Author Topic: How is your SuperNova XP drilled? (Read 1747 times)

Sir Bowl-A-Lot · « **on:** January 08, 2009, 04:40:11 AM »

I'm thinking about picking one up and was wondering what drilling seems to work the best on this ball if I am looking to get a monster backend out of it. Should I go stacked lev, label, CG out, etc?

Thanks.

mine is drilled 4.5 x 4
or dual angle was 50* x 4.5 x 45*

this resulted in a stacked drilling, pin in the ring, cg stacked below, good length, very controllable back, but still a nice big move, shot 300 x 2 last year with it

As per Zues's recommendation, I drilled mine Label 1:30.
It was a good rolling ball for me.

Mine is stacked, and it is the one ball I almost want to keep even though it is 16lbs and I now throw 15lbs. The ball is just usable on any condition, and always packs a whallop on the pins. If I ever come across a good deal on a NIB 15lbs i will most likely buy it. Mine was a strong arc flip that was very easy to read and never did anything funny.

I'm torn between stacked leverage and label. The drill sheet online says the label drilling produces a rating of 8 for flare and a 9 for backend. That's pretty darn strong. I wonder why the stacked layout appears to be tamer with a flare rating of 7 and a backend of 8 though...

. . . if it were mine
. . . I'd choose Stacked drilling on a long pin
. . . maybe 2" above and to the right of the ring finger
. . . with a weight hole around the thumb quadrant
. . . hopefully this will create a hockey stick effect

Well for 1 they are meaning with the label drill to put the pin 3 3/8 from your positive axis point, which is maximum flare, then swing the cg in palm. In theory when enough oil is present to not make your ball which is drilled maxed out basically to not puke before it gets 3/4 the way down the lane, yes you will get more backend.

They rate the stacked at 4-5inches from your PAP with the cg the same from PAP. I say go with the stacked layout depending on rev rate, how far you go distance from PAP. I went 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 and I loved the reaction I got out of it. If I could do it again I would go 4 3/4 x 4 3/4, to give it a little more length.
