135 Drilling
« on: June 24, 2004, 08:35:18 PM »
Is a 135 degree drilling bad for a stroker, I am a decently ok bowler but very competive (sometimes a bad comb.) would this help me or just a bad idea.

There are no absolutes when it comes to drilling pattern vs. bowling style.  A 135 degree puts the (assumed) mb in or near the track.  That makes the ball delay it's hook/roll characteristics.  Unless you have a high rev rate, all that really means is that you need some dry for the ball to work.

I tried it with both a fluff release and some big revs. It was on a menace pearl. The ball goes about 30 feet straight as an arrow and them cuts left and continues in a straight line. It is like an angle drawn over 3rd arrow to the 5 board at 30 feet and back up to the pocket. Straight and straight with no arc. The ball revs up quite a bit and then hits really really hard.

This is a great way to keep the ball from overreacting in the dry, but don't expect much of any area when you miss right.

Overall, I prefer a Sonic-X or a XXXL

I'm not the best with drilling talk.  If you could explain it better, feel free.  All balls need dry to hook, but a 135 degree will need more time/lane than other drillings.  A high rev rate will take advantage of any dry part of the lane faster.  I was trying to keep it simple for an apparently beginner question.

This question is based on the ball, and the surface of the ball. And YOUR specs.

Without these, its kina hard.

But in general, if the ball even has a MB, it will be in the/or near the track. This poisition will USUALLY give a angular backend. And depending on pin position, it can be LENGTHY or just kinda lengthy. The surface of the ball affects this also.

Please note that this is GENERALLY what happens. The ball itself is what really matters.
