Post by: Sir Bowl-A-Lot on May 05, 2005, 01:07:56 AM: Is the coverstock on this ball the same as what is used on the Ultimate Inferno?

All this of course would be on ideal lane/oil conditons for both balls.

Intense = Activator+ and Lane#1 has yet to use this cover on any ball to date. Dirty Bomb the pearl one and the Uranium Pearl both use Original pearl activator no +.

Just a word of advice on the Solid Uranium, if your track is high, you have to discuss carefully the layout you're going to do with it or it may track on the finger holes.

AllenP, Could you elaborate more of your comment.Mine was drilled about pin 4" from pap next to ring finger & cg is kicked out about 2" from center grip so if there's a MB it will be on my pal with weight hole drilled. I've notice that I do track very close to the finger holes, why is that?

Thanks,

Post by: Doug Sterner on May 11, 2005, 09:24:30 PM: The combination of a high track, the low RG of the Solid, the very sticky coverstock and your drill patterns will lead to the ball rolling over the holes for some people.

I have seen it happen with other equipment as well but it has always been with dull resins and low RG cores.

Allen, whatare your axis specs?
