Title: Urethane-Like
Post by: vadertyme03 on February 02, 2016, 02:19:20 PM: Currently I am mostly throwing urethane only on most house shots. However, every once in awhile the lanes will play just a little long. When this happens, I have a hard time getting either urethane to roll into the pocket how I want. I was curious if there was a mild/weak reactive that would give a urethane-like reaction. (side note: I generally do not do well with pin under drillings so would like to eliminate that as an option before it gets brought up). Any and all opinions/suggestions welcome.

And FYI, pin up or pin down doesn't have that great of an effect on the motion

surface is the number 1 factor that determines ball motion, followed by pin distance from PAP. layout and core strength are down the list

For me, that gives me a very urethane-like reaction out of a reactive piece. I usually use that as my spare ball, but it can definitely be used to go straight and/or to combat dry lanes.

Post by: Brunswick_fan_BrandonH on February 04, 2016, 08:28:25 AM: I agree with Jim by using a reactive resin ball with a weaker layout, you can get a urethane like roll but more backend motion and higher carry percentage. I would suggest using a 90 x 2" x 45 dual angle layout on a Radial Rack Attack.
