If you're having trouble with a BuzzBomb or other ball...
« on: June 21, 2009, 02:58:03 PM »
Possible tip --

About three weeks ago, I made a change on the advice of one of my scratch league teammates to turn up my speed and come up the back of the ball more rather than throwing my preferred high axis rotation/low axis tilt/lower speed shot.

About the time I did that, I noticed a problem getting nearly all my Lane #1 stuff to read as well downlane and drive the pocket. This applies to all my stuff, across multiple cores and coverstocks (even across both Brunswick and 900Global pours).

If it's possible for those of you who are having trouble with BuzzBombs, or whatever ball, to play around with your rotation and tilt specs, do that and see what happens. Then, if you don't want to throw it that way to get it to work, it might at least give you an idea of how to change the drilling (i.e., get the pin at an angle where it might be more perpendicular to the lane off your hand).

This may not help anyone, but it's worth a look for the guys that can manipulate axis and tilt. And it's free to try.

Great advice Jess...I suspect that's one reason my BuzzBomb works sooooo well for me. I am predominantly an up the back guy with very low tilt and axis rotation.

With the pin up- cg out drilling and surface (2000 and polish) it still reads (due to my release) but gets off the corner due to the drilling and surface.

Just my 2 cents, FWIW.
