Author Topic: Original G-Force - too much for my THS shot (Uh! Nevermind - update) (Read 1320 times)

WillynHook · « **on:** March 23, 2007, 03:29:43 AM »

I just don't have the proper conditions to use my G-Force.
I've toned down the drilling, removed hand, and increased the
speed but the ball is just way too much for my style and conditions.

The only time I had a condition that the ball was built for was
when the lane machine failed to clean the oil as it laid down
the oil pattern (it created what was about a 50 foot heavy oil
flood gutter to gutter pattern).

In fact, I just don't have much luck with surfaces that are not pearl.

I know a lot of the rest of the FOS folks are having a much better
experience with the ball.

Any advice?

Current drilling, 1:30 drill. Polished up cover - tweener~ 350 revs.

Just out of curiosity, where did your MB end up?

My opinion...save it for a rainy day...er...flood.

Why try to make everything work on a THS when there are so many "middle of the road" coverstocks that do it so well. Throw it in your tourney bag and hope you run into a condition where an oiler will be an advantage.

Did I ever mention I don't like this drilling at all?

I am just the opposite of you...don't have much luck with pearl balls.

Yep, as stated it is already polished. I'm thinking of a plug and re-drill
since this is the first 1:30 drill I've tried.

Might try a 4by4 or 4by4.5,..... need to think a bit more.

I too had the 1:30 drilling on my G Force and absolutely hated the ball. It was way too unpredictable for me. It seems to be a good drilling for those guys who are serious strokers and have heavy oil but guys with hand? Forget it.

I plugged mine up and redrilled it pin over ring and MB in the strong position. I also hit the ball with 2000 grit Abralon and just a hint of Track Magic Shine...in fact all I did was use my polishing rag and sprayed it with squirt of water...no new polish before I did the ball.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!! I now love the ball. Very smooth up front a strong arcing backend. The hit is just insane. Since redrilling this ball I have put away my Special Agent and shot 706 (my first 700 ever in this house) followed by a 596 in our PBA league (high series for the week in the league), then 1102 for a 5 game block on Saturday and then finished off with a 767 the following week in our mixed doubles handicap league.

Just an awesome piece right now.....

Okay, I think I have finally figured it out. Most every other ball in
my bag does well looking for a breakpoint down the lane around the 10th
board at 40 feet. Thus I was looking to do the same with the G-Force - but
with little success.

Finally figured out how to use the G-Force last night. I moved my left
foot to 35th board and trusted the ball out to the 5th board at around
45ft down the lane. BOOOYAH!!! Found it.

First game 266, second game 224.... had to switch the last game cause I
was already out of room,... but great while the shot lasted.

Great carry, great angle.... I feel so good that I have finally figured this
beasty out.

Whew!

work the surface of the gforce from 500 to 2000 abralon finish then polish the ball with(makes me sick)ebonite factory finish high polish. the ball wil go longer and react with a skid snap which should hopefully help you to the pocket more regularly.i hope this helps a little,i polished mine after 20 games in factory finish,just would not work with my shot
