Big Blue
« on: January 28, 2004, 07:21:19 PM »
Anyone having problems with carry using their Big Blue? I just read a review and the guy said that he liked the reaction of the ball, but didn't score very well with it. I'm the same way. I like the way the ball rolls but I'm only carrying maybe 1 out of every 4 pocket shots. I know I probably need to make a minor adjustment, and I haven't found a consistent one with this ball yet. After reading that review I was just wondering how others are scoring with the ball.

Couldn't get to the pro shop this past week due to weather. Decided to play with Big Blue a little anyway. Found a shot that I had a little success with. Had to roll the ball early and get it out to maybe 4 or 5. Then it takes a strong and extreme angle to the pocket. This shot worked better than any that I had tried with this ball. I still left several 7 and 10 pins, but not nearly as many as before. I was able to shoot 2 low 600 series with it which is more than I had done with it before. I'll keep tinkering with the shot and see if I can get some 230 and above games with it.

T, it could be the weights in the ball. Maybe not enough top weight or the right combination of side, finger, top.

Or, it would seem to me that a locator pin is needed on the ball, to determine which direction the 2 bottom blocks of the core are facing. If the angle of these 2 blocks are different, when laying out the ball, the ball will roll different, possibly causing you bad carry. =:^D

Yeah. I'm going to take the ball to the pro shop this week and have the weights checked. The guy  got the ball from suggested that. He had another one that he had to have redone because the weight combination wasn't right.
