Drilling for a Tsunami?
« on: December 26, 2006, 06:26:15 PM »
This will be my first lane 1 ball i think.  Im mainly looking for something to go between my Total inferno & my Raw Hammer Doom(its about a 10 board difference).  Basically a med-oily ball thats not all back end.   Ive been wanting to try Lane 1 for a while now, & after i got my xmas money, i decided to buy 1, ive all but fully decided on the tsunami for my purpose.

I was considering pin next to & slightly above the ring finger, MB in the strong position, to the right of the thumb.  

Does anyone have a better option on the drilling and/or ball choice??

need help fairly fast, ill be ordering tomorrow.

Since you don't have a profile, I have no idea how you throw the ball, I recommend waiting until you have the ball and read the drilling instructions and decide for your self.

I got a Tsunami for my first Lane #1 ball and won enough money with it to buy 10 of them, the ball carries better than any other ball I have owned. I drilled mine 4 3/8 to the pin and 3 3/8 to the cg and put the mb close to the val. The pin was drilled 2 3/4 up from the midline which put it next to my ring finger. I put the weight hole on the pap.

bah, i always forget to put my style down in these kinda posts

Pap - 5-7/8-> x 1/2^
Speed - 17ish mph
Revs - med/high

Preferred line - anything that gets me to the pocket, but if i have to choose, either 15at the arrows to around 10 at the break, or 12 to 8

Also, 1 thing i was wondering.... Ive looked at the drill sheet, & from my exp with other manufacturers, the "MB" dot, which on the Tsunami is just the location of the mini diamonds, is how u dictate what the ball does.  Is this not the case with the Tsunami?

For instance, a typical label drill on something assymetrical will usually be really weak, because the MB is in the track.  If the mini diamonds r in the track, is this also the case?

if i like the tsunami as much as everyone else does, i may get a 2nd & do pin on pap, or 6-3/4" from pap for med/dry lanes.  

Anyone else got a suggestion for drilling the tsu for med/oily?  I need something between my doom & my total inferno.
