Enriched Uranium Cover Experience?
« on: February 06, 2007, 05:52:06 AM »
What surface and for what condition have you had the most success with the Enriched Uranium? I currently have one drilled pin over ring and CG out slightly hoping for length but pop in carrydown than my Polished Paradiegm drilled the same way.

just an idea, but considering that its Activator+, it is kind of in between the absolute inferno and the intense inferno as far as reaction.

You probably could go either way, up or down in surface, and get a great reactions.

I was approaching this ball as an absolute inferno on steroids, layout is in my profile on this ball.

right now its 600 grit + polish, box surface, gives a great midlane read and extra pop on the backend. When the heads start to breakup, I move inside with it, carry isnt affected, a really great and underappreciated ball.

I havent seen too much success with pin over's with this ball, especially with spinner types that ive seen throw it.

If i were to change the surface on it, i'd probably use a burgandy scotch brite pad (320 grit) and add rough buff, pushing hard, to get the best of both worlds, inbetween the smooth absolute (220 + RB) and the angular intense (400 + Polish).

Just an idea.

Hope this helps.

Charles, if you will look at MegaMav's profile and click on the EU, mine is drilled almost identical to his, minus the weight hole. Specs on mine are 4.25 x 3.5. My ball ended with 1 oz of side weight.I too have heard the Pin over fingers don't work as well.

I have an Enriched that I just got a few months ago and since, I've played with the surface a little bit. Firstly, it's drilled with pin an inch below bridge on center line and CG kicked out 45 degrees. Flare increasing xhole about 5-5 1/2" over. My first surface was of course box finish and it seemed to roll pretty well but I got it used and it wasn't drilled for me. After I redrilled it, I hit it with a worn grey scotchbrite so it was about 1500 I'd say. The ball moved very well on oil but just seemed to burn up too fast when swung out. And I dont even bowl on your THS. My house has been putting down a 42ft flat oil pattern down with a good volume of oil. The ball moved very well playing inside but outside, had trouble making it back unlike some other balls.

After that, I tried taking it down to 600 to help it into a roll sooner and it too had the same results. And currently, it's polished back up over 600 grit and still carries well inside and has extra power to make it back from outside. So personally, the OOB polish is the way to go for me. But overall, the ball loves oil and I have not had a condition where the ball will not move. Still getting used to it and I will comment more later.

i found 1200 polish to be the best surface for me.
