Do you think that some balls just leave more ringing 10 pins than others?
I have a new ball that I tried out yesterday and after warming up I was hitting the pocket high flush and out of 8 balls (going down and in) I left 7 ringing 10's. Then I moved inside and had the same problem. The ball's surface is 3000 with polish. It's drilled with the pin about 4 1/2 " from the pap and just up and to the right of the ring finger.
I used two other balls during the session and did not have this problem. Do you think putting some surface on the ball would help? Really like the looks of this ball (arc reaction) but 10 pins and I are not on a friendly basis.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks for the input.
Unless you are dead certain that your league or tournament condition will be EXACTLY like this practice session, why not wait a while to see if the ball changes slightly with use or if your league session will be slightly different??
You can always adjust the surface, but to do so immediately after the first session with a new ball might be jumping the gun.
For the time being, on this practice session, why not try getting this ball out to the dry a little earlier, so it doesn't hit "behind" the head pin?
Also this ball could be a go-to ball for when your other balls start to burn up a little in the midlane, like in the 3rd game.
These are just a couple of alternatives. If you feel it's the right thing to do and the right time, you can always adjust the surface to a slightly rougher degree.
