Blue Vibe backend needs help
« on: September 08, 2007, 03:33:50 PM »
Drilled up the blue vibe to go long: 5 in from PAP with CG kicked way out to the right.( right handed bowler)

---------o-pin
--------O-O------
-------------X-CG

---------O-------            
                           

Tried it twice on different lanes on different days.

It clears the head pretty well and starts to hook about the right time, But the small hook "dies" ( no continuous hook). It's more like a small change in direction. Cosequently the carrry is not good although the hitting power is good. I often leaves out 5 or 7. If I put more hand( for side rotation) it would improve a little. I have no similar problem with other balls but then again, this is the only ball drilled to go long.
 
I wonder if a "balance hole" 5 in. to the right of the span will help to get a more continuous backend? Or the ball was drilled with the wrong "mass bias"?

Thank you in advance!

Vincent
