Backend Reaction of Ultimate Inferno?????????????????
« on: March 24, 2005, 05:15:31 AM »
I just bowled with it for the first time today, and i was a little puzzled about the pin action. It rolls perfectly and finds the pocket no matter what line but the backend is just not there??? Why do you think this is happening?? You think its burning up on dry lanes before it hits the pins?  Right now its 800 grit, I think if I polished it to 1200 or so that might help.

Likely so. It probably needs the surface taken up to 1000.

I Bowled last week end in our Nationals. They had one condition for the 5s and one for the Singles and Doubles.I done pretty good in the 5s we started with that, had 235/167/237 was a silly 2nd game my fault.My UI went really well on that condition, me being a stroker bout 16mph straight down 2nd and it just grabbed enough at the breakpoint to get up. The condition in the singles and doubles was much harder lots more oil just could not get it to finish at all so i moved out and angled it in only had a 556/571 in those two.Its very frustrating for me that i cant play on a very long oil as i just dont have the revs to get it back in.......Help plz

Very true - and the UI is one of those balls that wasn't meant to be.  Don't use a scuba mask to try to cut down an oak tree.

Learn to play your breakpoint closer to your target - the pocket.  On some conditions (most house shots) you can find a drier area further to the right, but that's not true on every condition. On very heavy oil, the answer is not always "move farther outside".  Angling the ball in from the outside with today's reactive equipment is not always the best idea either as the ball gets to the proper breakpoint, but with the wrong angle crosses over.

Kill the back row (or maybe this should read "make your spares, dummy")

My best friend has an Ultimate Inferno that he left in box surface, and I agree with Bob's assessment that the ball has great midlane movement but isn't much of a backend monster. He's able to play a variety of ways on the lane depending on how heavy the oil is and loves the ball- but he knows that he needs to put the ball away when the head oil from the front is gone.

Polishing the ball may make the move sharper at the back, but I doubt the Ultimate Inferno will ever be the big hooker you may have been hoping for when you initially bought it.

I would guess that your slower speed+ a lot of surface+strong cover+strong core= not a whole lot of backend out of this ball.
