Lane 1 Arsenal
« on: December 28, 2005, 11:53:39 AM »
I wrote the same thing on the Ebonite website and its not meant to compare companies and I probably will inter mix the companies bowling balls but I just wanted some others advice.

My Lane 1 arsenal is:

Super Carbide Bomb
Super Carbide
Bomb Pearl
Enriched Uranium
XL
XXL
XXXL

I hope I can get some feedback.  Some of these bowling balls are outdated but still great equipment.

Triggerman,

I did not match up very well with the Uranium Peal so I will look into the H20 And the Tsumani.  I'll also look at the Bullet.

Thanks for the input.

my uranium is ridiculously versatile.
maybe the drilling isnt working out for you Nic.

i was skeptical of the pin under and CG out for drilling because i usually like it on the side or above the fingers.

rolls up early and even, "Massive Impact" describes how it hits.

great ball, give it a chance, took me 10 games to get a great read on it.

I had the Carbide Bomb pearl and the Uranium pearl.

I drilled and never threw the Carbide Bomb pearl and I could not get a good read on the Uranium pearl.  It was consistent but I just couldn't carry.  It was when I first came back to bowling and I struggled horribly.  I'm not saying anything negative about the ball, just sold it to a friend that is killing the local lanes with the Uranium pearl and the Uranium solid.

Looking for advice on how to drill the Enriched Uranium for the bench mark ball.


Thanks for the reply.

MegaMav,

I acually have the Massive Impact from Legends.  I don't know how that hits either but its in my game not the ball.  There is only one ball on the market currently (and I own it) that I just don't get at all.

I know bowlers that have several Uranium pearls all drilled differently that shoot lights out.


I am shooting lights out with a Big Time Pearl and the Sonic Boom.  Go figure.

Unless the ball is unusually strong, that drilling works well for me on most balls. Wish I had known that 2 1/2 years ago when I had some Saws. All were drilled in the vicinity of label drill and didn't do well for me. I blamed the balls, whereas thru having other brands of balls drilled Pin under RF after that and working well for me, I concluded it was the layout on the balls that caused my problem and not the balls.

Brick:
im happy with the way the uranium reads.

when my inferno was getting to be uncontrolable (PIN Above), i took out the uranium (PIN Below), and got back into the groove, even with the same coverstock.

the uranium is the first ball ive owned with the pin under like that.

i have a NIB Time Zone, i have it layed out for pin below, im anxious to see how that one works out for me also, being a solid resin and not pearl, it will probably be even smoother at the break!

Nic, have you tried a short pin, drilled label with the pin under/slightly to the right of the ring, with the CG towards the palm..? Nothing fancy, keeping it simple, this gives you the most continuation on the backend. It works great on Buzzsaw's.

With pin out balls, pin over the bridge and Cg kicked out 3 1/2 - 4" from PAP also work great, for an earlier, more even rolling motion. =:^D

T-GOD: That's my favorite Uranium setup -- I have it on both of my Uraniums (Solid and Pearl), as well as my Golden Nugget. Short pin label leverage seems to very compatible on different Saws, but it works especially well on the Uraniums.

Most of my Saws were drilled pin near the ring finger, I have several so but for the most part its 3 3/8 from my pap and the CG between the thumb and the VAL (strong position).

What do you think the Enriched reactions would be with the pin about in the 2 O'Clock area and the MB if marked, under or just right of the thumb, almost a 2:30 drilling?

I also have the Pro Purple, Teal and several others of the Buzzsaw line.

Thanks for the help.  I just want a ball that I can take out of the bag for the first ball out of the bag to help and read the lane.

Nic,

You're probably drilling the balls a bit too strong, with the pin in the leverage, i.e. 3 3/8" from PAP. In combination with the CG in the thumb quadrant, the ball may be too early and too strong off the dry.

Either one of these too layouts should be good for reading the lanes.

The first one will give you more length with a strong continuation on the backend thru the pins.

The bottom one with the CG out, will give you an earlier read in the mids, with a smooth controlled reaction off the dry, with less continuation on the backend.

Thank you T-GOD.  Its nice to see you are still reading and responding to some of the post.  A couple of my Ebonite are drilled like your second recommended drilling except the pin is under the ring finger.

I'm probably going to try your first recommended drilling on the Enriched Uranium.  Think that will work?

Thanks again.

Nic, I'm still here, although lurking more than usual. Pin under the bridge will work fine too, just a bit earlier. The first layout will work great, it'll just be stronger, a bit later down the lane. Good luck. Glad to see you again. =:^D

I have found my current arsenal to cover nearly any condition. What do we all think?

Super Carbide Bomb drilled basically 4x4, light polish
Enriched Uranium drilled 5-1/2 x 3-1/2, Track Delayed Reaction
Tsunami drilled 4x4x5, mass bias strong, Track Clean n Smooth
H2O drilled 2x4x6, MB under thumb, Clean N Smooth, Magic Shine
XXXL drilled 4x4, gloss polished

I also have a Pearl Cherry Bomb (pin over ring, cg stacked under) and a Super Carbide (5x4 pin over) at my disposal.
