Higher Flaring Balls and Backend Continuation
« on: September 01, 2005, 04:15:20 PM »
Does anybody feel that the big powerful backending balls lack continuation when you start to get deeper?

I've noticed that I can use any of the strong backending balls when I'm playing outside of 3rd arrow... but when I move inside of around 3rd arrow, the ball doesn't want to be as continuous. It seems like the balls may be losing too much energy when you move in deeper???

But I can move in deeper with some lower flaring balls and get a stronger continuation out of them.

Anybody else see it like this?


Thanks!

having trouble getting the balls out far enough soon enough? I know that the problem i run into with high flaring balls inside is that they just move too early, so if i do get it out far enough, it usually has already used up most of its energy to recover. I love using my pin over bridge- low flare flash point inside compared to my high flare leveraged pearl blade.

Another point I would like to make, however, is that I don't often have a lot of opportunities to play inside with the rediculous flood on the inside and the absolute desert on the outside that most houses around here use. Sport shot league and tourneys are virtually the only time i get to play inside, even when the lanes break down they still have a lot of remnants in the middle from the ths.

I see this problem, too. I "try" to use my XXcel, but it hooks that much that I have only one house in the region with enough oil to make it work properly. I normally play 3rd arrow, and when I move deeper (4th arrow and sometime even more) the ball not properly finish - probably because the oil pattern is not long enough through the steeper initial angle and the longer dry backend which robs the ball's energy. Even when I get it to the pocket this way, it does not carry as good a forced shot over the 3rd arrow which might go Brooklyn. It is a great ball, but the strong flaring capability of the core makes it hard to handle when there is only short oil!

maybe a more aggressive layout with more length would do the trick
