That old Cure
« on: December 20, 2007, 06:26:34 AM »
This ball was a hit in an area I used to bowl in for it's strong smooth controlled reaction.

I stumbled accross one in my garage yesterday.

It was surprising in many ways.  1. It flares a ton....flare rings over 5/8 of an inch apart!  2. It skids a long way(I think I used Ebonite particle polish.
3.  Despite its strong flare it reacts very mildly and evenly.

Big hitter also.

Question....how can this ball flare SO much yet react so smoothly?  The coverstock??  or the polish?  OR????

Low RG and a high-load particle cover.  Tends to smooth things out, ya know?

Low RG....and a High load coverstock????

Hmmmm....

I have a Reaction Roll....it is low Rg.....it is a high load coverstock.

It is polished(I'm not sure if with Ebonite Particle polish).

It flares a lot....it backends like a ping pong ball off the dry????  Tested same lanes yesterday......

Big flip similar drill

Experts...please advise....

I agree with Jess' review....this ball is smooth with push.

It actually almost doesn't turn the corner....it just flares!  Seems to just move sideways without flipping....but hits HARD
