I currently have all Visionary equipment. I just got the 2 newest Gryphons, the G-3 and the Burgundy. I drilled the G-3, which is a pearl resin, the same way I have my Blue Sparkle, which is a solid reactive, drilled. Because they are drilled the same and have similar cores, they react very similar but the G-3 has a much stonger backend reaction. Which is what I was looking for. Now I need to drill the Burgundy, which is a high load particle. I will be using this ball on heavily oiled lanes. One of the guys I bowl with owns a pro-shop. He has drilled all of my equipment. He said I should drill the particle ball differently than the other two. He said particle balls are designed for mid-lane. So I should drill the ball for a mid-lane reaction, which would put the pin below and kicked out to the right of the fingers. The other two are drilled with the pin above and in between the fingers, which gives them length and a strong backend reaction.
So, should a particle with the same core as a resin be drilled differently?
Keep in mind, I want these balls to compliment each other. I would like to use the Burgundy for heavy oil, G-3 for medium/heavy oil, and the Blue Sparkle for light/medium oil. I am trying to use only these three balls, plus a plastic for ten pin, for 90% of the conditions I may encounter. I would like to keep the rest of my equipment in the trunk of my car, just in case I need something different.
