World Class/R
« on: September 13, 2006, 04:56:31 PM »
I want to say how i love this ball on a lighter medium shot, super clean through the heads and pin crushing power. So far games of 225,231 with it, i thought i would post this because it seems like this ball is getting no love here. The WCR is a winner so if you have a lighter volume pattern and like to play the backend of lane give this ball a shot.

I am going to get a 2nd one soon and take too 4000 no polish and put the pin over the bridge, the 1 st one i have is pin under ring cg right above my thumb with no weight hole. Legends is top notch stuff try one for yourself

Finally got my 2nd WCR drilled and I rolled it last night during league .... MUCH better !!! I was stand 18 and running up the outside and crushing the right lane (left lane was a bit slicker so I was rolling the same line with my Masterpiece (layout and cover in my profile). Of the two (WCR and MP), the MP is stronger earlier and more angular, while the WCR is a bit longer and more snappy, but strong through the rack.
 I went with a 3.5 oz TW, 3 1/4" pin, 4 x 3 1/2 layout, cg 3/8" above ML and the pin above and right of the ring; although I REALLY liked the reaction with the OOB cover, I'm gonna try it at 4000 abralon and reapply the LEGENDS Factory Finish polish as a comparison.

737 series with it today (started the first game with my AP ... 10 pin tap and whiffed on a 6-10 spare before switching to the WCR); 212, 247, and then the front 9 the last game ... got fast feet and left the 2-5 and then a flush strike for a 278). This 2nd WCR with this new layout and coverstock "tweak" of 4000 abralon and polished is working out great !!!
 BTW, this was my 3rd "700" of this new season (first one with the WC, 2nd with the Terminator, and now this one) ... 3 opens in each of the first two and the one open in this one.

Great bowling, Robb. Congrats!

4000 grit PLUS polish?? That's very fine. Glad it worked out so well.

Yup ... 4K AND polished; the reason for that is because the first WCR that I had (with the poorly "matched up" layout) was VERY close to being OK for me, but only when I used that coverstock combo.
 If you look in my profile, you'll see that I have my WC at 4K sans polish, the MP at 4K sans polish, and I'm gonna try the Big Bang at 2K sans polish this week (just got the WC and BB out of the pro shop after having them do that adjustment); MAN ... I need to ask "Santa for a 1/2HP Vortex spinner for Christmas !!!

A spinner is a major positive investment. You have claimed a need for the essence of one with all the balls you have bought and all the surface adjustments you have tried and experimented with.

It is worth much more than 2 new balls! Maybe more than 3 new balls!

Robb let me know how the polished BB works i have not been using it lately, maybe a glossy BB will work well in the lighter house i have been bowling at this season.

Robb, you can buy that spinner cheaper than you are buying all of those bowling balls for, so what you need to do is reverse your wants and buy a spinner and have your wife buy the bowling ball since the bowling balls cost more.

I may have to change the coverstock on my WC Reactive. I have been using a Mongoose Lifter since this past July. I have been struggling a bit the past week-10 days. I went to the lanes to practice Sunday and continued to struggle a bit, so I dug out my old Moro Extended Pro Release and put it on and wow, what a difference it made in how my ball reacted. I had to immediately stop using my WC Particle and Absolute Inferno because I couldn't keep then off the brooklyn side. I started throwing the WC Reactive and it hooked like never before. In fact it was a bit strong as it wanted to hook earlier. Then I went back to my Mongoose to see what happens and the ball became weak for me again. Then back to the Pro Release and the ball became a monster again.

I used the Moro Pro Release for the last 7-8 years until switching to the Mongoose this past July. Apparently the difference is the Mongoose doesn't cause you to cup the ball and I don't have the strength to cup it even weakly cup it on my own, where as the Pro Release does if you set it to cup a bit. I didn't set it for a strong cup, only a weak cup, (3rd notch) but it sure made a big difference. I may try it for a week or two and see what happens before making any coverstock changes.

I didn't mean to hi-jack this topic with a wrist device report, but was trying to explain why I may have to make a cover stock change to my WC Reactive. Can't speak for the WC Particle yet until I use it some with the Pro Release.

Jim,
 Just FYI, I have mine up to 4000 abralon AND polished; I'm not sure what yours is at, but maybe you could try a higher grit and not use any polish (just a thought).
