Cheetah arsenal thoughts
« on: March 02, 2012, 12:40:26 AM »
 

Ok Im bowling in a scratch tournament tonight, the pattern is old Cheetah-35 ft., and the surface is first generation Brunswick Pro anvilane. 


So far, I have four balls that I am on the fence about taking, they are:


Track 607A SE, Pin down under bridge, hole on my pap, surface is 500/2000 no polish


Seismic Aftermath- Pin above middle finger, no hole 500/4000 no polish


Storm Eraser-pin above ring, no hole 500/4000 no polish


Seismic Raging Bull Charged-pin down under ring, no hole 4000 oob with polish.


Also, these are possible replacements:


Storm Hot Rod SS Pearl-lower diff., pin under ring and no hole


C300 Pure Swing-Pin above ring finger, dbl thumb hole, really smooth ball


C300 Momentum Swing-Pin high above bridge, hole on pap


Hammer Black Widow- Pin above bridge, no hole


Ok, out of the balls I have listed what would you take? Im gonna say I will have space for 5 balls max. FYI, my specs are 425 rpm’s, 23* tilt, 60-90* axis rotation, 17 mph ball speed. Pap is 4 7/8">, 7/8"^, right handed.

 All the pin down balls look fine, id be more concerned about lowering that axis rotation and let the ball tumble end over end more instead of going sideways.

Yeah old Cheetah and 1st Gen Anvilane = lots o' hook

 

You'll want to get stuff that will bleed off some energy in the midlane and roll more on the back.  Pearly/shiny stuff might be good after a while, but not for the first couple of games.  I think the pin down stuff and having something that is pretty smooth sanded with a fresh 2000 pad might will be the best starting point.

 All the specs were pretty much my natural A game if you will, I can lower my tilt and rotation if needed...

My main emphasis when I bowl on the Cheetah pattern is the surfaces on the balls in my arsenal. The Cheetah pattern is the shortest at 35' but has the most oil by volume. Since you will be bowling on Brunswick synthetics we know that the lane surface itself is hard. We don't know about the CONDITION of the lane surface though. The topography of the lanes can make all the difference in the world. Therefore, you should have an arsenal of bowling balls that are dull( under 800 grit ), smooth sanded( 1,000 thru 4,000 Abralon ), and polished. These figures will need to be adjusted based upon your ball speed, axis roation & tilt, rev rate, etc. Good luck !

You just need to make sure you use balls and surfaces that allow the ball to go more forward (roll) off the end of the pattern. When I bowl on cheetah or any of the world tour patterns on short I will use a few balls at 500, 800, 1000 and 1500. I almost never use anything higher than that because you will be generally creating to much angle in the back.And what I usually see is people using balls with polish and want it coming left off the end of the pattern. . Obv. there are times when you need more but i would start out with that first.
