XXXL-Drilling Suggestions
« on: July 23, 2006, 01:49:27 AM »
Guys- This will be my 1st Lane 1 ball. I am a rev dominate 13.5 to 14.5 mph tweener.I want to use this ball for dry conditions but am not sure how to drill it because I don't know how much it hooks in the dry. My favorite drill is usually 6" pin to pap, pin 3&3/4 above midline, 75 degree backend. I would also like to use this as a spare ball. I would appreciate any suggestions from those that are familiar with this ball.
                                     Thanks,
                                     Mike E

I recently bought one. It has a 2.75" Pin and is drilled with Pin under RF just barely touching the edge of bridge and CG out just enough so that it doesn't require a weight hole, and I LOVE it. Easy to throw straight with no hook at the RH corner pins (I'm right handed) and when the lanes dry out, I can make it hook a bit and it carries great even though I don't have a lot of hand and revs. (read my profile) I had another 3 years or so ago drilled with Pin beside and at top edge of RF and CG stacked directly below and it didn't work nearly as well for me as my new one does.

Mine is drilled 4x4, with the pind at 1:30 to the ring finger, and the cg kicked right and stacked.  I have high revs, but also have higher speed.   This ball does not ever over-react, so you are able to drill as strong as you want; IT'S PLASTIC!!!

Ive had two, one drilled pin below bridge, cg stacked and it was great, straight when i needed it to, and I could throw it up the boards on a THS (16.5 mph/425+ revs) my next one is label drill with pin up and right of fing, this one moves a little more on the spares, but is easier to control as I can use my normal release for it and know that if i get to the way dry for a ten pin it will hook slightly into it, it is also very good on the THS up the 10 board for me
