Versatile Oilers?
« on: January 23, 2005, 12:26:08 AM »
I'm looking to buy a oil ball that is not as condition specific to heavy oil. (Then again it could be the drilling. On my UI, most say it is a stacked leverage?) But most people say the UI if drilled strong for an early roll will burn up in anything less than heavy oil. I'm hoping that is right because I'm having major problems trying to get my UI to hook. Yesterday, my V2 Clean outhooked in the backend and midlane! I dont think it was lightish oil either because I had to play a pretty tight line over 3rd arrow for it to hit the pocket.

But anyway, is there any oil balls out there that can be used on medium all the way to heavy w/o burning up in the first 10 feet. Most people say the Rule is a good ball but I'm afraid to buy a new oil ball to find that my light oil ball outhooks it. I throw around 16+ w/ medium-low revs. Many say I come around the ball which results in a low track. I dont know if those oil balls dont hook as much because of my release? Back to the balls, does anyone know of such ball?

The V2 Clean is proabbly at least 1 and maybe 2 complete steps or levels below the UI in oil handling capacity. Unless polished a good deal, the UI needs a lot of oil, I'd suggest nothing less than true medium-heavy oil, while the V2 Clean is more for medium-light oil. So, little wonder that your V2 Clean was outhooking the UI; the UI had to be "strangled" in that much dry.

I agree with Inverted - drilled a little less strongly, but by no means weakly, the UI, especially with some polish would be more versatile. Most balls can be made more versatile by lengthening the pin-PAP distance to the 4",possibly the 5" range depending on your hand and ball speed, and the pin's position above or below the bridge AND the ball's core's dynamics.
