« on: May 22, 2008, 01:33:38 PM »
i bought my kinetic 3 months ago got it cleaned tonight and went to the lanes to throw it well all i got out of it was when it hit the lane it would be irratic it seemed like it would wooble the cover mint no cracks or chips is it possible that the core broke inside and has thrown off the weight on the ball causeing it to move like it has a flat tire??

How was it cleaned?

(No offense, but please use some type of punctuation to separate your thoughts that was very hard to read. No, I'm not playing teacher I'm just trying to communicate. thanx.)

Could be something simple like a bad lane condition, or playing the wrong part of the lane. It doesn't take much of a malfunction to throw things off. Even if the oil pattern was perfect, maybe the stripping or cleaning of the lane went bad. Try it again before assuming the ball is bad.

By the way, if the core has separated the easy way to tell is to drop it on the floor, preferably one that's hard, but covered with carpet or a rug. You'll hear a distinctly different sound ("crack") than a normal ball which should sound like a "thud". It's also louder than normal when it hits the pins.

A separated core does not affect the balance of a ball and would not cause it to wobble.

Seriously, it's not that hard to use punctuation.  The advantage?  It makes it a LOT easier for other people to read what you have written.  This means you're more likely to get responses to your question, and people won't just give you crap about lack of punctuation.  Just saying...

You don't by chance have a camera so you could get video of your ball "wobble" as it goes down the lane, do you?  That might give us a better sense of what actually is happening and what can cause it.

I'm heading to the lanes so if I can find the camera I'll record the video and post it.

While you're out and about, pick up ANY book pertaining to proper punctuation.
