Title: Drilling a Blueberry- 1st Lane 1 Ball
Post by: Mike E on November 23, 2003, 05:30:52 AM

Recently purchased a B.B. saw(my first). My benchmark ball right now is a shock zone pro drilled in typical full roller fashion(pin & C.G. in a 7:30 alingment). The zone is drilled 2" Pin to center of grip which makes it 4&3/4" pin to nap.I really like this drilling but the zone is a particle ball with a diff. of .047 and the B.B. is a reactive cover with a diff. of .035. Do I need to drill the B.B. stronger than the zone to get the same or close to the same reaction? Any suggestions are appreciated.

                                  Best Regards,
                                  Mike E

Mike, message Doug Sterner or Clump with your drilling question on your Blueberry.

Mike,

What conditon are you going to use it on, and what reaction do you desire?  Seeings as you are a full roller (track between the center of grip), you should contact Doug Sterner, as he has drilled for my wife, and she too tracks that way, but with less ball speed.  I am not real familiar with FR layouts, but DS is a master, especially when it comes to Saws!!

Thanks Guys for the Replies, I did ask Doug's advice and he said he would leverage it and adjust the cover from there. I don't own a spinner yet so I was trying not to be too agressive with the drilling. I have not had much luck with leverage stuff mostly because of my ball speed (around 14 mph-a little on the slow side). I wanted to use the B.B. on a medium oil league shot. I was wondering what would be a good pin to pap distance given my ball speed and medium oil condition.
                                Thanks,
