Asymmetrical Flip Drilling on SuperNova
« on: January 03, 2008, 07:57:33 AM »
Happy New Year All.

Just looking for insight. How do you think one of Morich's Asymmetrical Flip layouts would work on a SuperNova? I know the SuperNova does not have as strong of a MB as most Morich balls but I was just wondering.

I was originally going to lay it out with the pin 4 1/2 X 2 1/2 which would put the pin over my ring finger and the MB right on my VAL. The ball has a 3.25 inch pin with 3.5 oz of top.

I already have two SuperNovas drilled up. One with the pin in the midline and under the fingers with the CG kicked out a bit with no weight hole ( 5 x 4 ), and it is has a strong arc type of roll. The other is drilled almost stacked (3.5 x 3) and I didn't care for that layout very much.

Any opinions? I was just looking for decent length nothing that rolls up too early, with a strong continuous backend.

Thanks

believe it or not, some of the strongest supernovas i have seen, both solid and xp's have been laid out with a label drill resulting in the mass bias on the left side of thumb


actually, this is very correct.  I have one drilled extreme label that the MB is very close to the track.  This resulted in a skid and sudden snap at the backend.  The first time I tested this ball it looked like a dead ball with no energy and when it got closer to the pins the ball became very alive

Yes, I've noticed that on most of Lane#1's drill sheets, their label layout is the strongest the majority of the time. But they hardly use a label layout on any of their ball videos.

The Label layout generally gives good length, and strong backend.
Mike (the bowler in the Lane #1 videos) does not have a high rev rate (when his thumb is in the ball), so it stands to reason he would drill the balls to get into a roll earlier.
