I made a drilling mistake...XXXL and I'm estatic!
« on: February 08, 2006, 08:41:26 AM »
Spare problem solved.

Wanted the XXXL to be a strike ball when dry.
Well I drilled weak label leverage...pin touching ring cg under grip center.

Well it really won't strike much on our condition (40 foot shot synthetics)unless you get those Norm Duke 5 pin fallin after the ball has passed it sort of things....(how does he do that...wind?).

But I have found the synthetic lanes spare ball of spare balls.

My observation of my problem with my shiny white dot was it just scooted in the heads!  Quick and a 1/2 board miss either side was gone...in to the gutter or right by the pin!  I have so many 7 pin misses by paint and so many pins touched that wouldn't fall...I wanted to shoot myself or more safely for me...one of my teammates.

However, since I started using this for my spareball I am a different man.

This ball slightly dulled(don't know grit)....does NOT scoot thru heads...Very controllable roll all the way down the lane then about a 2 to 3 board smooth rolling hook and PICK...gone.  I've gone about 2 boards deeper with feet and I've gone from 55% say up to over 85%! if not a touch higher.

I believe last night I only had one open...and since I've NEVER been all clean..I don't think...I was pretty happy!  

I bowled next to the #2 300 man in the country last night and after a 289 he had a 10 pin with a shiny plastic...scoot...in the gutter right in front!

I wanted him to hand him my new spare ball and say have at it...but unfortunately he is a wrong sider.

REgards,

PS now I want one to drill stronger for strikes! do you have one?
