Greetings all!

I have been anxious to try out a Lane 1 ball to see what all the fuss was about and picked up a used Super Carbide Bomb. It is drilled with the pin about an inch right of the ring finger in the 2:30 position. CG is kicked out about 1/2 right.

Here is my question. I usually am a very high track bowler with my track being very near my fingers/thumb. First time I threw the SCB I heard a distinct thump.....figured didn't get out cleanly...caught thumb..no big whoop...next shot...same sound....look at my track and saw that my track was incredibly different than anything I have ever seen before. It was like someone took my usual track and rotated it 30 - 45 degrees right'ish.....

to explain....

0 0 Pin

cg (lane 1 diamond symbol)

0

my ball's bowtie was centered directly on the middle finger with the flare rings going NE and SW of the Middle Finger...( if that makes any sense..).. so my track was something like this...

l
l
0(middle finger)
1
1

1's being the track.....

So basically my ball's bowtie is centered on the Middle Finger...

How do I change this?

Have never seen this before and have no idea what to do....

Buddy,

Greetings!

We checked the static weights on the ball after I threw it and it came up fine. Nothing you wouldn't expect with that type of drilling is what really surprised me. As for the pin, the diagram I drew up show's it the best....about and inch directly right of the ring finger is the pin location.

Had the owner of the proshop throw a couple and he tracked in his normal low position, it was just when I threw it that it flared so weird?

I am not sure if I explained the flare right so will try again. One of the bow ties is centered directly on my middle finger....the flare rings go NE and SW from there. I have never flared like that before and for the life of us we can't figure out what to do. If we plug it up how the heck do I drill it up to get my normal flare/track?

Thanks for any and all help!!

Mike

I normally track next to the middle finger, and then my track flares down. My supercarbide bomb makes 1 rotation there and then proceeds to migrate downward, somuchso that it tracks over the weight hole (ball is drilled stacked). My black cherry bomb is drilled with the pin over the ring finger, cg kicked out, and big weight hole up in the finger weight area to take out finger weight. This ball also starts up next to the middle finger and then migrates alot downward (about 7 1/2 inches). Both balls tracks look almost like I spin the ball, which I don't. The only thing that I can attribute the migration to is the weightblock, and core combinations. I'm not complaining about this migration, in fact I love both balls. You might think about a different drilling pattern, my blueberry was drilled at 130 drill and migrated up towards the fingers for me, and different releases to see what the ball does. Good Luck

Contacted Lane 1 about this....

Told me to drill out the middle and ring fingers much deeper to try and lose the top weight....this should bring my track more in line with where it should be. Wouldn't mind where the track is but with it flaring over fingers.......thump city is never good....

Will let you know the results!
