Taming the Cobalt Bomb breakpoint
« on: May 09, 2006, 05:02:21 AM »
Has anyone attempted to use layout or surface adjustment to add some control to the skid/snap reaction of the Cobalt Bomb?  If so, what did you do and how successful were you?

A little background on the source of the question: Some of my biggest success stories equipment-wise have been taking equipment that was advertised as strong skid/snap and using layout to create less snap and more hard arc.  My sole experience with Lane #1 products has been two Blueberries.  While they've won me much money, they don't have the core or cover of the more modern lane #1 stuff.

Thanks in advance.

Mine has tamed down a little bit after getting some game time on it. I had it drilled 5x5 stacked, and it was VERY flippy at first. Now it seems a little more controllable (and I am also getting a better idea of when to use it and when to leave it for a better ball option).


Hey Nova, mine did that exact opposite! it started out with a long powerful arc and now its getting a little more flippy  go figure!!
Now throwing pretty much all flavors...
