Ball / surface /drilling choice for spinner release
« on: May 08, 2009, 01:35:57 AM »
Hello,

I hope you can help me with this by giving your opinion?

My mother has a true spinner release. Her track runs almost opposite of her span and is approx. 5-6 inch in diameter. She doesn't have the high revs of a helicopter ball and throws the ball at 14 Mph. The weight she uses is 13 Lbs and she's a lefty.

The 13 pound is to heavy in my opinion to benefit from the true helicopter release which relies on deflection and pin action.

The biggest problem she has is bad carry. On real good pocket hits she leaves a lot of seven pins and also the five pin because of deflection.

Light and heavy pocket balls carry oke, but the mid pocket is very unsuccessful.

What kind of ball would be the best choice to conquer this problem. Would you advice a strong ball with good continuation through the pocket, or is there an other solution to get more "space" at the pocket.

What I also ask myself is, what would be the value of the modern cores, because her ball never comes into a real roll. the core is spinning more around it's axis rather than changing direction into the forward roll.

I'm very interested in what you have to say about this.

Thank you,

Antoine

Thanks for the answers.

@ Deadbait, Why would you choose for a symetrical ball?
