Real Deal drilling - How's your reaction?
« on: June 23, 2005, 04:13:00 PM »
I purchased a real deal and I'm very skeptical on drilling. I've heard to drill it weak because the ball is very strong. Most of my equipment is pin over or under bridge. Both pin positions are good for me. I choose based on the reaction I need. It puts the pin about 5 6/8 - 6" from pap. I usually track fairly high, med-high revs guessing->(350+), 16-19 mph. Pap 5 6/8> 1/8^. I really don't want to polish. I bowl on medium oil at best most of the time. I'm thinking of drilling it (6 x 6 1/8) putting the pin under bridge, MB under thumb. Basically putting the pin and MB on grip line. Any help is appreciated! thanks

in one of my favorite I drilled it with a 5 1/2" pin and a 4" cg.  I put factory finish polish on mine and I LOVE IT!!!  Leaving it dull made it burn up too quick.  Now the pin and cover get good length and very good reaction on the back.  It will allow you to play direct on tight conditions and inside if you need to on medium oil.  I LOVE THIS BALL!!!  and you will too!

Good Luck, and if you need anything additional, just ask

I've got my Real Deal drilled strong.  I have high ball speed, and I wanted the ball to roll sooner in heavy oil.  So I have the pin placed below and slightly to the right of the ring finger.  The ball start rolling early and does a smooth arc to the pocket.  This ball and particular layout is my heavy oil ball.
