Blueberry Question
« on: August 04, 2003, 09:16:12 PM »
Hey what's up!  I have a blueberry waiting for me to drill but I don't know if it'll fit in my current arsenal.  I'm a RH mid-high speed, med revs player.  Comfort zone is from around 20 - 17 out.  I currently have the following:

Phenom
Vortex II Sanded
Cherry Bomb
Spirit
Spare Ball

I don't really want any of the balls to overlap one another.  I was thinking of a more control ball drilling for the blueberry.  Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

The Blueberry is a smooth rolling ball, good for control. A CG axis drilling will enhance this reaction, and should be what you're looking for. =:^D

Depending on drilling, the BB may be too close to the Cherry and the V-2 solid.

If you go with a big diffreence in drill pattern, you should be OK.

If you do not have a little bit of overlap, then you have conditions for which you have no balls and you have no ability to cover the transition of a changing oil pattern.

Thanks for all the replies!  Most of my equipment have a more angular entry.  Should I drill the blueberry the same way as my cherry and let the ball have it's natural reaction (more arcing ball I assume) or should I change the drilling to give the arcing reaction on the ball?  Doug? =)

My Cherry is drilled 3-1/2 x 4-1/2 and the Blueberry is 4x3. The Blueberry actually hooks more overall than the cherry does but the cherry is much more playable when they start to dry up a bit.

How's your Cherry drilled???? For most bowlers I suggest a cg out drill on the Saws instead of a stacked drilling unless they have strong ball speed because the stacked layouts tend to be very touchy for guys with slower speeds. I think the drilling on my Cherry would be more versatile if I had more revs.

Lemme know how your cherry is drilled and we can go from there.
