Title: All cover..
Post by: BradleyInIrving on January 03, 2017, 03:25:44 PM: If a ball company came out with a ball that is the HOOKINGEST cover
they made and put it around a pancake weightblock, what would you guys do?

1. Not consider it?
2. Drill it for tournament conditions?
3. Drill it for house conditions?

Post by: CoorZero on January 03, 2017, 03:34:23 PM: Interesting question. I probably wouldn't consider something like that though. Cores are too important in my opinion, at least for my game. Would be really, really worried about carry with something like that. Especially for corner pins.

I got a plaque too for consecutive strikes in a row...

Maybe you should of said, "pancake blocks do not carry for me, period!"

I loved this ball years ago. My only issue was carry down or migrating left of 4th arrow. Ball was money on fresh short or flat patterns.

Post by: SG17 on January 03, 2017, 07:34:40 PM: I probably wouldn't consider it at the strongest cover. a tried and true cover that is more likely in the medium range, say storms R2S cover as an example, that I may pick up.

for me, on the amounts of oil where the strongest cover would be appropriate the pancake would likely not carry. but on a medium or a more dry pattern where I know I can get the ball to turn, the pancake block wouldn't be a problem for me. heck, on a pattern like boardwalk or other shorter pattern it may be a benefit.

Post by: SVstar34 on January 03, 2017, 07:55:28 PM: I would consider it for short patterns with volume. Would I actually buy one? Not sure

Post by: lilpossum1 on January 03, 2017, 09:13:37 PM: What about the opposite? A strong asymmetric core with a really weak resin cover

Post by: ignitebowling on January 04, 2017, 07:54:59 AM: Storm posted this with the release of the Rocket and covers most of what is mentioned.

Post by: Jesse James on January 05, 2017, 01:28:36 PM: I certainly wouldn't buy one, since I'm sure I have something in my library that could just as easily mimic its reaction.
