to be more versatile and still as strong (recovery).

Got it.  I don't usually play past six games on top of fresh so I don't see the really worn heads.  Thanks much.  On to the Threshold.
