Funny Roll
« on: May 15, 2008, 06:49:22 AM »
OK, a buddy of mine bought a G-Force. He threw it for about 5 games, didn't like it and he passed it along to me in mutual trade. I had it plugged and re-drilled for me(he was righty, I am a lefty). I don't remember the drilling off the top of my head and do not have ball readily available to look at since I'm at work. However, every time I throw the ball it never seems to roll quite right. I can get it to HOOK up to the pocket but I can't get it to ROLL into the pocket. I can hit the pocket but it only seems the throw pins around leaving goofy stuff at times. I can't seem to get it to roll up and face the pocket and drive all ten into the pit. Does anyone else have this issue with any of their lane #1 stuff? Because this ball is first lane #1 ball so I do not know if it is me or equipment just doesn't fit my game. Thanks.

i've know the warped diamond core to be funny and not match up with certain people.

I had my span stretched by a more qualified driller when I got my SuperNova.

He plugged my Cobalt Pearl and Blue Dot in the process to keep it consistent.

The Cobalt never rolled the same. It rolled funny. I can't even describe it.

It's since sat in my closet. Used to be my go to ball and personal favorite.

I will likely never buy a used ball as a result because I don't trust the process.

Check the ending weights. They are probably not correct for the layout and/or your style or lane condition. A weight hole will probably do the trick, depending on the weights and how it's layed out. =:^D

Sounds like the experience I had with my first Enriched Uranium. I've got another one I just punched up that I haven't tried yet, but my first one had a tendency to hit where you think it would be able to score, but leave a bunch of jigsaw puzzles.

Possibly a mis marked ball. There were a lot towards the end of the BigB /Lane#1 relationship.

Have you taped your PAP and watched the ball's reaction on its way down the lane? Try it and check around which axis the core finally stabilizes - if at all. It can be that, through a mismatched pin-to-PAP or weird static weights and core orientation, tha ball does not stablize around its intended PSA, but maybe around the pin axis or other funny things, and therefore finish weak.
