i need help with ball suggestions.
« on: September 20, 2015, 11:25:05 AM »
i recently got a hammer spike black gold that i won. i drilled it cause i jave had good luck with hammer in past. i mostly throw all roto grip right now. i started out thirs with my outcry which was good for two games and it ate the heads up i cant keep chasing right cause with my ball speed i cant get the outcry to turn corner and carry i start plaquing corners. so i was expecting my black gold to get thru heads which it does it ignores them but then it just arcs to pocket and hits so flat.  i am looking for something that will ignoee the broken down heads and backend like a monster. does this exist if so give me your suggestions.

That's what the Spike is supposed to do. There's just not enough information to really help you out.

I've become a fan of starting with a weaker ball and switching to something stronger if I need to

When a ball is hitting flat, it's generally (but not always) a sign that the ball is burning up in the midlane and using too much energy too early. I wonder if you're not playing deep enough to clear the heads & midlane sufficiently to retain energy or you have too small a VAL angle and/or too short a pin-PAP distance on your black/gold Spike??

You can also try to smooth the surface more and re-applying polish. Worst comes to worst, you can plug it and re-drill it with a more skid/snap layout.
